William Stocker, born c. 1744

[MacGrigor]

Hello,

William married Elizabeth Dodson in Swavesey in 1771. He was buried in Swavesey in Swavesey in 1798. An estimated birth date of around 1744 is given. Can anyone locate a baptism?

Thanks,

Adam

Marriage Banns have him as William STOCKWOOD

WM Stockwood Bapt 13 May 1746, St Andrew, Swavesey to PHILIP/ELIZ
(so not necessarily born 13 May)

Both on FreeREG

Trish

EDIT they have a earlier Wm Bapt 19 Jan 1744/45, buried 24 Jan 1744/45

So did the surname change from Stockwood to Stocker?

Marriage 06 Jan 1740/1 Swavesey for Philip Stockwood

FreeREG has Baptisms for William/Elizabeth also under Stocker

But one is under Stockwood;
PHILIP Stockwood 09 Feb 1777 to William/Elizth

Looks like it could be either?

Thanks!

WILLIAM 30 Aug 1778

Big gap there maybe children Bapt elsewhere.
