Thank you Ciderdrinker.
That is quite possibly her mother, the dates seem to fit. I will follow that lead and see where it goes.
Marriage could be worth a look too. I wonder Jose could be a pet name for Joyce, or even a different spelling, as Jose and Joyc-e sound very similar.
Yes, I looked at Levisham for baptisms in that era and no look. I even went through each page of the parish records online incase the transcribers had missed something.
There were a few burials;
1773; burial of Elizabeth wife of Robert Wilks
1778; burial Robert Wilks of Newton Dale
1785; burial Jeremy Wilks
I think I will look further into that Will too.
Thank you :-)
