  There are no baptism records for an Isaac Smith near Bradford around 1753 (if aged 60 when died), the nearest being Northowram and Ovenden (both North of Halifax). The Non-conformist Northowram baptism shows William Smith, father of Isaac to be from Clayton, which is very close to Allerton (only about 1.5 miles south).
