Would anyone have access to Bletsoe Parish Records after 1812? This is where IGI batches finish. I'm looking for the maiden name of Elizabeth who married John Riseley (Risely or Risley) about 1818. There is a user submission but no surname. From 1841 census they had Susanna 1827, Maria 1828, David 1830, John 1833, William 1836 and George 1840. 1851 gives the birthplace of Elizabeth and all the children as Bletsoe. John was born c1793 at Sharnbrook. I have some later data on the family if somebody has connections. Peter

Peter If you go onto FreeBMD, you will find that the birth of George Riseley was registered in the 4th quarter of 1840 at Bedford, Vol 6, page 36. Hopefully the birth certificate should give Elizabeth's former name.
