Biography

As Philip was baptised at Overton on 1st March 1729/30,^[1] he must have been born on or before that date. He is the son of Philip Hartley and Elizabeth Walker. At the time of his christening, his father was a roper and the family was living at Sunderland, a small village in the city of Lancaster, Lancashire, England.^[2]

Philip Hartley married Ann Brocklebank on 14 Dec 1752 in Whitbeck, Cumberland, England.^[3] [Whitbeck is a parish in Bootle]

His children included:

1. Mary Hartley, christened 11 Mar 1752 in Whitbeck^[4]
2. Isaac Hartley, christened 13 Mar 1757 in Whitbeck^[5] and married Mary Benn in Whitbeck on 7 Apr 1782.^[6] He was a witness to his sister Ann’s marriage to Henry Steel.
3. Betty Hartley, christened 3 May 1760 in Whitbeck^[7]
4. Ann (Hartley) Steel (1769-), christened 12 Jun 1769 in Millom.

Research Notes

Take care not to confuse the small village of Sunderland in Lancashire^[8] with the city of Sunderland in Tyne & Wear / County Durham.^[9]
