William Maw the younger

Events

Date of Birth: unknown.

Place of Birth: unknown.

Date of Death: uncertain.

Place of Death: uncertain.

There was a William Maw buried in Thornton Dale 25 November 1729, but it is not certain that that is the burial of this William.

Relationships

Father: William Maw.

This relationship is implied in the name “William Mawe the younger” given to Robert's father in his baptism record of 1661.

(presumed) Mother: Priscilla.

The most plausible construction of families from the Thornton Dale registers makes Priscilla the wife of the William Maw given here. She was buried 11 March 1663/4.

Spouse: Margaret Smales. Married 15 November 1660 in Thornton Dale, Yorkshire.

The marriage is recorded in the parish registers.

(probable) Children:

Robert Maw (baptized 15 September 1661 - probably buried 31 March 1747) married Mary Smith 1 December 1687 in Thornton Dale.
