Hi
Can anyone help me with locating the parents of Edward Darbishire and Mary Summerfield?
They were married on 21st April 1664 in Wem, Shropshire.
Also can you help with the parents of Johaness Latewood and Maria Payne who were married on 23rd February 1687 at Pulverbatch, Shropshire.
Many thanks
Eric
I see the date of the marriage as 21st April 1674 Eric. Not 1664.
There's a Marie Somerfield baptised 18.2.1640 at High Ercall of Robert and Elizabeth on familysearch. About 10 miles to Wem.
Might be a bit old by 1674.
How many children did they have? And what were their names? It might help to track down their parent's names.
There are some Darbyshire bapisms at High Ercall too. No Edward, but that's not to say his might be missing of course.
He might have come from somewhere else of course. Nothing showing up for him.
There are no Darbyshire (+variations), or Summerfield (+variations) names showing up in Wem prior to their marriage, so it does look as if they were not from there.
I see from an earlier post of yours some 5 years ago, you had tracked down some wills at Lichfield Record Office of later generations and actually went to visit to look at them.
These are now viewable on findmypast. (and also no longer at Lichfield Record Office which is now closed. They have been moved to Stafford Record Office).
Not a lot of Latewoods to choose from.
There's one for a William Latewood of Boystone for 1689. About 30 miles from Wem so not impossible they live that far away. He has a brother John, but unfortunately doesn't say where he lives. Latewood is an unusual name. John is not!
You will have realised that the further back you go, the more difficult it is to find records for many reasons.
good luck!
