My mistake, Trish. Thanks. Cousin to Leah Hopes Bright. Leah Bright is possibly, perhaps probably, daughter to George's sister, Martha Bright b1802.
Leah doesn't seem to appear in the 1841 census. The only record I have of her is her marriage in Ardington in 15 May 1842 to John Embling. They emigrated about 2 weeks later from London to NZ on the 'St George'. The marriage certificate gives her age as 21. Her Monumental Inscription in NZ in 1895 says she was 76 at death (b1819). She may have overstated her age on her marriage, even by several years. She gave no parents for the Certificate.
My purpose in posting is to try and find a baptismal record for Leah. Martha Bright has two children baptised at Ramsbury, in Jan 1830 and Jan 1832, in her own maiden name. She married in Feb 1832 and moved with her husband to Wantage, near Ardington. She herself was also baptised at Ramsbury. The previous posting to you gives two baptismal possibilities, under different surnames, at Ramsbury.
