John Asquith 1676 Elizabeth Slingsley abt 1676

Note:  This is mostly speculation. 
The dates fit 
The places - Batley and Woodkirk - are just a few miles from each other 
The names of the children (male) fit with the descendants

John Asquith
Christened 27 Dec 1676 Batley, York, England
Parents:  Thomas Asquith and unknown mother
Married Elizabeth Slingsley 24 Jun 1694 Batley, York, England
Note:  I've seen her surname recorded as Kingsby in Family Search - so I think there is either an extraction error or someone misread the SL for a K.  I did find other Slingsleys in the area, but no Kingsby
Possibly Buried 20 Apr 1720 Woodkirk, West Ardsley, York, England
Note:  There are 3 John Asquiths that were buried in Woodkirks - this one and two others that were buried in 1741 and 1747 - all are possibilities; however, I chose this one as he would have been 44 (an old man in the day and age) More research is needed.  If this is him, Elizabeth would likely have remarried as she would have had minor children in her care.
