Parents James and Penelope Martin (all transcripts - not original)

Joseph, 20 Sep 1766, Ledbury, Hereford

There is a note against James on the 17 Feb 1774 marriage, St Michael Ledbury

The baptisms cover 3 counties, but the less than common given name "Penelope" is a link.

Is this the family?

But none of them are in Gloucestershire where this is posted.  Perhaps it needs moving to another board

That none referred to Gloucestershire was why I drew attention to "Penelope" as the reason for presenting them.

Penelope - 1777 poss bap 10.10.1777 - 30.1.1840 poss unmarried

baptism image is on Ancestry. James noted as Esq.  at Overbury, Worcestershire
Her will is on ancestry. 1840.
She is a spinster of Norton in the parish of Brendon.
Burial register says Norton House

Catherine, 6 July 1781, Worcestershire

Image in Overbury reg says she was born ‘At their house in Whitehall, Westminster” privately baptised there, certificate annexed at rear of book (haven’t found that yet) but thought proper to record baptism in the Overbury Register ‘being one place of their residence’.


Added..certificate is there. Godparents/witnesses are P.Skipp & Mary Martin

Further addition - James’ baptism is similar.  What I presume is his certificate is damaged. But witnesses are ….Blackwell & Richard Stone.

I notice "Overbury, Gloucestershire" appearing in some 18th Century publications.
