Ann, I should look for LEAH. (LEE/LEA/LEIGH) There was a family of that name at Meole Brace around that time. Regards, Ann Researching:- DAYUS. LUTWICH. BULLOCK. POWELL. HICKMAN. JANDRELL. BLAKEWAY.

The marriage is on the IGI but I can find no trace of Lellah as a surname although it seems to have been quite commonly used as a Christian name, a diminutive of Ellen. > Could the clerk have been interrupted and left off the bride's surname? > > I suspect William was either the son of Samuel and Elizabeth Daker, born in Cardington in 1688, or of Samuel and Joice Daker, born in Condover in 1703.
