Another possibility for the place name is Helpston(e) and, by coincidence, there was this person in Wombwell:-

1861 Census - 4, Jump, Wombwell, Barnsley
Thomas Crowther Head 48 1813 Carpenter West Melton, Yorkshire
Ann Crowther Wife 55 1806 - Helpston, Northamptonshire
Sarah Ann Crowther Daughter 19 1842 - Yorkshire
George Crowther Son 12 1849 - Yorkshire

Also 1851 but just Northamptonshire

There was an Anne Wilson baptised in Helpston, but not until 1815. Also, an Ann Wilson who married a Thomas Crowther in Bradford in 1835, but may not be the same person.

There are images online but I can't any Wilson baptisms c1775-80.
