Mary Dampney was christened at Motcombe in 1659 and married there in 1659 to John Foot and they moved to Lydlinch. I am looking for her parents and other relations. Very many help for any assisrance.

Mary Dampney was christened at Motcombe in 1659

What information does the christening give

[rosie99]

Just noticed that you have baptism and marriage dates the same.  If they married in 1659 then the baptism was probably c1640.  Church records often don't go this far back and looking at DorsetOPC baptisms for that parish appear to start 1675.  It could be the end of the road ....

Familysearch library catalogue does not appear to have anything earlier either

Are you certain of the years? 

I can see a marriage for a Mary Dampney and a John Foot on 21 April 1679 at Motcombe.

It looks like I gave incorrect info she was born in 1659 and married in 1679 both at Motcombe. Thanks

How do you know she was born in Motcombe in 1659?
Baptisms in Motcombe don't go back that far on Dorset OPC, but I would expect there to be evidence of other Dampneys in the village around that time, burials of parents for example, even if she had no siblings to marry in the village at around the same time as herself. But I see no other Dampneys or variants there.
