William Butt of Dursley

[Craig1985taylor]

Hi I'm wondering if anyone can help me in the right direction as I seem to have hit a brick wall. I've managed to trace my family back to a marriage between William Butt & Elizabeth Eastmead. The document states

William Butt of this parish (Dursley) bachelor & Elizabeth Eastmead of same parish spinster were married in this church by banns this fifteenth day of September in the year one thousand seven hundred & ninety one. By me Rich  Lockley assistant. This marriage was solemnised between us Wm Butt & X the mark of Elizabeth Eastmead. In the presence of X the mark Rewben Gwinell  & Benj Hill.

Is there anyway to work out when William Butt was born & where? & who his parents are? I only have access to Ancestry & my searches aren't getting me anywhere.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you I hadn't spotted that before was to focused on looking for a baptism for William didn't think to look for a marriage for his parents. So is there a good chance this would be his parents?

Hi Craig,

Hope that helps? Couldn't find anything on Elizabeth.
