Susan White of Swineshead 1813

[hantsdp]

Hi

Can anyone help with a lookup for the baptism of Susan White about 1813? The 1851 census shows her, now Susan Wilkins, as being 38 and born in Swineshead. Her marriage entry to John Wilkins shows her father as being William White.

Thanks
David

Thanks Millipede
The entry for Susan Wight sounds about right. I know she had a sister Ann so wonder if there is an entry for about then for her with the same parents? I will have to wait for things to get normal to check the actual records (I live in Hampshire) but couldn't find any online access to Swineshead (Beds) records

Swineshead was initially in Bedfordshire, the parish register transcript up to 1812 is available online in this volume...   https://archive.org/details/bedfordshirepari07bedf/page/n5/mode/2up

There is a baptism of Ann, daughter of William & Mary Wight on 4th Oct 1812 (not in Pertenhall as the Family Search record says)

There is a marriage on 2nd July 1810 at Riseley of William White of Swineshead to Mary Taft.

Mary Taft was baptised at Riseley on 21st July 1793 aged 13 (so born 1780) daughter of Mary Taft -- so could be illegitimate? & thus we don't know if it was the mother or daughter that married William White.

However there is a burial of Mary Taft at Riseley on 11 June 1825 aged 85 - assume her to be the mother. Plus a burial of Mary White at Swineshead on 20 Mar 1826 age 45 (born 1781) - assume her to be the daughter
