Elisabeth Bush m John Walesby 1791 Stanford Rivers but where was she born?

Hi.
I’ve been looking up this family for someone who posted on here, but have come to a dead end with the above lady and a few others.

I’ll post a link to the original thread:

https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=830004.18

but have posted this separately, as about half way down (page 3, fourth post) things changed tack as we realised we had the wrong person to begin with.

So ... some dead ends:

Elisabeth Bush m John Whalesby 1791 Stanford rivers, but where and when was she born?

Thomas Benton m Mary Nickolls in Fyfield 1736, but where was he born? (I have Mary born 1714 Shelley).

Also, Thomas Wilson marries Elisabeth bofford (writing difficult to read) 21 Aug 1814 Lambourne. Can anyone confirm that it’s Bofford and can anyone find her birth?

Many thanks.

St Mary and All Saints Lambourne

Thomas Willson married Ann Lake 4 August 1814, witness Charlotte Willson and James Wakeling
All signed their names.

Ref: ERO parish Registers

[amondg]

Thomas Benton of Shelley married Mary Nickolls of Fyfield 30 November 1736 by banns

So he was of Shelley when he married.
Ref: ERO parish register.

ADDED the church is St Nicholas

Notes The name Benton does not appear in the Shelley registers until 1745.

Hi Amongd

Thanks for all your looking. They remain hidden somewhere still ... 🤦🏻‍♀️

Unfortunately the Thomas who marries Ann lake is another one as he is having children there before and after mine with his wife Ann.

I had Thomas benton’s marriage but can’t find his birth. Didn’t these people realise they needed better records as we’d all be looking for them hundreds of years later 🤣

Thanks anyway

Best wishes
