Also, from the IGI:
bap 14 July 1830 Askrigg, George WEBSTER, parents Robert & Peggy WEBSTER
marr.12 Nov 1825 Askrigg Robert WEBSTER and Margaret ALLEN
Robert CAPSTICK's birthplace and occupation of Baptist Minister led me to
the marriage of his parents John CAPSTICK and Alice SLATER 23 August 1814
at Colne, Lancashire. Robert's birthplace, Marsden, is in the Colne Valley
just south of Huddersfield, and is a very strong noncomformist area. There
are the baptisms of two of John & Alice CAPSTICK's children at Colne:
bap 1820 at Colne Particular Baptist, Betty daughter of John & Alice CAPSTICK
bap 26 Feb 1822 at Colne Particular Baptist, Ann dtr of John & Alice CAPSTICK
There are at least two nonconformist churches at Marsden where Robert could
have been baptised - the Buckley Hill Independent Chapel, and the
Congregational Church. Both of these churches records have been
microfilmed by the LDS.
