Hello
Do any of my rootschat friends have access to Parish Registers for North Gloucestershire?
I believe my 3xgreat grandmother, Mary Ann Ingram, was born around 1790 in Todenham on the Gloucestershire/Warwickshire border and am looking to have that confirmed plus the names of her parents - I think her father was Joseph Ingram.
Thanks in Advance, your assistance is very much appreciated.

The Todenham records are on Ancestry, I have had a look from 1786 to 1792, no Mary Ann or any Ingram there. The nearest of two Mary’s in the County below.
Mary Ingram Baptism 26 Jun 1789 Snowshill, Glos Wm,Elizth
I also checked the parish records in Warwickshire no Mary or Mary Ann, and no father Joseph.
Below is the nearest to Todenham.

Did she marry Henry Lucas 1813?
If so it has she was of Shipston on Stour
(this may mean she was born there or resided there before marriage)

Thank you Colin, now you've mentioned Ancestry, its spurred me on to uprade my subscription and suddenly the door is wide open. High probability matches for Mary's parents and grand-parents suddenly appear at Wootton Wawen for further investigation. Thank you.
And thank you Trish.
Mary was indeed married to Henry Lucas and frustratingly died before the 1851 census and it's lovely place of birth data. Their first child William was born in Shipston but then his sister, my 2x great grandmother, was born slightly further south in Little Compton so they moved around a bit (Henry was an Agricultural Labourer) and Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and Warwickshire are all close to each other at that point of the map.
