Notes |
- There is also an Aaron Crabtree who christened a son Moses at Bradford on 16 May 1731.
I have guessed that the one who was father of Moses who married Hannah was the one from Calverley, on no real evidence except that Wrose is near Eccleshill while an address in Bradford could be anywhere in that parish. Need to check.
From "A Brief History of Eccleshill" at
http://www.eccleshill.net/ecchist.htm
"Eccleshill Old Wesleyan Chapel - Located behind the Victoria pub, for the last 150 years has been used as a workshop. Built in 1775 by the great and good of the area (John Child, Joshua Hall, Abraham Kitson, Moses Crabtree, John Page, Thomas Yewdell, Thomas Reed, William Read & Thomas Lee). John Wesley preached here in 1776, a new chapel on Stony Lane was built in 1854. It is rumoured the houses in front of the chapel were built as an act of spite to block the chapel by a Methodist minister."
