Title: Look Up Help - John Long Born 1729
Post by: Soph87 on Friday 27 December 24 19:21 GMT (UK)

Hello,

Would anyone be able to support and help identify the parents of John Long please?

From ancestry & Find My Past I have John baptised 1729 in Hilperton, Wiltshire.

John married an Ann(e) Swain in 1758 in Hilperton - not identified Ann's DOB as yet.

John & Ann had four children;

John born 1762
William born 1765
Betty born 1769
Charles born 1778

Such a common name in the area, it's tricky. I see a number of trees on Ancestry have John LONG's parents as William and Joan, though they don't link to a record showing these names.
