CHURCH Family East Harptree

[scottiow]

Hello,

I am looking for any information relating to the Church family of east harptree. I found found James Church born 29 Apr 1798 on freereg however his father is not mentioned on the record as it gives the farther's forename as * but surname as church. The mother is listed as elizabeth sheppard.  I have tried searching for a marriage record for a church and elizabeth sheppard but with no luck, any info relating a marriage or baptism would be greatly appreciated.

This james goes on to marry a mary and is listed on the census as being born in chewton mendip.

Also what does bb stand for in the notes of the record, any significance?

All the best
