Title: Ramsbury Parish Register
Post by: cminton on Sunday 06 January 13 04:14 GMT (UK)

If anyone has access to the Ramsbury PRs, could you look please up the baptism of a Leah Bright, or any Leah, after about 1818 until 1830. She may be a 'base born' entry. I want to know the mother's and father's names if mentioned, date and any other information entered.

Thank you!

the regindex suggests >
Ramsbury WIL 1837 1936 Hungerford
Ramsbury WIL 1936 1974 Marlborough

so a listing maybe listed under Hungerford or Marlborough or any village within that area;   however in saying that i went to family search  and the following 2 appear under Ramsbury but different surnames>

Thanks for that. I have looked into them but still hope for a 'Bright' entry in the register. Leah Hopes Bright is her niece.

If Leah Hopes Bright is her Neice then Leah must be the Sister/Sister in Law of Leah 1845's Father George 1808.
Where does Leah c 1818-1830 appear on Census entries?
Can you give us any more info on her please.


Trish :)

My mistake, Trish. Thanks. Cousin to Leah Hopes Bright. Leah Bright is possibly, perhaps probably, daughter to George's sister, Martha Bright b1802.

Leah doesn't seem to appear in the 1841 census. The only record I have of her is her marriage in Ardington in 15 May 1842 to John Embling. They emigrated about 2 weeks later from London to NZ on the 'St George'. The marriage certificate gives her age as 21. Her Monumental Inscription in NZ in 1895 says she was 76 at death (b1819). She may have overstated her age on her marriage, even by several years. She gave no parents for the Certificate.

My purpose in posting is to try and find a baptismal record for Leah. Martha Bright has two children baptised at Ramsbury, in Jan 1830 and Jan 1832, in her own maiden name. She married in Feb 1832 and moved with her husband to Wantage, near Ardington. She herself was also baptised at Ramsbury. The previous posting to you gives two baptismal possibilities, under different surnames, at Ramsbury.

When was Martha born?
If she Married Leah may be under her Married name in 1841 Census.
