    1. [WRY] PICK children born 1795-1801

    3. Hello from a newly joined lister with a Yorkshire brick wall !!. I am looking for the baptisms of three children believed born in the area between Leeds and York. We think one of them, Harriett PICK, is our direct ancestor. She married Robert CALL in 1820 in Bristol and census records are fairly consistent with birthplace Bramham/Boston Spa, Yorks , birthdate 1797. Her baptism could not be found in actual searches of the Bramham/Boston parish registers. A John PICK and Ann HANSON were married in Leeds (St Peter) 10 Nov 1795. He was baptised in Spofforth, she in Leeds St Peter. Four children of this couple were baptised in Bramham - David PICK 1802, Mary Ann PICK 1804, Samuel PICK 1806 and Jane PICK 1809. The parish register entry for David shows him as child number 4, and the other children are numbered in the registers too. We think , but cannot prove, that this couple had at least three children before David and that one of them might be our Harriett PICK. We think it likely that these three children would have been baptised and it seems probable that this would have been in parishes in the area between Leeds and York. IGI searches have not yielded any results - probably because there are big gaps in the IGI coverage in this area of Yorkshire. Does SKS have easy access to any or all of the following parish baptism/burial records for the period 1793 to 1802: Collingham, Newton Kyme, Bardsey, Thorner, Barwick in Elmet, Aberford, Saxton, Tadcaster, Harewood, Kirkby Overblow, Spofforth, Adel and the various parishes of Leeds. If so I would be very grateful if a search could be made for the baptism/burial of any child of John and Ann PICK in the period 1793-1802. Information about any other PICK baptisms/burials during that period in these parishes would be very welcome too. Thank you Ian L
