On 10 Jan 1897 Alma and Emma Harlington had four of their children, and two from Alma’s first marriage, baptised in the Anglican faith in the parish of Goole. Alma was described as a 'ship-smith' and their address was given as Alma House, Percy Street, Old Goole. This record was useful as it gives the years of births of their children. One wonders why they decided to have so many children (whose ages ranged from less than 1 year old to 13) baptised at this time? Cleasby and Doris who appeared in the 1891 and 1901 Censuses with the surname Harlington were the children of Emma and William Pratt, born in Bradford. They may well have been baptised there.
