Phillis Bly / Blythe / Duffield b about 1772

[Daonnachd]

Hello Everyone,

Phillis (various spellings) married name Ward, is recorded in the 1851 census for Pockthorpe in Norfolk as born in Salisbury Wiltshire around 1772. Her death record also says she was born in 1772, so I think this is reasonably accurate.

I have a record of John Ward marrying Phillis Bly or Blyth, 1790 in Pockthorpe. The 1851 census states she was born in Salisbury Wiltshire, but I can't find any record of her. I have checked birth records in Norfolk in case this was a mistake, and there are 2 Phillis Blythe/Bly's, one born in Beeston Regis, and the other in Marsham.

From what I can tell though, one died in 1795 and the other married a William Bishop in 1799.

To make things more complicated, the death record of one of her children states her maiden name as Duffield!

I'd be grateful if anyone could find out if there was a Phillis Bly / Bligh / Blithe or Duffield born in Wiltshire around 1772.

Thanks so much.
