    • Records of All Hallows Cathedral
    Notes 
    • David Firth and Martha Shaw, were probably not married at All Hallows Cathedral nor even at Almondbury. Considering that they were known to both be living at a place called “Sellars Clough” near Marsden in 1820, they were probably married at the chapelry in Marsden. [3, 7]

  • Notes 
    • “Sellars Clough” is probably a reference to the modern “Cellars Clough”, an area along the Huddersfield Narrow Canal just to the northeast of Marsden along the A62 near Sparth Reservoir. This is the location of the Cellars Clough Mill, a woolen mill that opened in the late 19th century and was owned by brothers Samuel and Copper Firth. That Maria Firth was living at Sellars Clough, Marsden, Yorkshire with her family at the time of her younger sister’s baptism is inference based on lack of any evidence to the contrary. [1, 5]
