Does anyone have access to the Princes Risborough parish records, and could do me a look up please?
I'm looking for a Catherine Ward.
Is there a baptism for her around 1695-1710 or
Is there a marriage of a Catherine to a Mr Ward around 1720-28?
I have her marriage to Thomas Allen in Upton Cum Chalvey in 1728 but have never been able to find a baptism for her (despite name searches). I've just found her burial in 1792 age 95, and, even allowing for ages at death being a bit 'out', I'm thinking she could easily have had a first marriage to a Mr Ward prior to 1728.
Fingers crossed!

Just looked through P Risb PRs and can't see any WARD at all, married or not. Plenty of WADE families though but didn't see one that might be your girl.
