Title: Richard Eley circa 1745 Dudley Worcestershire
Post by: Fitz1 on Thursday 12 May 22 07:37 BST (UK)
Hello,
I am trying to find a marriage for him. (He was baptised 2 Jul 1745 in Dudley Stafford (historically in Worcestershire).
Based on the 4 Children, I have so far found,  Sarah 1771, Elizabeth 1774, Joseph 1777 and William 1779 they were all baptised at St Thomas Dudley Worcestershire, the mothers name is Elizabeth.
I have been advised by someone else also researching that her maiden name MAY be Harrison.
To date I have not been able to find a marriage. 
(Surname has also been spelt Ealey and Ely).
Any assistance will be appreciated

Hi

May not be your man given the dates of the children's birth, but there is a marriage of a Richard Eley to a Mary Finch on 7 Nov 1787 at St Thomas, Dudley.

Could be a second marriage or maybe a son (if he was born earlier than the children you already have?)

Not much help I know....
