Thanks everyone, the Barker/Hemsley one is the marriage that I already have. As I say, my difficulty is in finding out the bride's maiden name and the name(s) of her previous husband(s). I'm going to spend some time looking at the ones that you have kindly found.
In her will, Elizabeth names the following as beneficiaries - Sarah Baldock (married sister), Thomas Gill (brother), Phebe and Sarah Goodacre, Elizabeth James and Sarah Wagg (née James) as nieces, as well as various of the Milnes family (no relationship stated). You would think I had plenty of clues there - particularly with her brother's surname being given - and still I can't find her! Based on her brother's surname being Gill, I've tried looking for various Gill marriages (e.g. for Sarah marrying a Baldock, or a Gill marrying a James) but without success. Perhaps Elizabeth was a widow when she married Mr Hemsley...or perhaps I'm just clutching at straws! I know I have the right will, as she names some of my known ancestors as beneficiaries too.
I recognise the names Goodacre, Gill, Hemsley and Milnes as local to the Melton area, but Elizabeth could of course originate anywhere. I think I'll put her to one side for a while, but in the meantime, all suggestions welcome!
Regards
Pat
