The records are generally pretty good for Rawmarsh and Wath. I've built myself a bit of a spreadsheet to see if I can tie it together.
The John Brameld that I spoke about that is a shoemaker, had three children, George (1765), John (1767) and Rebecca (1770). No mother is given, but there is a death record for a Rebecca, wife of John, Shoemaker in 1774.
In 1775 there is a marriage between John Brameld and Gertrude Wright (a later death record in Mar 1782 shows Gertrude as wife of John, Shoemaker).
I cannot find any record of births to those two but there are 3 interesting burials that I don't have birth records for
Thomas buried Oct 1774 (father John, Shoemaker)
Isaac buried Jan 1786 (father John, Shoemaker)
Jacob buried Apr 1786 (father John, Shoemaker)
It may not be the same John, but a third marriage shows in Jun 1782 to Hannah Barrow.
With the 3 burials seemingly not being in the birth records, I'd assume that Abraham in 1779 was their sibling and that for whatever reason, they are in the non conformist records, which is why I can't find his birth either. His occupation as a shoemaker, along with Henry his apprentice, surely means they are linked to John!?
