Hi
I'm trying to establish the parentage of of my 6x great grandmother Mary Sargent (nee Genge), buried at Osmington on 18 Jan 1818.
She would have been born about 1747, and married Thomas Sargent on 15 May 1769.
The only likely parents I can find are Robert Genge and Alice (nee Angel), who were married 29 Sep 1747 in Osmington.
I have found baptisms for some children, Robert (10 Feb 1750), William (22 Sep 1749), Caleb (20 Aug 1757, buried 27 Dec 1757), and Alice (20 May 1764).
Are there gaps in the records into which Mary might fall - or was she born out of wedlock?
I'd be interested to know the parish of origin of Robert and Alice Genge too, if their marriage entry records it.
Many thanks
Andrew
