Bayes family from Willingham by Stow

[alan.h]

I have traced my family back to Mary Bayes, who seems to have migrated south from Lincolnshire to work 'in service' in London. Her father was William Bayes who (from an IGI record) looks to have been christened in Willingham by Stow in 1785. I think that his wife (and therefore Mary's mother) was Elizabeth - but I do not know her maiden surname. I believe that she is buried in St Helen's Church in Willingham. I have the date 28 May 1826, with her age as 37 - making her year of birth c1789.

Any info about this family would be very welcome.

Thank you,

Alan

Hi Alan

My marriage index has William BAYES to Elizabeth SPURR at Stow 1806 (sorry no date)

Unfortunately, no Liz SPURR to be found in baptisms

Thanks very much. That looks very promising and is something to start from!

Thanks again,

Alan
