Can anyone help me find a marriage for William Bleasby (born Whitkirk, 1785) in Hunslet or Whitkirk, some time around December 1808 when his daughter, Martha, was born in Hunslet, please? I have searched the microfiche at the West Yorks. Archive Office but couldn't find any sign of a marriage around this time. The family appears on the 1841 and '51 census living near Waterloo Road, Hunslet. There were at least three children: Martha b 1808, Ann b 1821 and Grace b 1826. In 1841 William had a wife named Ann (nee Spurr I think) but she died in the 1840s. I am not sure she was the mother of Martha, however. He might have married someone else first, given the gap between his children. Can anyone help me find a marriage for him, any time up to 1821 please? So far this search has been very frustrating! - Truia.
