Hi Jackie,

After doing a study of this name there is only one current candidate for Mary.
Mary PARTHERMAN was baptised 19 May 1778 to Robert PARFREMENT and Mary BLANCHFLOWER at Swanton Morley.
ALL the other Mary Pe/arfrements born around the same time have been accounted for. She is probably the Mary PARISH buried at St Saviour Norwich on 11 Jan 1821 aged 41 and her husband buried 5 Jul 1821 aged 40.

Hi Jackie,
The marriage referred to by Junev took place in St.Martin at Oak, Norwich

It also looks like Edward Parish was born 20-9-1780 & bapt. 24-9-1780 in St.Paul's, Norwich the s/o Edward & Martha Parish. (taken from the FreeReg site).

Hi Mitch,
I hope you don't mind me asking, but where did you get the parish for the baptism of Mary from?
I have just been looking at the original image(s) for Swanton-Morley on the Familysearch site (see this address) and her entry is not there.

Hi Alan,

It doesn't appear in the original parish register for Swanton Morley, but does appear in the ATs on page 73 of 151 (last Baptism on the page) at Swanton Morley Archdeacons Transcripts. A few of the other entries also do not appear in the actual Parish Register and I wonder if that is how the name has been recorded as 'Partherman' rather than the standard Parfrement that appears elsewhere in the actual register.

While I cannot 'prove' that this is the Mary that married Edward Parish neither can I find any other unattached suitable candidate!

Regards

Hi Mitch,

Many thanks for that lead. I hadn't noticed these entries before.

The minster certainly had a lovely writing hand!!.
