While we're in the area, I have a copy of the will of Samuel HIRST of Campsall, a Yeoman. This was written 25 Feb 1782 and proved 15 Oct 1782 (PCY). In it he mentions the following: Thomas Hirst - Nephew Samuel Hirst - Nephew William Morton - Nephew Elizabeth Ossit - Niece Elizabeth Whittaker - Niece Elizabeth Bewlay - Niece Margret Morton - Sister William Hirst - Nephew (Executor) I can't find Samuel in an index to Campsall burials, and the only possible lead I have found on any of the others is a marriage in Womersley in 1750 between Margaret HURST and John MORTON (IGI extracted entry). There's no evidence linking him to my family, so who does he belong to?
