Notes

Note 1: Could be Cook

Note 2: Born Redhurst, Richmond but bp Marrick, Grinton Parish

Note 3: Ancestry shows the groom's name as Hadwin

2. Other Misc. Entries

A. A number of the family trees on Ancestry show a William Jones born 1686 and a son David Jones with varying deatils:

- David Jones 1721-1800 born Hurst, Marrick
- David Jones 1723-1800

B. One tree shows William Jones born 1686 marrying Elizabeth Holden 24.8.1758!! (See Conclusion 2)

Conclusions

1. This is the Tree that I have relied on and is in fact our Family Tree with 3 Generations of Lead Miners.

2. I could not find a William Jones born 1686 but I did find a William Jones who married Elizabeth Holden in West Clayton, Bradford on 24.8.1758
