    3. Hi Elissa If you go to http://maps.familysearch.org/ Enter St Mary Bow and search Select the one option and it will present you with a map showing the parishes adjoining it Or select Options and then list contiguous parishes However parishes were so close together she could be from anywhere or further afield Did you find the Mary in a census to give a clue of where she and perhaps Amelia were born? You would have to check each parish one by one but doubt all PRs have survived for all parishes I did a quick search on Ancestry & findmypast but did not find mention of her, the marriage & burial are on Ancestry Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 13/02/2016 15:48, Elissa Kester via wrote: > Hello all > > I am looking of more information about my 3xgreat-grandmother Amelia > EASTERBY who married Thomas WAKEFIELD on March 24 1829 at St Mary > Bow.
