Records of the baptism, marriage or burial relating to an Abraham Whitaker (or variants thereof) within 10 miles of Bradford, Yorkshire in 1550-1640.

• Abraham Wittagar, son of William Wittagar, bpt. 9 January 1557 in Halifax^[1]
• Abraham Whitaker, son of Henry Whitaker, bpt. 20 March 1580 in Halifax^[2]
• Abraham Whittaker, m. 16 February 1600/1 Ellen Oldfield at Halifax^[3]
• Abraham Whittaker, son of William (residence Bowling) christened 28 Feb 1607 at St. Peter, Bradford, Yorkshire (gender transcribed as female at freereg.org.uk but presumably a typo given the name Abraham)^[4] Presumably the father was the William Whittaker who married Jane Fox at St. Peter, Bradford on 10 Jun 1606 and then had several children in subsequent years there.^[5]
• Abraham Whittaker, son of William christened 22 Apr 1610 at St. Peter, Bradford, Yorkshire^[6] It would seem likely that the Abraham of 28 Feb 1607 had died but a burial record was not found at freereg or findmypast. A 20 Mar 1607 burial record for a child Whittaker was found 15 miles away at Thornhill, Yorkshire but with no father listed it cannot be assumed to be the same Abraham.
