I'm looking for the parents of Patience Ward b. abt 1811, possibly in Middleton.  She is named as a granddaughter in the Will of Samuel Ward in Theberton 1815.  She is not in Theberton or Leiston parish records where other Ward family are located (I have copies of those records).  Possible parent is Samuel Ward Jr. or John Ward.  Samuel Jr. dies in 1810 which could be the reason his possible daughter is named in her grandfather's Will.  Possible marriage for Patience is to William Canler in Ufford 5 May 1833, a contiguous parish to Melton where we also have Ward family settled.  This Patience and husband William are in Elmswell on the 1851 census stating birth in Middleton with an age for birth in 1811.  Is this a match?

Can anyone confirm a birth for Patience Ward and parents, likely in Middleton around this time period.

While we are in Middleton can anyone locate the marriage of Samuel Ward (Jr) and Mary Godward, banns posted 19 Nov 1809 in Theberton with Samuel a single man of this parish and Mary Godward, single women of the parish of Middleton.  No actually marriage record in the Theberton records.  Did the marriage take place in Middleton?

Thank you.

Thanks everyone for your clues and insight.  I suspected that since no parents were listed on the marriage record that either the priest was not being detailed or that neither of them actually knew parents and that their residence at this time is not their origin.
William was described on the Civil War Pension file as a Mason.
I can't find a confirmed immigration record and only a possible barely readable 1850 US Census listing in New York.  The Pension File indicates they immigrated about 3 years after the marriage.  They settle in Pennsylvania.  There is no record of any children before they settle in Pennsylvania.  First known child is born in 1851.  Did they really not have any children for 6 years.  Umm...  Children names are John, Elizabeth, Isabella, James Oliver and the last George McClellan named after the Civil War general under whom William served.  The children were christened in an Episcopalian Church.  There are numerous Nesbitts within the Pennsylvania area so I have to wonder if they have relations there or merely coincidence as nationalities tended to group together.

Thanks, Pennines - it's a start.  I was wondering about the history of Hoghton's beginnings.  Her birth date comes from the date she provided when she joined the Mormons in 1837.  Her census record age aligns OK with 1777, and she's consistent with Hoghton as the place.  But as we know from dates in this time period it can be tweaked.  She married a man born in Leyland who's last sibling appears in Longton and where all of Jane's children are born.  But neither the Leyland nor Longton records have Jane Blackhurst.  There is some hesitation that the Jane that marries James Sumner is actually Jane Blackhurst.  Several other surnames have popped in the family records but either I have disproved them or cannot prove their existence.  The marriage in Penwortham of James Sumner and Jane Blackhurst is the only one that seems reasonable and has been on the family records for some time so for now, pursuing Jane Blackhurst.

I'm looking for a baptism record of Eliza (Elizabeth) Patterson.  She is born about 1823.  Her marriage record in 1845 is age 23 (=1822),  my next confirmed record on her is the 1860 US Census age 36 (=1824).  Her marriage record to William Nesbitt in Kiltagan 10 Nov 1845 in Kiltegan lists her residence as Kilranelagh so this is a starting place.  Parents are simply "unknown" for both.  She is Eliza on her marriage record but her Civil War Pension File names her as Elizabeth but signed as Eliza.  Can anyone give me a clue where to look for her?
