Does anyone have access to the parish records for Peldon, Essex.
I am looking for maiden name of a Mary Bunn (born Peldon 1783 ish) She married Henry and so far I have found 3 children, William Henry 1811 (my g.g.g. grandfather) Henry and John. I've found them on 41 & 51c. (Mersea Road) I have also found William in North Wales (Wrexham) but his first 2 children were born in Limerick. Not sure if he was in the army. I have found a William Bunn in the army (55th foot reg) but it says he was born in Abberton (which I believe is about a mile or 2 from Peldon)
I had a look through a very reliable transcript of Peldon marriages (Essex RO ref: T/R 203/40) and found this one which seems to fit the bill: 1804 Oct 2 Bunn Henry m Sowell Mary Other mrriages involving Bun(n) in same parish were: 1769 Jan 11 Bun*Henry m Backwith Mary 1790 Feb 8 Pain William m Bunn Judah 1798 Feb 19 Thallow John m Bunn Hannah
* spelt Bunn in banns and place for signature
No Bun(n) marriages in transcript for Abberton (ef:T/R 203/12)
If you happen to be able to look at Peldon records again.... Is there anything about Mary Sowell being 'of this parish' or from elsewhere or 'daughter of' etc. Or even of other Sowells on record.
I think the Henry marrying Mary Backwith may be the 1st Henry's father marrying again as the dates dont quite fit.
