Isaac KIRK, son of unknown KIRK and unknown SMITH, was born in Haslington, Cheshire 1720.


It looks as if Isaac was born out of wedlock under his mother's  name of SMITH, his father's name being KIRK.  The entry in the parish register reads " Isaac SMITH alis KIRK, a Bastard, baptised 13th August 1720" .  Note: "alis" is latin for "otherwise".  Isaac could have taken the name SMITH in which case I would never have started on this Family History lark.


Isaac died 8 September 1793 at Winterley, Cheshire, at 73 years of age.

His body was interred 11 September 1793 Barthomley, St Bertoline
Extract from the parish registers of St Bertolines, Barthomley states: 


"Died 8,9,1793 - Buried 11,9, 1793,  CH. YD Isaac KIRK - Haslington - Age 73 - Blow from an horse hastened his death. - Pauper. No account can be obtained of his descent.  (ie. parentage)."


He married Ann Kirk (maiden name not known).  As yet no marriage has been confirmed other than the entry for Ann’s burial which states "Ann wife of Isaac". 


Ann was born 1716 and died 4th January 1793 in Winterley, Cheshire, at 76 years. 

Extract from parish registers of St Bertolines, Barthomley states:
