Sarah FIRTH m Joseph GAUNT - Kirkburton - births records - 1729

[BumbleB]

Other possible children of Joseph - all shown as taking place at Denby:

Joseph, son of Joseph - baptised 21 March 1729
Judith, daughter of Joseph - baptised 11 April 1737.  Buried 9 January 1742.
, son of Joseph Gaunt - baptised 15 November 1741 - no forenames given for any baptisms in this year 

Also very interesting to see that on 28 June 1741 there were three baptisms of children (1727-1733) plus another on 1 November (1736) - father noted as a Quaker.

I think the fourth child was Thomas - that's the 1741 birth I think.. . .

Thanks for those BumbleB They confirm the births I have, and the deaths of Sarah and Joseph confirm which I had from the distant rellie and which I was trying to confirm.

Were they from Ancestry?    Asking a lot, but can you see their births too?  Of the couple who were married in 1729 I mean.    Was that marriage in Kirkburton, or Calverley?

  The marriage I was hoping was right, says the groom was 35 and the bride 25.  However the info from the rellie does not match those dates.  I don't have the actual records though - just the years.

Very interesting about the Quaker births  -  were these inDenby,  or High Flatts?  That would really be good.

The information on Denby was from Ancestry.

Marriage entry at Kirkburton (FindMyPast - BTs) 17 June 1729 - Joseph Gaunt of Denby and Sarah Firth of Leakhall married by Licence.

The baptisms relating to a Quaker father were at Denby.

There's nothing coming up at the moment for Joseph's baptism, but I'll keep looking.

[Wiggy]

Thanks BB.   Yes that's the marriage where the ages of the couple don't add up . . . . .   but our rellie could have got it wrong I suppose.  He did his research a long time ago . . . . .   though he is 'on site' so to speak.

Just noticed that Joseph Gaunt who died in 1749 left a will - available from the Borthwick Institute in York.

In case we can help, what years are given by your "rellie"?

[Wiggy]

According to him, Joseph was born in 1703 and his father was Joshua and his mother Ann.

and Sarah in 1700. . . .  don't know her parents.

I can find births but they are in Calverley . . .  and the Sarah in that case is, I  think Sarah Hinscliffe and the marriage was in Calverley - Not at all sure about this -   Our Gaunts seem to be Farmers, and the for Calverley family, Joseph was a clothier . . .  not sure really - though as the youngest of his family, it is possible he moved away then returned - or his son came back to the farm.



Those Quaker baptisms,  dates are not right for our Gaunt family about that time - but I am assuming the surname was Gaunt?    For that family our births were 1729, 1734, 1737 and 1741 - so we've been told.

Might have to go for the will of Joseph I think!  Thanks BumbleB

[BumbleB]

Apologies, I may have mislead you.  The baptisms in 1741 of four children whose father was a Quaker - named Richard Priest.

 

[Wiggy]

  That's OK. I knew they weren't our particular family!

I found this whilst looking at Quaker connections to Denby Dale.
