Robert Woodward 1768 Batheaston Somerset

[Kiaya]

HI, I am looking for information about a Robert Woodward born 1768 in Batheaston Somerset.  He died in 1829 and was buried there.  He married Hester (surname unknown) who was also from Batheasten born around 1770, she died and was buried in Batheaston 9 November 1845.
I am trying to find a marriage record for them.  Can anyone help?
Many thanks, Kiaya

Hello Kiaya,

I have had a look on Find my Past an excellent resource for what your after but drew a blank with search on two specific Parishes, Batheaston and Batheaston St Catherine. Unfortunately not knowing Hester/Ester's last name it may prove a bit difficult and I am no expert on Somerset.

You could give it a try with possibly a wildcard search.
