Missing baptism/marriage George NEWELL/NEWILL Wrestlingworth

[janan]

Hi
I have a string of George NEWELLs  who were Wrestlingworth blacksmiths but one of them is causing me a problem. This is what I have

Baptisms in Wrestlingworth for children of George and Mary NEWELL/NEWIL(L)
Ann 1743
Elizabeth 1746
George 1748
Lucy 1751
Jane 1753
John 1757
Letitia 1761

Burials in Wrestlingworth
Mary wife of Geo NEWILL Blacksmith Jan 15 1769
Geo NEWILL Blacksmith June 3 1770

I think he was son of George NEWELL blacksmith buried Wrestlingworth April 23 1731 and Ann nee REYNOLD buried Dec 17 1741 - George and Ann married in Potton  13 Aug 1713, but I can't see a baptism for a George for this couple in Potton or Wrestlingworth. No sign of him as REYNOLD in Potton either. Neither can I find a suitable marriage for George NEWELL to a Mary in the right time frame. Anyone spot a baptism or marriage for George please?

Thanks in anticipation

Jan,

I could not find the baptism of George or the marriage George to Mary in Wrestlingworth or Potton.

George & Ann Newell, blacksmith had 7 children baptised Wrestingworth, from 1714 - 1728. The last two Thomas & John were buried in the same year as baptism. 

Plus did find a burial of Reynolds, daughter of George & Ann Newell, blacksmith on 14 June 1726, but again no baptism for her.

Regards John

Thanks John
Reynolds does nicely confirm the George Newell to Ann Reynold marriage as the correct one and as she doesn't appear to have been baptised then maybe George junior wasn't either. As for the George to Mary marriage may have to try Cambs.
