Marton in Craven - Parish Registers King Family 1600s

[jonwicken]

Hi there my ancestor was a Henry King who resided in Marton at the 1672 Hearth Tax and was a resident of Mirehouse near Marton at his death in 1680. He became a Quaker and from the 1738 death entry of his son John King it is known Henry had six sons and four daughters.

I believe Henry's earliest children were baptised in Skipton from 1647 to 1650 and at some point after that he must have moved to Marton. I would very much like to know if his later children are baptised at Marton but I don't know where to find access to the registers.

I wonder if anyone perhaps has access to them at all please and could please do a check or help in any way? Or offer assistance on any other potential records for the area for the time.

With thanks and best wishes,
Jon

I might have found the info you require online at wharfegen.org.uk.
Hang on whilst I double check!

Marton in Craven registers are at FindMyPast. They're certainly available to browse, but I'm not sure how much they're indexed - looking for baptisms of anyone called William in 1650 +/- 40 years brought up only 4 results. Or maybe there are gaps.

The original BTs are, I think, at West Yorkshire Archives in Leeds - probably part of the Archdeaconry of Richmond collection. In theory this should mean they are at Ancestry, but I haven't managed to find them there. However, there appear to be a lot of gaps.

Thanks very much for the link.

Yes this would be tricky for me to do! Hopefully copies are at the Society of Genealogists in London!

Thank you very much for checking this out for me. However interestingly this is from my own research that I then shared with Ben Beck for his website! http://benbeck.co.uk/fh/binns.html

These are children of Henry King and his wife, who I believe was called Margaret, that I have identified from poring through various Quaker records and making deductions from places and family ties...

1. John King (1647–1738) Baptised Skipton. Although the age he would have been at death this John perhaps died and a second son named John was born later.

2. Henry\Henery King (1649–1737) Baptised Skipton. Again given the age he would have been at death this Henry perhaps died and a second son named Henry was born later.

3. unknown Kinns\?Kinng (?–1649). Buried Skipton. Burial of a child who could perhaps be John or Henry.

4. William King (1650–1714). Baptised Skipton. Married Mary Parker 1681. His father is known to have resided at Mirehouse near Marton as this is given on his Quaker death entry. William's daughter Abigail King/Binns was born at Mirehouse in 1682 so perhaps William was his eldest son and both John and Henry died and later children were given the same names. 

5. Thomas King (bef c1672–1735)

6. Mary King/Slater (bef c1673–aft 1692)

7. Lawrence King (bef c1680–1724)

8. Margaret King/Walbank (bef c1681–1732)

9. 10. The Quaker death entry of John from 1738 states he was the last of 6 brothers and 4 sisters so there were further children. The child who died in 1649 may or may not have been included in this total.

It is the later children's baptisms I am looking for.

Thanks so much again though for looking and posting.

Thanks very much for replying. Just tried to find the Marton in Craven registers at findmypast and couldn't. Any chance you could post the link to that collection please?

Given the link I provided earlier regarding wharfegen, 486 named individuals named together with family links.

Go to A-Z of record sets, (optionally) select England, type Yorkshire (or just Yorks), then select "Yorkshire Parish Registers and Bishop's Transcripts Browse" and pick the parish you want.

if you get lost, the start page for browsing the registers is
