Almondbury Bpt Look Up COMPLETED
« on: Monday 29 October 07 14:38 GMT (UK) »
Please would somebody help me with my Joseph WOODHOUSE.

From the census Joseph was born about 1803/4 in Honley. I am hoping that he was baptised in Almondbury and that the entry says that the parents were from Honley.

As always in this neck of the woods (Almondbury), there are a few to choose from! I think they were mentally challenged when picking christian names - they always came up with the same ones that everyone else did.

Hopefully, you might be able to glean something from the parents' names. Anyway, here goes

1. baptised 20.3.1803 s/o Jonathan , occupation = cropper (no mother's details) at Honley Chapel
2. born 31.3.1803, baptised 8.5.1803 son of John & Mally (nee Crossley), abode = Farnley, occupation = clothier, no details of which chapel.
3. baptised 24.7.1803 s/o John , clothier  abode= Coat (no mother's details) baptised at Honley Chapel
4. born 14.5.1804, baptised 10.6.1804 s/o Benjamin, clothier & Grace (nee Kaye) abode= Castle Hill, no details of which chapel.

I think , where there is no mention of a chapel, it means that the child was baptised at the 'mother church'  i.e. Almondbury Parish Church, so that should reduce your choice to 2!!

Good luck - I know how difficult it can be trying to sort this lot out!!

Thanks very much for that Jill.  The daughter of Joseph and Jane WOODHOUSE married into my CLEGG line. 

I have a number of Joseph CLEGGs too.   Shocked
