MARR Record says Jonathan was of Saddleworth and Martha was of the parish of Almondbury, where the marriage took place. (Film #990854)
This ancestor was once thought to be Martha Ellen Beaumont, born at Heath in 1762. However, since another Martha Beaumont has been found, who was born at Almondbury, where the marriage to Jonathan Midgley took place and where all of their children were born, it is apparent that this second Martha is our ancestor. We have therefore changed the ancestral line to follow this Martha Beaumont of Almondbury. Ordinances from Archive Record, Film 1273613.
