baptism look up please
« on: Saturday 10 September 11 00:13 BST (UK) »
I have a Joseph Booth.He married Sara Farrer in 1693 at Elland st marys  in Halifax west yorkshire.Had a look at elland st marys register but no baptism for him there.Their daughter sara also married at elland in 1718 to thomas singleton.he could have been baptised at st johns in halifax but I havent access to those records. would it be possible for someone to have a look for me ,or maybe he could even have been from nearby huddersfield or bradford.
Thanks

Trevor

Hi Trevor ,
Nothing showing for a baptism in Halifax for Joseph Booth . Do you have his age at death to narrow it down ?

4 in Bradford ( 1668, 2x 1669 ,1670 )
1 Birstall  1668
1 Calverley  1673
1 Sandal Magna 1663
1 silkstone  1668

Only Thomas Singleton baptism 5 Feb 1693 , Huddersfield St.Peter  , father Joshua Singleton.

Hi Jane,
the thomas singleton you found is correct,he was from huddersfield.
I found a burial for a joseph booth at elland st marys halifax in 1721. There is also a death for a sarah booth in 1738 ,shes down as a widow.Could be right couple.There is a baptism for a joh'is booth in 1668 at elland but dont know what joh'is stands for ,do you?
Thanks
Trevor
