Thank you arthuruk,

for explaining the differences, sometimes shown, between 'F' and 'T'.

It is most appreciated.

Thank you BumbleB and arthurk,

I thought it might be February, but a strange way in which to write 'F'.  Very few entries by this minister to check against.

Any help appreciated.

They first appeared in April 1878, and continued up to 1889 when the Rev. James Crook's incumbency ended.

Good afternoon,

do you know what the letters 'L' or 'X' at the side of a baptism entry in a parish register indicate?

Regards,

Janet

Good morning DRH123,

thank you for your input, I agree that Kirchey is most probably a variant of Kershey/Kirshey, but we are in the business of 'transcribe as seen' not what you think it should be, so the variants will be noted.

Also, thank you to all who have commented.

Regards,

Janet

Good afternoon,

thank you to all who responded.  I totally agree with Churwell, but, I cannot find another occurrence of Kirtley, or possible variant of that surname in Batley or surrounding environs.

He may have been an incomer?

Regards,

Janet

The parish register page is missing for this year.

Thank you for taking the time to look.
