    Family name Cawthery, Cawthorn, Cawthorne or, in many records, Cawthron - but for consistency and to help searches we use Cawthorn and indicate variations in notes.
    At least 17 baptisms are recorded in Pontefract or Knottingley between 1753 and 1775 to a William, with no mother named - we have assumed that the four brothers listed here are sons of the same William.
