Baptism of Elizabeth:

The record book of the Penistone church, documents the baptism of Elizth [Elizabeth], daughter of Zachariah Wainwright at Penistone on February 13, 1774>.

Note: we don't have documentation that this is the Elizabeth that married Joseph Hobson, but she is the most likely candidate, since she would have been about 22 years old at the time of the wedding, which was in the same church.
Marriage:

We don't have documentation of the marriage of Joseph Hobson and Elizabeth Wainwright yet, but the Penistone parish register records for the baptisms of son Zachary and daughter Ann, record that Joseph Hobson and Elizabeth Wainwright were the parents.

Baptism of son Joseph:

The record book of the Penistone church, documents the baptism of Joseph, son ofJoesph Hobson, of Oxspring. at Penistone on January 25, 1789. He died six weeks later.

Note: We don't have documentation that his father is the Joseph that married Elizabeth Wainwright., Since there is a 7 year gap between this baptism, and Zachariah's, and the record of Joseph's baptism does nor show his mother's name, it's possible that this Joseph may not be the son of the Joseph Hobson that married Elizabeth.
