Hello Neil,
A marriage at Chard, St Mary the Virgin, on 22/09/1819, John Elliott and Priscilla Pavey.
Some of the Chard Parish Registers have been transcribed and are on http://www.freereg.org.uk
Cannot find baptisms for John, Priscilla, or Lucrecia.

The full extent of their family in 1841 shows 'Herbert' aged 2 who appears to be the child named Allan Herbert baptized 28 March 1839 at Chard St Mary. Parentage: John Marwood & Priscilla ELLIOTT of Chard Bor: Gardener.
I suspect the parents were Nonconformists as marriages and burials were conducted in Chard but the above was the sole baptism recorded at Chard St Mary for their issue, perhaps in a life threatening situation?
In 2002 I was in correspondence with another researcher pursuing WILMOT & ELLIOTT in Chard and, as a consequence, I extracted many events from the PRs for her. If you would like the ELLIOTT extracts, I suggest you send your email address to me in a PM.
