PP_83 That Mary Hopwood (83) was the mother of Margaret Hunsley (41)  
Margaret Hunsley daughter of John Hunsley of Millgate, supervisor and Mary was baptised in Wigan on 14 December 1784, born 19 November. PP_82  
John Hunsley and Mary had 6 children baptised in Wigan between 1773 and 1784, including Margaret in 1784. B_1784  
The baptism for Catharine, 4th daughter of John Hunsley and Mary in 1782 in Wigan records Mary's maiden name as Hopwood. B_1782  
John Hunsley and Mary Hopwood married in Leeds in 1762. Witnesses were Mark Hopwood and Thomas Hopwood M_1762  
The letter written by John Hunsley in 1809 to his daughter Margaret Hunsley names Mark Hopwood as the father of his wife Mary. L_1809  
The only baptism in the IGI for a Mary Hopwood daughter of Mark is that in 1743 in Sutton-upon-Derwent (about 30 miles East-Northeast of Leeds). Her mother is Catherine. B_1743  
So the mother of Margaret Hunsley (41),  
Mary Hopwood (83), born in 1743 in Sutton/Derwent,  
married to John Hunsley (82) in 1762 in Leeds,  
died in >1794 in , was the daughter of  
Mark Hopwood (166), and Catherine (167). PP_166  
   
PP_166 That Mark Hopwood (166) was the father of Mary Hopwood (83)  
Mary daughter of Mark Hopwood and Catherine was baptised in Sutton-upon-Derwent on 14 February 1743 B_1743  
Mark Hopwood and Catherine had 6 children baptised in Sutton-upon-Derwent between 1743 and 1750.  
Mark Hopwood and Catherine Thompson married in 1741 in Acaster Malbis (10 miles west of Sutton-upon-Derwent). M_1741  
This does not tally with the letter written by John Hunsley in 1809 to his daughter Margaret Hunsley, which says that Mary's mother was Catherine Whitehouse. See the link to Mary's mother Catherine below for a possible explanation. L_1809  
Mark Hopwood and Catherine Thompson married in 1741 in Acaster Malbis (10 miles west of Sutton-upon-Derwent). M_1741  
The most likely baptism for Mark Hopwood is that in Sherburn-in-Elmet in 1713, son of John Hopwood. B_1743  
A likely burial for Mark Hopwood is that in Leeds in 1797, when he would have been aged 84. His son was buried in Leeds in 1811 aged 61 (born 1750 in Sutton-upon-Derwent), and the son's wife Mary (married 1771) also died in Leeds, in 1792. D_1797  
So the father of Mary Hopwood (83),  
Mark Hopwood (166), born in 1713? in Sherburn in Elmet?,  
married to Catherine Thompson (167) in 1741 in Acaster Malbis, PP_167  
died in 1797 in Leeds, was the son of  
John Hopwood (332), and Mary (333). PP_332  
   
PP_332 That John Hopwood (332) was the father of Mark Hopwood (166)  
   
PP_664 That Richard Hopwood (664) was the father of John Hopwood (332)  
   
PP_1328 That Mark Hopwood (1328) was the father of Richard Hopwood (664)
