GATES Family Rushden, Peterborough or thereabouts

[Alwynne]

 ???I have nearly driven myself bonkers looking for the baptism of Sarah Gates, who married Thomas Fletcher at Rushden in 1741.
She died in December 1801, at the age of 96, so was born about 1705.
I can't find her baptism in Rushden nor in St John the Baptist, Peterborough, or in several parishes around Rushden.
If anyone knows of a cluster of Gates in this general area, I would be most grateful to know. Even better - if, by any chance, anyone comes across her, I shall jum ???p for joy.
With thanks,
Alwynne

Have you tried Earls Barton yet?
A couple of Mary Gates living there were married 1728 and 1730.
Mary Gates widow married John Beeby a baker  in EB 1728
Mary Gates of EB married Richard Barkee of EB 1730 in Wellingborough
And John Gates of Great Brickhill married Mary Barnes at EB in 1707
This might be the same Mary who married John Beeby.

No, I haven't, and thank you very much for that, as it's not a place I had heard of. I may get lucky this time!
Cheers,
