Surname in 1620 Baptism Register

[arthurk]

I still am not sure about what I said - wids, widow, I have never seen it with an s on the end.  It could well be "was" but he didn't always write "was baptised,"sometimes only "baptised." 
I cannot remember if I have ever seen a baptism as Surname Widow, it's possible, but it's usually Widow Surname.

That's much the way I feel about it - and if you look at 'buried' in the entries above, the 'd' is larger and fatter than the 'e', so although initially I thought 'wid' had cracked it, as I wrote earlier, I'm not at all sure of it now. Most entries are just 'bapt', but John on 30 July has a 'was'.

One thought - has there ever been a publication of the register?  One a previous vicar transcribed and had printed?  That has sometimes helped me out when I have been really stuck.

The Huddersfield & District FHS has some transcripts for sale:

Thanks Arthur. I now see that the end Isabel looks similar to Nathaniel on the line above, which I hadn’t noticed before.

No. No offence taken Janet. I just wanted to offer a reason why there may have only been one reply at the time. 

Presumably you have already looked for other children born to “Bastett” in case the name is clearer?

Thank you all for your advice, it would appear that Bastett/Bastott and variants is one name that has not been successfully tracked down and resolved.

Good morning garstonite,

thank you for your input.

I am aware of the LDS/Family Search entry.

Before asking on RootsChat I had already searched through the Batley BMD entries from 1550 to 1900 for Bastett/Bastott and variants on LDS/FamilySearch, Ancestry, FindMyPast and other sites, without success, and conducted an unsuccessful blanket search of Yorkshire for the name.

Regards,

Janet
