Title: Can't find Rebekah Gruncill's birth or family Alverstoke wedding
Post by: Jaguare on Thursday 21 July 22 17:22 BST (UK)
Has anyone got any suggestions, or know if areas of Hampshire haven't been transcribed yet? My 5x Gt Grandmother Rebekah Gruncill married Edmund Wheeler of Portsea on 3rd April 1785 in Alverstoke, Hampshire. I have spent many hours trying to find her birth or potential family using various spellings of Grunsil, Grunsel, Grounsil, Grunsell, Grounsell, Gransil, Grunswell but can't find any variations of these surnames with Rebekah as first name. I have even looked for male Gruncill's who married a Rebekah incase she was a widow. Totally perplexed.

Sorry, not a lot of help - neither signed the register and so interpretation of surname was left to the clergy!
