Hi Roost chat
I have my husband's GGG Grand father marrying at St. Thomas, Salisbury 31/05/1796. Joshua Moody married (with consent of his father) Patty Penton. ( obtained from Hampshire Record Office) One witness was Richard Penton.(maybe her brother).
Wondering if anyone has access to births records that would show who Joshua's parents were. I have one possibility from a birth at Kings Somborne, Hampshire for a Joshua Moody with parents Robert & Mary Moody, 15/10/ 1775. I have Joshua's death 1823 Walcot, Bath.
Appreciate any help/advice.
thanks in anticipation

Hi mudgeemaid,
Have you got the correct location for the marriage of Joshua Moody 31-5-1796 Salisbury St.Thomas?
My reason for asking is that I have looked at the marriage register for this church and no entry appears as you list. (The register is available to view on Anc...y if you have a sub.
Joshua Moody - m - Patty Penton in Hound, Hants 31-5-1796 (per Hants marriage index)

Name: Joshua MOODY
Marriage Date: 31 May 1796
Parish: Out of Wiltshire
Residence: Sailsbury St Thomas
Spouse: Patty PENTON
Notes: Married at Hound, Hants.
? there could be an engagement announcement in an old Newspaper...

As their first child: George Robert MOODY son of Joshua MOODY and Patty his wife of the Parish of St Edmund in the City of New Surum Wilts - 1797 - seems a good chance Joshua's father was a Robert.
Joshua appears to be a Mechanical Surgeon - so assume went to train for this -

I don't subscribe to British Newspapers on line, and have only had a quick look...
Joshua appears to be a Mechanical Dentist (which could mean he made false teeth!) and ended up in Bath.
