I'm confused
Daniel was baptized 9 December 1798 at St Mary the Virgin Rufford abode Mawdsley

Daniel born 25 October baptized 27 October 1798 at St Michael and All Angels, Croston abode Mawdsley

same child same parents baptized twice.

Got side tracked

Perhaps Daniel was not expected to live as he was baptised 2 days after birth. Then baptised in the home church when he did actually survive

That burial date does not make sense with the death registration quarter either. Robinson's birth & death are both registered in September quarter ie July/Aug/Sept. There are no other Robinson Andrew births or deaths in the Wakefield district

The main hat making centres were N Cheshire & SE Lancashire, the biggest areas being Stockport & Denton.

Apparently the mercury used in the industry caused mercury poisoning leading to insanity which is one probable explanation of the phrase “mad as a hatter”

Hope you are successful in your archives quest. Let us know how it goes
