It would be interesting to continue the search from 1700 to 1800, but it does not come within the period of this Register. I will conclude my notes from the West Riding Sessions Rolls with another list of Roman Catholics. Mrs Catherine Palmes a Roman Catholick how living at the house of Mr Thomas Waterton of Walton in ye west rideing hath by undue means and practises got into her custody Ann ffrances Stringer daughter of Wm. and Christabella Stringer, Gentleman and Gentlewoman, protestants, (an infant) and detains her from her mother, ordered that she be given up. Sr. John Powell, Justice of Assize. Wakefield October, 1690.
