Pratt of Berwick upon Tweed

[0191alex11]

Hi!
    Can anyone help with the following? I am trying to find marriages of the following people if anyone can help?!

William Pratt, wifes name Jane, had issue Matthew 1712 born Simonburn, Mary 1723 Bamburgh, John 1731 Berwick, Elias (Ellis) 1733 Berwick, Elizabeth 1735 Berwick, and also two sons Major and Joseph (cant find their baptisms as yet).

Ellis Pratt, wifes name Ann, Had issue Ellis 1666, Phyllis 1668, Ann 1671, Dorothy 1673, William 1675 and Margaret 1678 all baptised at Berwick upon Tweed.

Any help with the marriages of the above two people or any information on the Pratt family from Berwick much appreciated!

From www.freereg.org, might this be a possible for William?

Bamburgh St Aidan William Pratt of Warneden and Jane Patterson 23 Mar 1709/10 ( Notes: Double entered * beside John and * William added below. Abode may be bride, groom or both)

It seems there is the same entry for the bride with one record showing groom William, the other groom as John! On Mary's baptism in Bamburgh in 1723 it shows father's abode as Warenton?

It's actually Warenton but I wouldn't worry about the variation in spelling.  The Northumbrian accent has a lot to do with it!  Warenton is in the neighbouring parish of Lucker so it may be worth casting your net to include Lucker in your searches.

Hi,
I'm new to this site & wonder if anyone might have a record of William Gregson Pratt, b. 9 March 1822 in Berwick.  He's my 2nd great grandfather.  I'm also trying to find out about his father, John. 
Many thanks!
