Joseph Smith born c 1786 Shrewton, Wilts

[barnesyard]

I am trying to find the baptism of Joseph Smith born c 1786 - 1861 and 1871 census birthplace given as Shrewston, however 1851 it is given as Maddington.   Shrewton and Maddington appear not to be on the IGI.   Would anyone be able to help please?   Children's names in order - Thomas, Elizabeth, John, Joseph (twins), Emily, William, Jane, Mary, Susanna, Anne, David, - his wife was sarah Wearte - her father was Thomas, mother Elizabeth.


Thank you in anticipation!

Thanks Cheryl for that - I found Joseph and Sarah in Tarrant Hinton, Dorset in 1841 - and yes - typo!   she was Weare.   They were married in Pentride, which is where Sarah was born.   William could well be a brother of Joseph.   Every bit helps!
