Huddersfield area is most likely for Joseph Brooke and Hannah Muff

Kucinta Report 5 Apr 2015 22:31

Witnesses to the 1792 marriage were John Goodyear and John Brooke, not that it helps with Hannah's baptism.

Don't forget that Hannah/Anna/Ann were often used interchangeably


Name: Ann Muff
Event Date: 13 Feb 1773
Event Type: Christening (Baptism)
Parish: Thornhill, St Michael and All Angels
Father's name: Joshua Muff

Ann the daur of Joshua Muff of Overton.

No indication of birthdate, so no idea if Ann would have been a minor or not in 1792 (Hannah is not recorded as such on the marriage register)

Joshua Muff had several children baptised at Thornhill c1768-1784
