Thank you Comberton and Pennines very much for your kind replies.
I think that May 1708 was part of 1708 that was missing, so no wonder I couldn't find it.
I know that the writing is dreadful, with some of the records around this time, illegible, but as far as I know, there wasn't a Gawthorp in Kirkburton, but I may well be totally wrong.
So, I'm even more puzzled!
But thanks again to you both for your tremendous kindness, which I really do appreciate,
Kit
