Hello,
Grace married Edward Gray in Longbridge Deverill in September 1746 and was recorded as being of Monkton Deverill. Her age at death gives a birth year of around 1725 but of course this may be a bit off. Can anyone find a christening for her?
Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam
When I was doing my husband's tree, I seem to remember that there were a large number of non-conformists in that area.
I've had a look for Grace but so far I've not found her in either parish records or non-c.
My Deverill booklets are packed away and I'm not sure where so can only rely on online sources.
Maybe someone else might find her.

Thanks Gadget!

For what it's worth:
Thomas and Elizabeth Turner and William and Ann Turner were having children baptised in Monkton Deverill around then. Did she have any children with those names?
However, the marriage entry would refer to where the bride and groom were resident at the time of the marriage rather than where they were born. I've done a quick skim in neighbouring counties but so far I've not found anything that looks right.

Her children were named:
John (b. 1749)
Edward (b. 1751)
William (b. 1757)
James (b. 1758)

There was also a Grace b. 1760.
Have you got the name of Edward Gray's parents?
Added - those online trees don't look as if they've been sourced :-\

I haven’t looked at the online trees but no, I haven’t got any further back than Edward.
