76 John Oldroyd
77 Mary Whitworth (1759-1851)
Mary Whitworth married John Oldroyd on 17 June 1781 at All Saints church, Wakefield, Yorkshire, England. They had five children:
- John Oldroyd (1783-?)
- Matthew Oldroyd (1787-?)
- James Oldroyd (1789-?)
- Mark Oldroyd (1791-1868)
- William Oldroyd (1795-?)
Mary was buried 16 February 1851, at the West Parade Wesleyan Chapel, Wakefield, at age 92. This indicates a birth year of 1759.
The most likely baptism record I have found was that of Mary Whitworth, the illegitimate daughter of Anne Whitworth, baptised 26 November 1758 at All Saints, Dewsbury.
There are two possible baptisms for Anne:
- Hannah Whitworth baptism 6 March 1734 at Dewsbury, All Saints, father Saml
- Hannah Whitworth baptism May 1744 at Dewsbury, All Saints, father Joseph
I have not tried to trace the family any further back at this time.
