FamilySearch has a marriage between a William Hall and a Martha Harrison 5 Feb 1788 at Carleton in Craven, Yorkshire. Just outside Skipton, and therefore very close to the Lancashire border. Of course I don't know whether it's the same couple as in the baptism.

It could be them , but they were in Ormskirk R.C births on the micro fiche they would have moved around as skipton is about 60 miles from Ormskirk , will keep looking maybe check the liverpool records as liverpool isn't far from ormskirk .

I don't think this william Hall is anything to do with william Hale . so will have to look at other options . There are lots of hales around the ormskirk liverpool area ,potentially the right years and could be father of our william . but will wait to see the archivist comes back with anything . I need to go and look for myself . but i don't think they are open yet to the public . I will definitely as soon as it's possible .

There's a birth of a william Hale 1795 Liverpool To a isacc hale and catherine youds . the right year for our william .

there's a few other william hale births around halsall and melling around 1797 . these places are not far from ormskirk .

Remember it's most likely he was a Catholic. If that is correct, then wherever he was from, he won't have been baptised in the C of E.

Qwackers · #99 25-07-20, 07:12

yes ,that must be a consideration .

Um, he may well have been baptised C of E if born before 1791. (Catholic emancipation act).
