Settlement record 1771
« on: Tuesday 31 March 20 10:37 BST (UK) »
I have found a Settlement Record from 1771 for my ggggg grandparents Thomas and Lydia (Lidia) and their daughter Hannah. They were living in the parish of Royston, West Yorkshire. The Settlement Record says they had their legal settlement in the parish of  Winterson, West Yorkshire - but there was no such parish. The writing is fairly clear - see attachment. Anyone know where it is or which parish it could be?

There is a Wintersett near Wakefield which is not too far from Royston, and I'm wondering if that could be it. Thought?

I can also see it as Winterset. Especially in the second instance.

Yes, I think that's what is. Only issue is that Winterset doesn't seem to have been a parochial parish back then.

The Settlement Record says they had their legal settlement in the parish of  Winterson, West Yorkshire - but there was no such parish.

The settlement record says Township of Winterset, not parish. It was a township in the parish of Wragby.
