Ann Eldred married Bernard Baine at Peterborough Cathedral in 1750. I know that BB was living in London at the time of his marriage so it is possible that Peterborough was AE's 'hometown'.
Her memorial says that she was 65 when she died in July 1789, this gives a birth around 1724.
I would really appreciate any help or guidance on this one.

Hi Edward ...
A search of the Northamptonshire Marriage Index (1700-1837) throws up some interesting facts.
Of the 18 ELDRED marriages on the index, 9 took place in Peterborough (St. John the Baptist) and a further 5 were in Maxey (approx. 5 miles north of Peterborough). Unfortunately, the earliest of any of the ELDRED marriages on the indexes was in 1733. It would therefore seem likely that your ELDREDs came from somewhere outside Northamptonshire.
The IGI has two possible baptisms for an Ann ELDRED - 1723 in Sempringham and 1724 in Spalding (both in Lincolnshire and less than 25 miles north of Peterborough). Possibly worth further investigation?
Hope this may give you some further leads to follow!

Pennie, thanks for this
Do the marriage indexes cover the Cathedral, St John the Baptist & St Mary's in Peterborough?
Is there any chance that you could let me have the extracts from the indexes? Assuming that it doesn't break any copyright rules?
The 2 AE baptisms are 'on the radar' but the names of the fathers don't tie in with any of their 8 children. I know this doesn't eliminate them, it just doesn't make them that likely to be her.
Do you know of a baptism index for Peterborough?
tks again

The marriage index does not include the Cathedral, just St John the Baptist.
St Mary's is a modern parish (from abt 1860)
The Peterborough and District Family History Society may be able to help.

Thanks,
Are there any indexes for baptisms at the Cathedral or St John the Baptist?
Edward

I am not aware of any. We did not include the Soke of Peterborough parishes in our Northamptonshire baptism and burial indexes.

Tks again, however I see that Peterborough FHS have now released a CD of the Cathedral registers, I'll order this as it's easier & cheaper than driving to Northampton.

Unfortunately the Cathedral CD hasn't helped, however I manages to dive into the record office in Northampton today (between appointments) and had a quick look at some Peterborough wills and then the transcripts for Peterborough St John the Baptist.
Slightly further forwards, in that I now have her parents and paternal grandparents.
However, I would really appreciate details of any Eldred BMD's in Northamptonshire from anyone who has access to the cd's with the indexes.
I really don't mind buying them but as I think the next step is probably in Lincolnshire or Norfolk, it could just be a waste of money.
thanks

Hi Edward.
You would need to ask Alan Clarke about numerous names
from the Indexes on my links below this posting.
He will be sure to assist. :)

Tks, I have bought the marriage index & it has been a great help, it helped to fill in the disjointed gaps on other information I had.

HI again.
Good to see you have brought the cd.
The indexes by Alan and Marilyn are in-valuable to us
Northants Folk.
Alan will still be able to help with the baptisms etc.

Hi Edward,
I was wondering if you have made any progress with Ann Eldred. I believe my 6x great grandmother may have been Ann Eldred's sister Mary who married Thomas Wright (surgeon of Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire). Their son's Will mentions Ann Eldred's daughter Mary Rose (wife of Forrester Rose).
I know very little about the Eldred family so any help would be great.
Many thanks,
Dan

Still chipping away but you are correct in that Mary married Thomas Wright who have as an apothecary but many of them were apothecary / surgeons. They married at Peterborough 30.6.1748
Please send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send you the little I have on the Eldred family. I think you will need to post one more message before you can do this.
Can you please let me have details of their children & the son whose will mentions Mary Rose nee Baine.

Hi Edward,
Thanks for the quick reply and for the marriage details of Thomas Wright and Mary Eldred (which I'd not managed to find).
Thomas Wright and Mary registered 4 baptisms in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire: Richard Eldred Wright (1749), Richard Wright (1750), Thomas Wright (1752) and William Wright (1757). I believe Thomas was the only child to survive to adulthood (as he's the only one mentioned in the wills of his uncles).
Thomas Wright Jnr died in 1811 and his Will is the one that mentions his relation Mary Rose. It's a Prerogative Court of Canterbury Will which I can send you a copy of if you want?
Regards,
Dan
