Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Birth record/baptism of William Heap

There's little in the Archives that isn't available from FindMyPast/ Ancestry/ Familysearch.

Did you limit the baptisms to Ovenden alone?
Include Halifax, Thornton ( nonconformist  too) before saying that you have found nothing.

I've looked through findmypast/ancestry/familysearch/freereg for many years hoping one day I'd find a baptism, but haven't come across one.
I also can't find a matching birth.

It's possible he wasn't recorded sadly but I'd love to confirm who out of the Heap children was his real parent (perhaps I might through DNA). I feel as though 'Samuel Heap' was a fake name, but it's weird as William does name one of his own children Samuel. Perhaps his father was a Samuel, but not a Heap.

Only a thought - my Appleyard family was based in Wheatley/Ovenden area and yet a lot of their baptisms were at South Parade Methodists in Halifax.


I had a look for the South Parade Methodists on the familysearch wiki, and it isn't coming up with a link to search through the records, only a microfilm?

1851 for William

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SPMC-HJ3


yes, this is the correct William.

I managed to find baptisms of all the Heap children of James and Mary that are mentioned on the census. It's complicated by the fact there is actually another family with parents James and Mary Heap at the same time in Sowerby and this James is also a weaver.

Potentially twins Elizabeth and James 1814 Sowerby
John 1816 Sowerby residence Salterhebble
Harriet 1822 Sowerby residence Thornton (who I think is potentially William's mother)
and William 1823 Sowerby residence Thornton

I've got Mary dying in 1856 (widow on 1851 census) and James in 1846.
James' occupation is weaver, then later farmer.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Birth record/baptism of William Heap
« on: Wednesday 10 February 21 14:10 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I'm trying to find a birth record/baptism for a William Heap between 1837-1840 supposedly in Ovenden, Halifax (his birth place on the censuses.)

On his marriage certificate he states that his father is 'Samuel Heap' a labourer. He is stated as being a minor, and this marriage was in 1857 to Ann Veasey in Liverpool.

The most likely William on the census is one who appears to have been probably illegitimate and living with his grandparents James and Mary Heap in Ovenden in 1841/51. Potentially his mother was their daughter Harriet (he named his own first daughter Harriet.)

I've gone through all the William Heaps on the GRO index for this period but have already matched them to a family, and cannot find a baptism at all for a William Heap. Before I contact the Archives in Yorkshire for help, I wondered if anyone on here could help me?

Thanks :)

Hi again!

I was wondering if you knew whether the records you searched included Non-Conformist records and all of the neighbouring parishes or if they have not been digitised/transcribed yet?

I have been doing work into the Oram family and found some other Orams who were baptised Non-Conformist and am wondering if George and his siblings were also!

Thank you for that, and yes, that is my George there!
Harriett was first baptised in a Catholic church which is why it states age 15 in the margin, and she definitely did marry Joseph Tipping

I can’t see a marriage for George Heap/Ada Foxon  :-\

I found it in 1896 on the England + Wales Marriages

As you couldn't find it- I narrowed it down and found that on findmypast.co.uk, the index is under 'George Heaps' in 1897 and 'Aderiennener Foxon' and on the ancestry image his father is Thomas Heaps!

I feel like I'm rather answering my own query here! Glad I didn't order the certificates!
Guess I'll have to keep searching what happened to these elusive Heap men...

August 1917 St Leonard’s Bootle
Richard Heap and Emma Hudson
His father , Joseph Heap, deceased miner.
Presumably not yours but if you want further details just ask.


Thank you for such a quick reply!

I might have to rethink Richard's supposed death in 1929

I don't know how I've never noticed this on ancestry before- I feel rather silly!!

Hi, I don't know if you have this,

but there is also a baptism for

 Robert Jones 1874 to Henry, mother's name Mary Ellen Crocken
Maria Helena (Mary Ellen I assume) 1881 mother Mary Ellen Crockin

I think there's others on ancestry under Liverpool Catholic baptisms but her maiden surname hasn't been transcribed
