Death certificate copy applied for date 1958

A possible suggestion ? there is a 1840 headstone epitaph/MI with date of birth on for Stephen 1763 (If so - hence not a baptism date)

Thanks again dobfarm. We have ordered the 1840 death pdf just to see what the occupation is.

I will follow up on the MI's.

I emailed the owner of one tree yesterday and they replied today that they copied the information from Ancestry and haven't verified the dates! so there's a surprise.

But he suggested Mirfield where the parents were supposed to have married and there's nothing there but I have

Hannah, 21 December 1754, John 6 May 1757 and Joseph 23 Dec 1760 but I have found these at Birstall

Hannah 18 Jan 1755, John 16 July 1757 and Joseph 27 Dec 1759, all children of Jno or John of Liversedge Park.

Now there still isn't anything obvious for Stephen but if the dates on the trees are births, then these actual baptisms could tie in.

2nd opinions anyone?

The info on family search originates here

http://www.hammerton.uwclub.net/wc01/wc01_113.htm

The source is dated 2006 based on research done in the 1950's by a Mr Marshall..

Interestingly, there are no places given for the birth.

We are in touch with the family but they are currently on holiday but they have said they will get in touch on their return.

DawnSH mentions Mirfield above.  Many Emley Parish records are incorrectly filed as Mirfield on Ancestry.  The records are fore Emley, the reference number is for Emley but somehow West Yorkshire Archives have put them in a folder for Mirfield.  I have reported this on numerous occasions but the errors remain.

Thanks for that Pat, though our mystery remains.

We have been in contact  with the family who have copies of Mr Marshall's research from the 1950's. A copy of everything has been passed on to us.

We have managed to verify everything he found back then, our verification took hours with the help on the resources online, his reports are dated and he took months and trips all over the place to find out what he did.

But the elusive link from Coventry back to Yorkshire remains.
