Is it possible to find any records on Joshua Cawthra. I am interested to find out if there are any records of his parents, or brothers and sisters. I think he married Martha Hemmingway, in December 1822 at Hightown, Birstall. I can follow them and their children.

Thank you for all the information. I think I really need to find a marriage certificate for Joshua Cawthra (b 1802) and Martha Hemmingway (b 1805), who married December 1822, at Hightown, Birstall.

There is no certificate as it was well before civil registration.
The church register entry is transcribed here. What information are you looking for?
