Mary Harvey 1781 Acton Trussell
« on: Saturday 22 August 20 00:48 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I wondered if anyone might have access to the parish registers for Acton Trussell and if so whether you might be able to look up the baptism of my 5 x great grandmother please? Her name was Mary Harvey and I would really like to breakdown the brick wall and find her parents.
 
She married Richard Haywood 1804 in Stafford.

In 1841 she is living in Little Bridgeford, Seighford with her husband and daughters Catherine and Mira (and a 1 year old that I can't place called Tilsedale) - b1781
In 1851 she is still there, with her husband and grandchildren via their daughter Catherine, she says she was born in Acton Trussell 1781
In 1861 she is widowed and living with her son Thomas in Stafford, again b 1781 at Acton Trussell.

I have searched Ancestry, Find My Past and family search and in all cases it looks like baptisms were recorded from 1783 but perhaps they haven't yet transcribed the earlier ones.

Many thanks for reading this.

Best wishes,
Emma

Just in case you didn’t know, one of the witnesses to Mary and Richard’s marriage was “John Harvey”.

Hi,
Thank you very much for getting back to me. That is great, thank you, I wonder if it was her dad or maybe a brother? I will do some searches for father being John and see what comes up 😊
Thank you very much
