Wondering if someone could please help with the birth/marriage of Mary Baker Nicholls. I believe she was born 27/08/1794 Sidmouth & her parents were William & Mary (nee Stone) Nicholls. If possible I would like to confirm these details of her birth.
Re her marriage - pretty sure she married James Pearce 19/12/1824 - could have been in Sidmouth but may have been Bath, Somerset. Again would like to confirm her parents & also James parents.
Mary Baker (Nicholls) Pearce died 3/1/1839 aged 44 at John St. Bath.
Many thanks in anticipation

Banns were called 5 Dec 1824 at Bath for Mary Baker Nicholls of Sidmouth Devon (spinster) and James Pearce (bachelor) of the parish St Peter & St Paul, Bath.
These confirm she was resident at Sidmouth at the time of the marriage, not necessarily born there.

Family Search records married Sidmouth, 30 December 1824.

Thank you for your PM mudgeemaid.
The banns date given could be the first or last date they were called but it ties in nicely with the Sidmouth marriage. It looks as though one of the couple could have been working away from home when they met.
