Title: baptism Priestcliffe, Which parish?
Post by: julieann1 on Wednesday 27 January 10 14:02 GMT (UK)

I am trying to find the baptism of Martha Hibbert born about 1814 Priestcliffe. 

She married William Dunn in 1833 at Bakewell.

Is Priestcliffe in the parish of Bakewell or is it a separate parish?  Also, can anyone tell me where I can find parish records?  I have been lookng for Martha's baptism but it doesn't appear on Familysearch and Idon't know where else to look

Thanks for any help :)

Thanks Patrish, that sounds close enough to be feasible. :)

Does anyone know if there's a CD of BAkewell baptisms available?

Priestcliffe baptisms would normally have taken place in Taddington. Taddington may well itself come under Bakewell (I'm not certain from memory), but certainly has its own registers. These have also been transcribed by Val Neal.

When I googled "Priestcliffe" it did appear somewhere that it was a "joint" parish with Taddington.

Genuki gives Taddington in the Bakewell registration district from 1839 - 1974 also Eyam and Eyam Woodlands.

So think that one is a good possibility  :)

No Martha bapt in Taddington I'm afraid.

However there was a Joseph & Mary Hibbert of Priestcliffe who had children bapt there (Mary Ann 1816, Ellen 1818, Eliza 1820, Emanuel 1825).

(Joseph Hibbert of Priestcliffe & Mary Bagshaw of Priestcliffe married in Bakewell 2/11/1815.)

Apart from the single bapt of Benjamin s/o John & Ann Hibbert in 1797 (NOT of Priestcliffe), these were the earliest Hibbert baptisms in Taddington, so even if your Martha was born there, the Hibberts didn't originate there.

Whilst I'm at it, the Martha bapt in Eyam 17/6/1815, was as you know the dau of Thomas & Ann. She was their only child bapt there, and Thomas was described as a "post chaise driver of Stoney Middleton".

Cheers

Hi Mark,

Could I be really cheeky and ask you to check the name Hibberd?

It's seems from looking at the census that Hibbert/Hibberd were used indiscriminatley, depending on who was writing it down.

Thanks :D

I had already checked all variants, and indeed the baptism of Emanuel I mentioned in 1825 was under the surname Hibberd.

Cheers
Mark

Hi Julieann1
My family originated from Priestcliffe, Monsal Dale, and their Parish Church was St. Giles, Gt. Longstone.
