Ann FRAY
« on: Tuesday 03 April 07 11:56 BST (UK) »

Would anybody be able to provide me with a lookup for Ann Fray born 1752, Salisbury, married James Tapper 24 Dec 1785.

I am trying to find anything that will give the name of her parents. Also The igi states that her birth and marriage were at Salisbury Cathedral. Was this common?

Thanks in advance,

All the best

scott

Hi Scott,

I can confirm that your marriage took place in the cathedral on that date.   One other piece of information is that James Tapper, at the time, was from the parish of Stratford Sub-Castle.

It is not obvious why the member who submitted the record thought that Ann was born in 1752.    Presumably the member assumed that because she was married in Salisbury she must have been born in Salisbury.   This may be correct but it is unadulterated guesswork.

Best wishes

Thank you very much for your reply.  Do you believe it possible then that Ann was not born in Salisbury. Will have to try and find some more out.

Also was the criteria for marriage at a cathedral the same as it is today??

Thanks again

All the best

Hi Scott

Until you see an entry in a parish register of one of the Salisbury churches for Ann Fray, you cannot know that she was born in Salisbury.   It is certain that the member who posted the entry for Salisbury had not seen it in a parish register, otherwise they would have posted the exact date.

The only village, from data available in the IGI, wherein the Fray name occurs is Tisbury which is about 10 mile from Salisbury.   My guess is that your Anne was baptized 20th May 1752 in Tisbury and was the illegitimate daughter of Mary Fray.   Although most of the information for the Frays in Tisbury is from a church member, all the indications are that it has been transcribed from the parish register.

The parish register is available on film from LDS Family History Centres.   It is possible, although unlikely, that the register will indicate who Ann's father was.

Good luck

Again thank you for your reply.

I agree the Anne Fray you have stated seems very possible. Will try to search for a bit more information but it seems likely to be her.

All the best,
