Is anyone able to access the baptism register for Dent, Yorkshire?

Question

I am attempting to sort out children born to William Bainbridge and Mary Lamb in Dent, Yorkshire.

My feeling is that sometime after 1815 there were two William and Mary Bainbridges in Dent whose children overlapped. All the children are attached to William and Mary Lamb on wikitree.

I wonder if there may be clues in the original parish register (abode/ father's occupation) that might help to distinguish between them. If anyone out there is able to view the register It would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I couldn't find an online source for original Dent registers but Familysearch in their Books search have a handwritten transcript of the register 1801-1813 (lucky/unlucky timing?) which gives abode and occupation. The first three children I looked at, Agnes, Mary and Betty, were all of William and Mary Bainbridge of "town" (Dent), occupation waller. It's not searchable as all manuscript, last section of the  book. Parish register transcripts, Finsthwaite and Satterthwaite, Lancashie, and Dent, Yorkshire. https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/viewer/884821

Thanks for finding that. It looks like all of the children up to and including Miles in 1813 are siblings with father William a waller/stone mason of 'town'.

I wish it had a couple of extra years, 1818 would be interesting when two Bainbridge children were baptised a couple of weeks apart.
