Maria Parr (b. abt 1792, Crediton - d. 1880, near Crediton)

I'm trying to look for a baptismal record for Maria Parr, who married John Smith, a carpenter and undertaker, on 17th April 1814 in Crediton. The only baptismal record I could find for a "Maria Parr" within the years of 1790-1800 is Maria Codrington Parr, the daughter of Dr. Bartholomew Parr FRS; however, she was baptised in 1797 at St. Stephen's, Exeter, whereas Maria Smith (née Parr) is recorded as being born in "abt 1792, Crediton" on the censuses and her death record.

It is unlikely that Maria Codrington Parr is the correct candidate but I cannot find another suitable candidate in the area within that country and time period on familysearch.org or ancestry.co.uk. Is there another repository that I, or somebody else, should look into?

Hi,

Maria Parr  bap.  20th  Nov. 1808  Crediton, Devon, England.  Mother  Sarah Parr.

She may not have been a baby at her baptism.

There was no date of birth.

Thank you very much. I'll check it out. If she wasn't baptised as a baby, could that mean she was born into a different denomination or faith?
