Hi Abiam

I moved to Cambridge fairly recently (from the Hants, Berks, and Surrey borders) and have no great local knowledge or parish records. Sorry to disappoint.

All the best

What a shame!  Are you after names in Berks?  Mine are in Hungerford and Maidenhead and then back into Wiltshire.

Good luck to you too!

Hi Abiam,
I'm pretty sure that the bride's name is Ann Wornem. There are so many way's that this name was spelt that there are a number of websites dedicated to the Wernham/Wornam/Wornem name.  Berkshire seems to have one of the highest numbers of "Wernham" families.

Good luck with your hunt.
