Wragby is a parish with a village and three townships, located about 5 miles, (8 kilometres) from Pontefract in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Originally here was an Augustine priory founded in 1105 by Robert de Laci.
The church of St. Michael and Our Lady, Wragby is dated to 1533 and less than seven years later the Roydhouse name appears in the records that have been transcribed and digitised.

Between 1646 and 1658 a John Roydhouse (likely born 1619) had the following seven records.
1646 :: John, son of John, baptised and buried
1649 :: Mary, daughter of John, baptised ( possibly married John Pell in 1668)
1651 :: John, son of John, baptised and buried

WILLIAM, also record as Guilamme
William the wheelwright baptised at least five children.

1646 :: Jane, daughter of William, baptised
1648 :: Susann, daughter of William, baptised
1651 :: Joshua, son of William, baptised
1652 :: Elizabeth, daughter of William, baptised
In 1670 William (likely born 1641) buried Richard and in 1671 John was baptised and buried.
The will of William Roydhouse in 1656 illustrates the incompleteness of the records.
It mentions his wife, Rosamond, first son William(?1641) first daughter Mary,second daughter Sarah, third daughter Rosamond,fourth daughter Jane(? 1646) fifth daughter Susanna(?1648) and sixth daughter Elizabeth(?1652).
Perhaps the marriage of William and Rosamond, baptisms of daughters Mary and Sarah and the burials of Joshua and William senior are yet to be transcribed.
RICHARD also recorded as Ricardi

Samuel baptised at least two children.

As a Samuel Roydhouse appears about 30 years later baptising children, I believe he would also have been a son of Samuel senior.
In 1671 Samuel (junior) married Francisca Pease.
