Thomas Sunderland born c.1813

[trish1120]

Ok so can rule him out I think

[BumbleB]

Using 1782 +/- 5 years - in addition to the entries already submitted:

3 May 1778 - Heptonstall - Henry son of William
22 June 1780 - Kirkheaton - Henry son of John
29 April 1781 - Leeds - Henry son of Ruben
24 June 1781 - Heptonstall - Henry son of William
8 July 1781 - Luddenden - Henry son of John
8 July 1781 - Luddenden - Henry son of Shaw
27 December 1781 - Heptonstall - Henry son of James

I have not looked at the original register entries at the moment, but am willing to do so if required.

The family is Thomas Sunderland, wife Betty and children (son, Squire, an unusual name stands out).
1841 census records Thomas christened 1783-1787 in Yorkshire.   1851 census records Thomas christened 1787 in Sowerby.   I can't find Thomas in 1861 to see what that record shows.

I don't have access to Ancestry, only Family Search which

sorry wrong button

records date variations but not one for Thomas born Sowerby in 1787.

I think I'm confused 

So the marriage was St Thomas, Heptonstall, 27 August 1835

Thomas Sunderland, bachelor of Heptonstall, Weaver and Betty Speak (x) of Heptonstall, spinster.

St Thomas, Heptonstall - 24 December 1849

Squire Sunderland, 24, bachelor, Cotton Warper.  Father:  Henry, Weaver
Susanna Cockroft, 21, spinster, Willow Tenter.  Father:  John Crossley, Dyer

[BumbleB]

From the 1841 census we appear to have two instances of Squire Sunderland - one born about 1824, and one born about 1827, both resident in Halifax.  1824 birth is a Millwright's apprentice.  1827 birth is son of Henry and Betty and is a Weaver.

So, although the age is slightly out - Squire who marries Susanna Cockroft is the son of Henry and Betty.
