Mary Baker Nicholls - Sidmouth

[mudgeemaid]

Hello RootsChat
After some help again from you good people.
Looking for the birth/baptism of Mary Baker Nicholls.
On her marriage bonds it states "Mary Baker Nicholls, Sidmouth" She married James Pearce 19/12/1824 in Bath, Somerset.
Always possible she just came from Sidmouth & wasn't born there, but worth a try. Also possible that the "Baker" in her name could be her mothers maiden name.
Appreciate your help & thanks in anticipation.

At the moment I can't see a baptism for Mary but FindMyPast has a baptism of a Sarah Baker Nicholls on 16 July 1809 in Sidmouth with parents William and Mary Nicholls.   

Other children baptised in Sidmouth with parents William and Mary Nicholls include Eliza 1796, Jane 1898, Eleanor 1800, Richard 1802, Caroline 1804, Louisa 1806, Philip 1807 and Jane Sophia 1812

Also a marriage of a William Nicholls to a Mary Stone at Sidmouth  on 25 Aug 1791

Added - Some trees on Ancestry also list Mary as  a child of the couple plus a first child William Nicholls b 1792 Sidmouth who appears to be living in Bath by 1871 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VFJ1-VFL
