Hi Nell
Thank you for your reply. Yes I am aware that just because a person is married in a parish does not mean he was born there. In a lot of cases it’s the wives parish they marry in although not in this case. As I have not found much on Longbridge online I wondered if they had not been transcribed and I might be missing his baptism. Now you have said he is not there I can look further afield.
Williams children were baptised in Longbridge but both he and his wife were buried in her parish of Horningsham.
Thank you for taking the trouble to look for me and as I said I can now look elsewhere. I am grateful for the information
Regards Chris
