Finding more info on Mary Priestley

[CuriousKat]

Hello all,
Jesse Mitchell born Halifax August 1827 son of Jonathan Mitchell & Mary (daughter of Robert Horsfield)this was a baptist record, Clayton Queens head baptist chapel,
now i spent ages trying to unsuccessfully find a Mary Horsfield, so switched to tracing back Jonathan, I found a marriage for Jonathan Mitchell (b1796 Yorkshire) & Mary Priestley (b 1797 Northowram) at Bradford Cathedral 19/10/1818
Priestley made me think as Jonathan & Mary also had a child whom they named Priestley, baptised 5/9/1829
Found a baptist birth record for Mary Priestley b 29/3/1797 Northowram ( no father listed daughter of Martha Priestley)

Can you help me find anything on Mary or Martha Priestley/Horsfield & also Robert to see if i can connect the dots.
Thanks

Thank you, I thought the Martha was Arton rather than Aston, wondered if the Martha & Jane names were coincidental with Mary's mother maybe related? I couldn't find anything else though.

She would of been 21 ish when Mary was born so she could be.
