These baptisms at Marsh Chapel are recorded in the West Yorkshire Archives under reference number C25/70a. The catalogue actually records the location as Cleckheaton Primitive Methodist and the cover page of the register itself shows it as the Cleckheaton Wesleyan Reform Chapel. On the first page of baptisms the header has been amended from Wesleyan Reform Chapel to read United Methodist Free Church Chapel, Cleckheaton.
The original records are quite messy and often confuse the date of baptism with the date of birth. There are also pages which are completely out of date order, but these have been added below in the correct order for ease of browsing.
The handwriting varies through the years but on the whole is quite poor. Every effort has been made to accurately transcribe the details. If possible, you should check the below details against the original records.
The format for the entries is: Date of baptism, Child's name, details of Parents, Address and date of birth (or age).
The register states that the baptisms commence in 1860 but the first two entries are from slightly before this time.
