Hi Ian, If David was a stone Mason I think he's in Boston Spa on the 1851 census. States he was born in Bramham. Were the whole family stones Masons? That time period was when Boston Spa and area were growing so there would be a call for them. You seem to have gone through the census and some Parish Registers i.e. Bramham? Boston Spa's Church I believe wasn't built until 1815 so long after the children were baptised at Bramham.. I would work in a circular motion around Bramham hitting all the churches in a 5 mile radius Looking at the long list of Parishes you require a look up for it might be worth your while to contact the YAS http://www.laplata.co.uk/yas/content/public.html Is the marriage entry in Bristol not able to help at all? I notice on the 1841 census that Robert wasn't from Bristol either. Have you traced where he was born? Harriet was a tailors apprentice which I could see being from the Leeds area. I have looked at the NBI for Pick and the earliest burial is 1816 in the Boston Spa area of West Yorkshire, so that doesn't help much. I can't see one David on a later disc. I did notice on two later census that the census taker has Boston down as place of birth. So I would presume your research has ruled out that possibility. The Hugh Wallace Site has Boston Spa on it and many of the other places you were asking about. Check the LDS Family History Library out to see if any that are not on Hugh's site have been filmed. Just further suggestions for your research. Kindest regards. Elaine in Ottawa.
