Birth and Baptism:

The 8th entry from the top of Page 78 in the "Baptisms, Burials 1796-1812" record book of the Penistone church, documents the baptism of Joseph Wainwright, son of John Wainwright and Ann, his wife, formerly Hobson, on June 5, 1802. The birth date is documented as June 4, 1802.

Burial:

The record book of the Penistone church, documents the burial of Joseph Wainwright of Shore Hall on June 6, 1816 at age 14.

It appears that this is the same Joseph referred to in the above birth and baptism records because the birth date agrees with the age at death as does that of the John Wainwright who is also buried in this grave and believed to be his father. No other documentation for a Joseph Wainwright in the right time period has been found yet in the Penistone records.
