Rebecca was baptised at Sigglesthorne 6 Feb 1766 daughter of William Nightingale of Sproatley.

I can find a sister Ann baptised 1762 and a marriage for a William Nightingale to a Catteran Hoylins 16 November 1747

Presumably you have the birth of her son John, baptised Hornsea 21 May 1786 and her marriage to Joseph Wallace 12 June 1786 also Hornsea.

She was buried at Hornsea 6 Jan 1800
