They must have travelled around quite a bit. The infant Elizabeth was born in Yorkshire!
George was a stone mason.

I wonder if Isaac and Jessy could be the same child?
Yes, the 1871 original has been mistranscribed as Isaac, daughter :-S

"Isaac" in the 1871 is Jesse on the image. Littleborough isn't that far from Todmorden.

hi Potty,

Thank you, you are a star. I've not seen "at Parsonage" I've seen "at home" before on christening but not that.
