Title: Marriage and birth location
Post by: xs on Wednesday 23 July 25 19:19 BST (UK)

Good evening.  I'm revisiting an ancestor from my family tree, John Wilkins b1739 Great Ellingham Norfolk and need help to find his parents, their marriage date and place,  and where they were born.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you

As this is before England adopted the Gregorian calendar, need to be careful as to whether this is New Style or Old Style.

Bapts of John/Annes children are on FreeREG also;
John 1764/Anne 1766/Edward 1768/Elizabeth 1772/Mary 1774/Mary 1775
Son John buried 1769

Burial of SARAH Wilkins 9 Jan 1771 Widow + JOHN Wilkins Snr 6 Feb 1762

JOHN/SARAH Bapt Great Ellingham;
ELIZTH 18 Jan 1733/34 and JOHN 1740 as noted.

I see a Tree has John marrying Sarah ADAMS 1750 but these children were born well before that  ::)
Not sure how they came up with a Wormleighton, Warwickshire connection for John/Sarah.
