Crispin/Christopher is my great great great great grandfather

There is the death of a Christopher Crawshaw recorded in Halifax in 1848. The transcription of Yorkshire burials gives a birth date of 1781 and the place as being Sowerby Bridge.

That is place of burial as being Sowerby Bridge.

Yes I'd seen that in my travels.
By the way John, I was on another line with one of my great grandmothers - Ann Dyson/Wragg. Her maiden name was Wordsworth but I've seen it recorded somewhere as Wadsworth.,

Is it coincidence or are you on the same ancestor trail?!

[MCrawshaw]

By the way, that burial entry for Christopher Crawshaw ages him at 67 in 1848.

This puts his birth year at 1781 - exactly that of Crispin.

I have a John Carter marrying Ann CRAWSHAY (Crawshaw) in 1787 Dewsbury.
Any relation to your Crawshay/Crawshaw?
