They had a William in 1800:

Yes, definitely "Hippings End Sow".
Well done for finding your GGG grandmother's baptism.

Shona, much of this branch was Sowerby Bridge, but Sowerby is further west, and I have ancestors buried there. Sowerby is closer to Heptonstall.
We visited a few years ago and had a wonderful time looking at all the churches. Heptonstall is amazing, and my Jacksons seemed to travel up there to have their children christened.

I've now worked out that the word that looked like "Urb" is in fact "Web", which means that Henry Pollard was a webster until the last child's birth.

I've now found the marriage between Henry Pollard and Betty Morely on FMP, in 1784 at Halifax.
There is also a Morley website and book, and I have registered with it and am awaiting access.

From Malcolm Bull's Calderdale Companion:
Hippings Also Hippins. Used in place names – such as Hippings, Hippings End, Hippins Farm, and Hippins Stone - the word means stepping stones across a stream or river EDIT: Ooops, have just seen you already had that, sorry, Elizabeth. I should have clicked all the links first! Last edited by Janet; 14-08-13 at 14:16.
