William Vickress, born mid-1700's Hope-under-Dinmore
« on: Wednesday 04 May 16 23:15 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to find a possible link between my ancestor William Vickress and a couple in Herefordshire who married in 1755.

William Vickress (alternate spellings are listed on my blog - see link on my profile) I know married in Wellington in 1784. A side note on the marriage certificate says he was from Hope-under-Dinmore, which is where is children were later born.

I would imagine William was born some 20/30 years before his marriage (to put it very broadly), therefore possibly placing his parents' marriage around the same time. There is a couple married in 1755 in nearby Bodenham called Thomas Vickress and Mary Harris (Thomas later remarries in 1761 to Susannah Cox). I think William may have been born during the first marriage.

I live outside the UK so cannot access the Hereford Records Office - could anyone going there anytime (soon or otherwise) check the baptism records for a William Vickress in Hope-under-Dinmore or alternatively Bodenham?

Thanks to whoever is reading!

a bit of a dilemma for you - but it is possible that William was the son of William and Anne ?
