William Smith - Orlestone

[chrisdix]

Can anyone help with a lookup for William Smith b abt 1801 in orlestone and his wife Sarah ? b abt 1807 in Hinxhill. Their children were all born in Mersham so the marriage may be in that parish but only a guess.

Thanks

The dates of the kids would be a clue as to the date of the marriage.
and presumably they had kids b after 1837 too? MMN should be obtainable from that.

Hi Chris

I've got PRs for Mersham, no sign of the marriage there (a William Smith married in 1829, but that was to a Mary Ann HYDER)

The childrens baptisms are there, have you got the details?
