Dorset / Bridget Crabb of Hawkchurch(?) (?-1787)
« on: Thursday 20 April 17 22:51 BST (UK) »
I've taken a great interest in my father's side of the family recently, and have been struggling with my 7th great grandmother, Bridget Crabb.
So far, I know that she married Richard Smith on 26th October 1731 in Hawkchurch. From this, I have assumed she is from Hawkchurch, as the record does not say otherwise, although one point to note is that Richard hails from Bradford Abbas (not to far away, but certainly a different parish), and this is not stated in the record. She had 3 children with Richard: William (my 6th great grandfather, 1733-1792), Mary (1736-sometime before 1739), and Mary (1739-?). All three children were baptised in Bradford Abbas, and she was buried in the parish in 1787.
I've been unable to trace her within the Hawkchurch and Bradford Abbas parish records aside from this, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, Sophie.
