Hi Carole,

I have located a baptism and a burial that appear to tie in, but unable to locate any other information. I have searched Ancestry, FamilySearch and Find My Past but no luck.

Regards

Hi Graham,

I can only find the following baptism:

Peter [UNKNOWN] of James and Phyllis born Apr 13 1734, baptised Apr 25 in St Martin-In-The-Fields, London, Westminster, England.

Is this the Peter you were talking about?

Also, there is a marriage on 31 July 1760 between Peter Ames and Catherine Owen:

Peter Ames of the parish of Saint James Westminster, bachelor and Catherine Owen of this parish, spinster were married in this church [St George, Hanover Square].

Is this your Peter? His parish of Saint James Westminster and St Martin-in-the-Fields were next to each other but there is no way to confirm that the Peter born to James and Phyllis is in fact an Ames because they did not enter the surname for some strange reason.
Fidler - West Ilsley, Berkshire
Hamlin/Hamlyn - Long Sutton & Martock, Somerset
Head - Marlborough & Alton Priors, Wiltshire
Minson - Kingstone, Somerset/Symondsbury, Dorset
Owsley - Buckland St Mary, Somerset
Pyke - (West) Weeke/Wick, Pewsey, Wiltshire
Salisbury - Dowlish Wake/West Dowlish, Somerset

Hi,

The baptism you describe is the baptism I have found. I wasn't aware that surnames were omitted as you suggest in your post.

As for Peter's marriage, yes I have those details.

Many thanks for your assistance, I guess this is the point that is called the dreaded brick wall!

Regards
Graham
