Hi Silky

I had a look on the Sussex Family History Group baptism database but nothing is coming up for Elizabeth.  To help narrow it down, as Sussex is a big county, where were the banns read?

IGI shows a marriage for Elizabeth Budden to Reuben Buckner on 23.1.1788 at Cranborne, Dorset.  There are also several baptisms for an Elizabeth in the Dorset area in the 1770s.
