JENNINGS Hanslope 1740s
« on: Thursday 21 April 22 09:18 BST (UK) »
my GGGM Mary JENNINGS married Isaac  GARRETT in Ridgmont in 1773 and died there in 1818. I can find no evidence of any baptism in Beds but a Mary JENNINGS was baptised in Hanslope in 1745 with no parents names.

Can anyone shed some light on the JENNINGS in Hanslope at that period?

Thanks

Had a look at the Hanslope History site, at https://www.mkheritage.org.uk/hdhs/family-history/

That tells me that Mary Jennings is actually Mary Jennings Cox, daughter of Joseph & Ann Cox. Joseph and Ann were married in 1723, and Ann was Ann Jennings. There are several entries in nearby dates for the children of Joseph & Ann Cox.

Sorry, doesn't look like yours!

Thanks Colin

Not sure how I've not spotted those beds baptisms unless I'd restricted the date too much on the search

Given the name of Mary's children, her parents being William & Mary look a possibility.
