Further to my e-mail below. Mary's burial should have read Mary Read aged 85 25 Sept 1829 not 1929!

My husband?s ancestors all appear to be named Richard Read. I have one generation sorted, but the previous one is giving me some problems. That Richard died in Wroughton, leaving an 1815 will, naming wife Mary and brothers in law Morris and Richard King executors, but I cannot find birth or marriage details for this Richard or for children whose names appear to be Richard, Mary, Elizabeth and Ann. There could have been more, but these names are taken from his will. Thank you for any assistance that can be given. Heather Brain Mel. Vic.
