Birth/baptism of Elizabeth BALLARD abt 1678 onwards
« on: Monday 02 April 18 08:51 BST (UK) »
Slim pickings unfortunately and it will be a minor miracle to locate Elizabeth's baptism or even William's baptism as I have no more to go on other than this minuscule bit of information.

Elizabeth BALLARD & William SHELTON married at Whetstone, Leicestershire 18 Apr 1703. 

The marriage record makes no mention of Elizabeth or Williams location at marriage.

That is the sum total of what I know of William and Elizabeth before their marriage.

Fingers crossed that someone with better research skills than my poor efforts will be able to assist.

Do you think there is another possible baptism for William in a shire that perhaps borders on Leicestershire?

BUT Elizabeth Ballard married William SHENTON in 1703  :o

Only possibility shown is:

Cosby - 10 August 1651 - son of Thomas and Anne

I had seen that and thought perhaps it was incorrectly spelled as I have seen a few variations to the surname. 

What do you think??

The marriage entry is very clear as Shenton.

Ok.  Then it seems I need to go back to the drawing board.

My starting point was Robert SHELTON son of William SHELTON and Elizabeth.  Baptised 20 Apr 1712 Wycomb & Chadwell.

Its the marriage of Roberts parents I am seeking.  Any ideas???

Yes, I can see the baptism - and William has died, prior to birth/baptism. 

William buried 4 August 1711 and he is a butcher.

Other baptisms at Wycombe and Chadwell to William and Elizabeth Shelton:

Francis - 10 April 1706
John - 8 August 1708
Elizabeth - 1 October 1710

Could this be the marriage for William and Elizabeth - transcription only from FS via FindMyPast

Radford, Nottinghamshire - 1705 - no date - William Shelton and Elizabeth Collishaw
