Hi

Does anyone have any info on Jacob Butterfield b c1777 Keighley. he married Sarah Wright on 12 Apr 1806 in Keighley.

They went on to have 6 children.

I cannot find a record of his baptism and have come to a dead end on my tree.

Any help would be appreciated.
Amanda

I notice that on both IGI and BVRI that if you type in Jacob they give you James, which makes me think that the names are interchangeable.
If that is the case there is a James Butterfield born 10 May 1778, Keighley and christened 7 June 1778. Parents are Isaac Butterfield and Betty Brigg.
There's also a Jacob Butterfield, abt 1777, but it's a submitted record.
