Assuming that the 1870 marriage between John Bell Masterman and Sarah Elizabeth Walker is the correct one, AND that the 1871 Census is the correct one, AND that the 1881 census is the correct one:

Ada Elizabeth Masterman - can't see a registration in 1871, but there is a baptism at St Cuthbert, Ackworth - 26 May 1872 - daughter of John Bell and Sarah Elizabeth Masterman of Carr Bridge, Labourer.

Hannah Maria Masterman - 1873 - mmn = Walker.  St Cuthbert, Ackworth - 5 October 1873 - daughter of John Bell and Sarah Elizabeth Masterman of Carr Bridge, Labourer.

Mary Louisa Masterman - 1878 - mmn = Walker.  St Peter, Warmfield - born 23 October 1877, baptised 25 November 1877 - daughter of John and Sarah Elizabeth Masterman of Sharlston, Labourer.  OK, a little strange that she wasn't registered until March quarter 1878  :-\




Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!

Thanks for all of the transcriptions, there are a couple you listed...I don't have.   I don't why I can't find a birth  entry for him though.  That's the last piece in the puzzle! 

Thanks again!

Unfortunately birth registrations were not compulsory at that time, nor were/are baptisms and of course not all parish registers are available on-line.
