Title: Baptism and Marriage of Margaret Purchase
Post by: avidt on Sunday 21 January 18 18:08 GMT (UK)

Hi

There is a wedding noted in one of marriage indexes that Johannes /John Smith married Margaret Purchase in Dullingham in 1684 and I cannot find it. I am also looking for a baptism for this lady around 1661 I suspect that the surname may be spelt differently but I have reied a number  of connection without success.

Many thanks

David
