Wilsted PR lookup please
« on: Wednesday 01 February 12 15:01 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone have access to Wilsted Baptism records circa 1670 - 1720. I am looking for the following who had children or were married in Wilsted

John Balls - first child 1697
Margaret Peak - married 1720
John Balls and Ann Abrahams - married 1747

Thanks

Virtually all Beds marriages and baptisms pre 1813 have been extracted onto the IGI at www.familysearch.org making Beds one of the easier counties to research online. To isolate a single parish and also cut extraneous entries by church members you can use http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountryEngland.htm#PageTitle (where Wilstead is shown under its old name of Wilshamstead)

Margaret Peake married William Ball on 17 Jul 1720
Ann Abrahams married John Balls in Sept 1747 (no date given, presumably missing from PR)
