It could be possible that William and John had the same father John, but you need to go deeper into the various family constellations and also look at potential death records to see if the two you are considerering lived to adulthood and have not married or moved elsewhere.

Would these be non-conformist / Methodist records.  I understand such records as is what is related to their religions may not all be cataloged.  I'm concerned that in not drawing records from the full set of data.  Thoughts?

Can't check the Ancestry images for 1781 and 1783 at Otley - only marriages on-line  :'( :'( :'(
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

The Manners records I gave you were C of E, not non-conformist. Familysearch has some Methodist churches but not all. You may also want to look at the RG4 non-conformist registers on ancestry or thegenealogist.co.uk to see if you find any other candidates.

If you take a look at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/WRY/ you can pick Otley, then Leathley to get a list of which churches of all denominations can be relevant to your search.

What is C of E?   Does this mean I'm working in the wrong space.  Thank you for your help.  Robert

C of E is Church of England (Anglican). No you are not working in the wrong space. You need to consider all of the options. Your Whiteheads have used C of E, Methodist and Presbyterian churches. There was a period until civil registration began in 1837 where the only legal marriages were C of E. Quite common to have a couple married in C of E church and baptise their children in a non-conformist church. Which non-conformist denomination would very often be dependent on which was easiest to get to from where they were living at the time. Burials could also be in either or in a civil cemetery. Some non-conformist churches did not have their own graveyards.

Hi

Just reading the thread on this topic - have you made any progress in the last two years?

You might like to take a look at this family on the "Wharfedale & Craven" genealogical website (wharfegen.org.uk) - you will need to register for an account, but there is no cost for this.

The family tree for William & Mary Whitehead shown provides a "plausible" (and fully referenced) account of the family and its ancestry.

Hope this helps
All the people of Wharfedale - mainly between ~1600 and ~1900

Hi Robert
Whiteheads can be wrongly indexed a surprising variety of ways
Whitcheads is a common one if you can use a wildcard search such as Wh*d
Did you get any of the male Whiteheads to do a YDNA test, or just the autosomal one?
FTDNA has a Whitehead group
My ones seem not to have had children baptized (9 and 13 year gaps on some baptisms) or if baptized not registered
Good luck with your lot.
