Baptisms from Halifax Parish Registers 1556-1580. >From Parish Registers of Halifax, Vol. I: Baptisms, 1538 to 1593. Transcribed [from original parish registers] and indexed by E.W. Crossley. Yorkshire Parish Register society, 1910 (Yorkshire Archaeological Society Publication 37). Names: Spelled as given. A number of common names have symbols I can't reproduce to indicate contractions. Thus Johis or Johes = Johanis or Johanes = John; Thoms = Thomas; Willi or Willm= William. fili = filius = son; filia = daughter; fil. = either. I've changed Roman numerals to Arabic numerals, given names of months in English rather than Latin, and changed "de" to "of." Names were listed in groups under year, then month, then day; I give the month and day after each name. Page numbers are from the transcript, not the register. Places: Spelled as they appear. The townships were Barkisland, Elland, Fixby, Greetland, Norland, Rastrick, Rishworth, Soyland, and Stainland (all attached to chapel of Elland); Erringdon, Heptonstall, Langfield, Stansfield, and Wadsworth (all attached to chapel of Heptonstall); and Southowram, Hipperholme, Midgley, Northoram, Ovenden, Shelf, Skircoat, Southoram, Sowerby, and Warley (attached to parish church Halifax, although baptisms from other townships, especially Elland, Norland, and Soyland also took place there). If anyone finds an ancestor and wants a photocopy of the page, please let me know your address, and I'll send it. >From 25 Sept 1556 to 28 July 1558 godparents' names were listed, so I've included entries in which Barracloughs were godparents. 1556 Johenes fili Laurencii Wood of Hipom, 28 September Johne Barrowclouge, Willo Wood & Anne Lea, copat [godparents] [p. 95] Gracia filia Richardi Stockes of Hipom, 7 December Willm Barrowcloughe, Gra Wodhed & Margareta Smyth, c.
