Married William Harris 12 Dec 1786 at Bradenham by licence. He of Ivinghoe.
Adult baptism 20 Apr 1788 at Princes Risborough, a week after her daughter Catherine.
Her daughter Lydia was baptised aged 26 at Chinnor, OXF, after marriage. "Stated that she was baptd as an infant at Presbyterian Meeting House at Princes Risborough (Bucks).".
I suspect the first Lydia also had a noncomformist baptism, & perhaps her husband William.
Does anyone know if the Princes Risborough meeting house records have survived?

Hi PJI.
You could email the baptist church in Princes Risborough, but I seem to think the earlier records, are held at the Bucks Archives(email them as well).

On a side note. I have just checked the BucksFHS PR's for St.Mary's, P.Risborough, and I came up with wedding banns for another Lydia Munday(or is it the same one. :o )
Banns 18 Jul 1784. John DRUCE otp to Lydia MUNDAY otp
Steve. :)

I think it's probably the same Lydia. Banns, but no wedding - & two years later she's over her disappointment, & slips off to Bradenham with a licence.
Maybe someone objected to her marrying John Druce.
I'll try the Bucks Archives. I may be able to get up there one day next week.
