Hi Crankyx
Do you happen to know if she lived all her life in Chippenham or did she move?   No problem to look up records if the Parish is known.
Cheers Dave

Thanks for the response Davier,

Since I posted the request I have discovered that the Jane Townsend in question may not be the relative I was hoping for.

Jane Townsend, I thought , married a Thomas Ellard in Willoughby Warwickshire who was a Grocer but I think she married an Ellard who was a Farmer. I think he could be a distant relative but not the one I was actually searching for.

It would appear that my Thomas was not married to Jane Townsend, or at least I don't think so.
If you manage to find any information to the contrary I would be pleased to hear it.
My Thomas was married initially to a Catherine Croft who died in childbirth, I think in about 1809/1811.

Regards

Hi Dave
If your man was from Warwickshire and had no connection with Wiltshire, I'm afraid I'm unable to help.   Let me know if there's any Wiltshire connections and I'll be pleased to help.
Cheers Dave
