Henry Shaw

[campingdave]

Looking for any further information on the births of Henry Shaw about 1740 and Hannah Standage about 1743 and the church they married. They were married 28 September 1766 in Sherburn in Elmet  .

The Parish church in Sherburn in Elmet is All Saints. From what I can see henry was of the parish of Pntefract and Hannah was from Sherburn.

I can only find one baptism for a Hannah which is close
Hannah Stanadage 20 May 1747 Church Fenton, father William, abode Little Fenton

Church Fenton is only a couple of miles fron Sherburn.

I can't find a Henry Shaw baptised Pontefract.

Thank you emeltom much appreciated 

Pontefract makes sense as their four children were all baptized in Pontefract ( Henry Bradley Shaw 10 March 1776, Betty Shaw 31 December 1767, John Shaw 20 September 1778 and Hannah Shaw 22 October 1770) church unknown !

I have researched John Shaw and Henry Bradley Shaw who both appeared to move to the Selby area.

I don't know how much you know about the marriage -- and I suspect you have this information already -- but just in case!!

I have the Sherburn CD and for this marriage the full details on there are;

1766 28th Sept ; Henry Shaw of Pontefract par (age 26) = Hannah Standage otp (age 23) of Sherburn Lic. JR. Wit; Edw.Heptonstall, F. Crowdon.

Later on the registers of Sherburn become Dade Registers where there are SO many details given -- such as grooms and brides' parents with locations and details on baptisms such as 1st son of or 3rd daughter of etc. They are brilliant for those years covered by the Dade system.

Thank you for the information Pennines it is much appreciated. As a long shot do you have trace of Hannah's baptism ?
I was not aware of Dade Registers. Do you know if these registers cover Selby at all 

[Pennines]

Just about to close down -- but there is supposed to be a list of parishes covered by Dade Registers here;

I will look for Hannah's baptism on the CD tomorrow if that's OK.

Edit -- Whoops I don't think the first link I have given works! I have taken it from the info on link 2. I'll see what I can find out tomorrow, unless someone comes up with the answer re Selby before then.

Oh dear -- bad news I'm afraid. The earlier transcribed registers clearly state that sections are missing in both BTs and ordinary registers. One of the years missing is 1739. Hannah's age at marriage gives her an approx birth year of 1740.

In addition - the scribe at that time does not seem to have differentiated between burials and baptisms.

Searching for Standage or similar there are the following entries;

13 Dec 1740; Dorothy dau of Wm Standage of Sherburn.
26 Feb 1744/5 Christiana dau of Wm Standage (Standish) of Sherburn.

31 Mar 1740; Hannah dau of Ann Stainburn (Stainband) of Sherburn.

However it is NOT clear whether these are baptisms or burials. There is also the following - which MUST be a burial but doesn't say.

23 Oct 1741; Ann Standage (Standish) of Sherburn wdw.

(At the front of this CD several little memos found in the registers have been transcribed - I have picked out a few which may give you a smile, as I do wonder about the sanity of this particular vicar!)

1787 At this month of March the skull of Lord Dacre was dug up in Saxton Field by me John Rodgers, vicar of Sherburn.

Memo; A large swarm of locusts were seen to cross over this place on a dark night of December 1811 by me John Rodgers.

Memo; Paid for papering dining room God know what. JR

Memo; Hailstones fell on this place on 17 Dec 1774 as big as penny rolls. John Rogers

[1825: entered in bottom margin of Baptism Register, page 122: About this
period several large blue and white coloured spots were seen in the
neighbourhood

So sorry I couldn't find Hannah for you on this disc,

Once again many thanks for your valiant efforts Pennines. I have managed to find a link to the Dada registers which advised me which parishes were covered. Just wondering if you knew how or where I could find access to Pontefract parish registers.

Loved your memos and I agree it sounds like a mad vicar.

dave -- there are Ponterfract Parish Registers included in the West Yorkshire batch of records on Ancestry for sure. The church is 'St Giles and St Mary'.

They may be elsewhere as well -- have you tried Family Search?
