Baptism look-up please, Emley circa 1763
« on: Thursday 25 January 18 18:42 GMT (UK) »
Now I know how we all love multiple duplicated online trees, until you find a piece of information and for whatever reason, you can't verify it.

So I'm led to believe Stephen Hammert0n was baptised sometime in May 1763, various dates are given on these trees but I can't find an entry in the IGI, batch p00760-1, or Ancestry and FindMyPast transcriptions.

His parents should be J0hn & Mary.

I would be grateful fi someone could have a rummage around and see what turns up that is verifiable.

Thanks.

TheParish Register of Emley 1600-1812, which is a transcription of the actual register rather than images, is available on the familysearch catalogue. There is no Stephen Hammerton mentioned.

Thanks, I've also looked at the BT's but again no mention.

Do you know if there were any non-conformist chapels?

I'm London based so this is out of my comfort zone.

I cannot find anything on a Stephen Hammerton anywhere, nonconformist or not. Don't know what might be on Ancestry as I don't subscribe. Church-wise I could only quote the churches listed in the familysearch catalogue.

I have a couple of booklets for St Michael's Church, Emley baptisms issued by Huddersfield & District FHS.

There is no baptism for a Stephen Hammerton in the timescale you mention but there is the following:

6.12.1718 baptised  Stephanus Hammerton s/o Johannis. No other info given.

Then, 12.10.1741 marriage of Stephen Hammerton & Elizabeth Silverwood. Again, no other info given.

Then, Stephen & Elizabeth have:
Sarah 1742, John 1744, Mary 1746. No more in Emley, so perhaps they moved away?

Could the above John (1744) have married a Mary (sorry, can't find a marriage in Emley) and named a child after his father? Again, sorry I haven't got Emley burials so I can't make sure the said John didn't die in infancy.

Not sure if that helps or hinders.
HELP!!!

 BATHSHEBA BOOTHROYD bn c. 1802 W. Yorks.

Baptism nowhere to be found. Possibly in a nonconformist church near ALMONDBURY or HUDDERSFIELD.

Thanks Jill, it does help, but only really to clarify what we all know about online trees, there is a grain of truth somewhere but once an error creeps in once it's like a virus and spreads.

What I do know is that my person of interest died in1840 and too many to count have a baptism for him in May 1763. I do know though he was in Coventry for his marriage in 1787.

So if the marriage is correct, then this 1763 could be a complete red-herring. I've started another topic about moving from Yorkshire to Coventry.

Maybe he didn't come from Emley at all.

As a final check, and I know this is a big ask, could you tell me who was actually baptised 3rd May 1763, 21st December 1754, 6th May 1757, 23rd December 1760, the other dates are the supposed baptism for his siblings.

Looking at the BT images on FindMyPast for Emley - there are no baptisms at all on any of those dates.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
