You need to go to the actual parish records (and from memory the bishops transcripts) at HALS
for the BULLEY family in Standon, missing from the IGI and Ancestry.
Prior to the Standon records (1613) see the parish records for Cottered, Aredely, Westmill, Layston and Thundridge (all Hertfordshire).
Prior to parish records 1538, I believe the family migrated into Hertfordshire from Bedfordshire.
If you find anything of interest, I'd appreciate a notification.
Anything you are struggling to find, post here and maybe I can help.
Pauline,
I knew I had a number of Martha BULLEY records in my tree, but unfortunately not with a confirmed 1801 birth/baptism/parents.
The surviving marriage licence document puts Joseph BULLEY/Phoebe HOLWOOD in the Brickendon parish at that time,
so it may be worth checking at HALS for a baptism in that register (not all HALS registers are fully transcribed online).
The marriage was at Hertford All Saints and St John, so it may also be worth checking that register for a baptism.
With the marriage being Sept 1801 (by Licence not Banns) it is possible Martha was born earlier in the year, which could go some way to explaining a lack of baptism record.
I concur with your theory of Martha being the daughter of Joseph/Phoebe, it is what I had in my tree as an unproven best guess link.
The most likely document that I think could prove it, would be the marriage certificate (Martha/George EVA) naming Martha's father.
I have scanned my pending documents but Unfortunately I don't have that myself and I've not found it online either despite extensive searching.
If I get an opportunity, I'll pop into HALS sometime and have a look at the Brickendon register and the Hertford All Saints register.
I'll add this to my research list and if I find anything I'll post it.
Sorry I can't be of more help than that.
