Hi folks

I have the above lady born Dorset in 1743, married a James Stickland in Wareham
aged 17, her death is registered as 1764 in Wareham.

I would appreciate any help in finding her parents if at all possible.

Many thanks

Tom

Last month Ancestry UK updated their All Dorset, England, Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812 so I suggest you start there if you haven't already.

If she died at 21 there's a good chance it was in childbirth, so you may want to check the births and baptisms around the time of her death too.

Thanks so much, I did not consider the childbirth angle.

And yes I will look again the Dorset BMBs

Regards

Hi Gins

Thank you for taking the time look at my post, no I'm not to sure of the DOB
I had seen the entry for Betty and wondered !!
I found that on the public trees on ancestry, so I thought I would check it out
but , then I thought I would ask you all to look at it and see what you folks think.

Safc

Thank you also for looking and for the info you have given me.

Thanks to you both

Tom
