Good morning List, and thank you so much, Lin, for the work you have put into creating a new group - much appreciated.

I'm research the SPEIGHT and DRAKE families of Bingley/Shipley, West Yorkshire.? My quest is to find a birth and/or baptism for two children born in Yorkshire to Thomas SPEIGHT and Martha DRAKE, namely Samuel and Alice.

Thomas SPEIGHT, born 28 Dec 1801 in Bingley, West Yorkshire, emigrated to North America in 1828.? He is the only SPEIGHT appearing on the Passenger List of Vessels Arriving at New York aboard the Brig Lunar so Martha and sons John, Samuel and daughter Alice may have arrived after Thomas settled in Markham, Ontario Canada c 1830.

I did find the baptism for John (b 15 Dec 1822 in Shipley, baptized in the parish church 30 March 1823 in Bingley) but I'm unable to find same for Samuel and Alice.? Census and marriage records suggest that Samuel; was born c 1824-25; according to the 1901 Canadian census Alice was born 8 January 1827 but I'd really like to be able to confirm that through a baptismal register if one exists.? (Thomas and Martha's other children (James, Michael, Thomas, Joseph, Henry, William B. and Martha were all born in Canada.)

Thanks for any suggestions you might have regarding the births of Samuel and Alice.

Cheers,

Diane
