Elizabeth Oschard of Clayden?
« on: Saturday 03 April 21 17:05 BST (UK) »
Hello there

I've hit a marriage which I have found on FindMyPast from the Essex Marriages and Banns collection.

William Wright to Elizabeth Oschard 13 May 1760 at Great Chesterford.  He of Great Chesterford and she of Clayden according to the transcript I'm viewing.

Firstly her surname is very unusual and I am wondering if it is a mistranscription, but also I can't find a Clayden in Essex or Cambridgeshire. 

Does anyone have access to the original record to comment on the transcription and offer an alternative surname, and does anyone have an idea of where Clayden might be?

Thank you

Sorry -- I don't know where Clayden is -- there is a 'Claydon' in Buckinghamshire. However I am not familiar with Essex and someone with more local knowledge may know.

It's not listed as an Essex parish on Genuki.
