Mark Balmforth was born Slaithwaite,Yorkshire England in the Par of Huddersfield.. He has been very difficult to find with what dates we had been given . Fron Par reg. of Huddersfield and surrounding areas no other Mark Balmforth was found except Mark son of Josiah Balmforth.. Having gone over this several times with Geneoligists at Ricks College they think Mark Son of Josiah is our Mark.. That he was christened 14 Oct 1727 and that he married (1) POLLAND< Mary 16 Apr 1750 She later passed away and he Married (2) HEPWORTH, Jane later in his life (age 62) and she being 15 and had two children .. Samuel chr 9 Oct 1791 and William chr 14 Dec 1796 , Jane and son William bur 25 Dec 1976.and then Mark himself bur 21 Apr 1798. . That because of this happening Samuel could have been raised by grandparents or aunts and uncles. For what it's worth I have a feeling that this may be the right one.If it isn't correct as far as we now have it. It is our prayer that the Lord will take care of it during the millenium.
