Cleckheaton Circuit, baptisms::

The following entries were found in a Register deposited at West Yorkshire Archive Service in Wakefield and found on Ancestry in the Non-Conformist Registers ref WC32. The Register is headed "Baptisms in the Wesleyan Methodist Chapels in the Cleckheaton Circuit". The Register begins in 1837. In the date column some of the Baptisms clearly state the place where they were performed, others simply have a date. We have extracted the Baptisms where the parent's abode was given as being in the Shelf area. Witchfield moved between different circuits over the years; it was a part of Cleckheaton Circuit until 1846. Witchfield had its own Baptism Registers from 1807 which were surrendered to the General Register Office under the Non-parochial Registers Commission of 1837 and are now with the National Archives under reference R4. Subsequent baptisms are in the Cleckheaton Circuit Register until Witchfield's own records begin again in 1844
