I am seeking information on my 3rd great-grandparents. William Priddy was born in Much Birch around 1810. His wife, Sarah (maiden name unknown) was born in Orcop around 1811. Their first child, Elizabeth was born in Much Birch about 1838. This information was obtained from the 1851 and am not really sure Elizabeth is their first child. However, since all were born in the same area, I assume William and Sarah were also married there. Is there a marriage index for this time frame or some way that I can obtain Sarah's maiden name. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Joann Bragg Florida, USA
Hello Joann From Much Birch Baptisms Registers/BT's :- 2 March 1806 William, son of Hugh and Sarah PRIDDY. Siblings :- 2 October 1808 John 20 July 1811 James 6 March 1814 Thomas 2 March 1817 Hugh 19 January 1823 Ann 7 September 1828 Sarah From Orcop Baptisms Register:- 28 May 1809 Sarah, daughter of Robert & Sarah GRIFFITHS. From Orcop Marriage Register:- 20 December 1832 William PRIDDY and Sarah GRIFFITHS both of this parish Witnesses Thomas PRIDDY and Maria WITHERSTONE. From Much Birch Baptisms Register (again):- 9 August 1835 Eliza, daughter of William & Sarah PREADY of Aconbury Hill, labourer. NB. The address/occupation of Hugh & Sarah PRIDDY was also shown as Aconbury Hill/labourer with effect from Thomas baptised 6 March 1814. No sign of any siblings for Eliza - seems to have been an only child unless others were baptised elsewhere.
