I am searching for a birth or baptism record for Cordelia Shill who was born in Cirencester in 1811. Her marriage register to John Webber in 1832 was witnessed by John Shill and Eliza Shill, and I have found a marriage record for John Shill and Elizabeth Blandford who are probably her parents. Cordelia was my great great great grandmother.

Hello teulucooke
You have had some wonderful help from the members, I am sure they would love to know if they have helped answer your question.

Thank you for your suggestions. I have been in touch with another descendant of Cordelia Shill and no one has been able to find a baptism record for her. It's possible that she was baptised in a Non Conformist chapel and the records have not been preserved. I have traced her parents and grandparents and have sufficient information to prepare a record of her life.
