I'm trying to find the baptism for and family of my 3x-great-grandmother, MARY FORD.
She married AARON HATCH on 14th August 1798 at Alverstoke, Hampshire.
I have her on three censuses:
1841 Census
NEW FOREST, Wiltshire
HO107 piece 1169 folio 4/10 page 13
Row Hill, Parish of Bramshaw, Wilts
Aaron Hatch 65 Ind Y
Mary Hatch 60 N
1851 Census
PORTSEA ISLAND, Hampshire
HO107 piece 1657 folio 484 page 5
Buckland Portsea
Aaron Hatch Head Mar 78 Grocer Wilts Bramshaw
Mary Hatch Wife Mar 72 Kent Appledore
1861 Census
Hatch, Mary Ann
PORTSEA ISLAND, Hampshire
RG09 piece 634 folio 86 page 27
38 Hertford Street Portsea
John Bramsdon Head Mar 53 Retail Brewer Portsea Southampton
Emma Wife Mar 46 Portsea Southampton
Mary Ruth Daugh Unmar 20 Portsea Southampton
Annie Kate Daugh Unmar 11 Scholar Portsea
William Henry Son unmar 9 Scholar Portsea
Fanny Maria Daugh unmar 7 Scholar Portsea
Thomas Arthur son unmar 4 Scholar Portsea
Mary Ann Hatch mother in law Widow 84 Income derived from properties Rye Sussex
So her approximate place of birth would be Appledore, Kent or Rye, Sussex, which I believe are close together.
She is twice referred to as "Mary Ann" - once on the 1861 Census and once on the baptism of one of her children.
Any help in finding her baptism or family would be greatly appreciated.

I have Appledore baptisms for 1700 to 1807 & there is only one FORD baptism, a boy in 1754, so Rye looks the most likely place.

Thanks for the information, Betty. I shall have to look at Rye.
