elizabeth tucker birth about 1771
« on: Sunday 09 August 20 17:05 BST (UK) »
My 4th great grandmother Elizabeth Tucker married John Nicholls in Gulval parish 1796.  Census records show her as born in Washfield, Devon.  I am unable to find and parish records for the Washfield area.  Does anyone know what parish Washfield would have been in in 1771?  Or even better do you have Elizabeth in your tree and you have the info.
Thank
Gordon K Cotton

Washfield was a parish in its own right.
FindMyPast has many Devon registers. According to their own list, they only have Washfield baptisms  1554-1681 and 1812-1878 but searching for Elizabeth Tucker brings up Betty daughter of William Tucker baptised at Washfield 4 Jun 1770, with image. (And 24 results for all Devon within two years of 1771, it's a very common name.)
