You have posted on the Northumberland board, but this should be on the Northamptonshire.
I have asked a moderator to move it.

Thanks been suggested before that it could be Harlestone but the M is pretty clear so just not sure.  I have a likely baptism at Maidford but can't put it on my tree as just not sure.

Hi the Maidford baptism has...

Samuel son of Job Wilson ....miller...& Susannah his wife.
 Man 7th 1780.

Trees on Ancestry follow with Samuel marrying Hannah Allen in Yorkshire. Is he The same Samuel being a naughty boy and charged with larceny in 1816 in Yorks?

However a couple of errors in those trees.

This marriage may cover the baptism at Maidford....

Quaker marriages...

 "On the eighteenth day of the second month of one thousand eight hundred and two Samuel Wilson of ( place rubbed out) Maidford Mill in the parish of Maidford in the county of Northampton son of Job Wilson of Maidford Mill a miller and Susannah his wife.
 Elizabeth Watkin daughter of John Watkin deceased of Blakesley Heath in the county of Northampt. and Lydea his wife."
 Married in Bugbrook.

 There used to be a watermill at Maidford.


 There are Quaker baptisms for this couple in Maidford following the marriage......


That may eliminate the 1780 birth as a possible.

Another possibility for the place name is Helpston(e) and, by coincidence, there was this person in Wombwell:-

1861 Census - 4, Jump, Wombwell, Barnsley
Thomas Crowther Head 48 1813 Carpenter West Melton, Yorkshire
Ann Crowther Wife 55 1806 - Helpston, Northamptonshire
Sarah Ann Crowther Daughter 19 1842 - Yorkshire
George Crowther Son 12 1849 - Yorkshire

Also 1851 but just Northamptonshire

There was an Anne Wilson baptised in Helpston, but not until 1815. Also, an Ann Wilson who married a Thomas Crowther in Bradford in 1835, but may not be the same person.

There are images online but I can't any Wilson baptisms c1775-80.
