Bradford Index
This data was extracted from the microfiche copy of the original parish records for
Bradford Cathedral which are available at the West Yorkshire Archives Service in Leeds and
in Bradford (ref WYAS/40D90). They include all baptisms for Jowett and variants for the
period 1599 - 1610. This period is of specific interest to American researchers as it
covers the baptisms of Maximillian and Joseph Jowett as well as their siblings William,
Grace, Sarah and Josias.
Please note that the manuscripts are recordered in secretary hand and there is some damage, so almost certainly some data is missed.
I have included the given names as recorded as well as in a modern format ("common
name") to assist in searching.
