So you haven't looked online for info?

Information on John Platts was given to me by my aunt who unfortunately died earlier this year so cannot verify this information now, another relative thought that Joseph and Martha may have lived in Derbyshire at some time in their lives.

How did you work back without knowing with certainty when and where the son was born?

Where have you looked?

Any information who be appreciated on Joseph Platts born circa 1705 and his wife Martha Cousin who was born circa 1710, they both probably lived and died in either Sheffield or Rotherham areas of Yorkshire, I think that their son John was born circa 1730 and he married Mary Gilberthorpe
