Elizabeth Amor

Can someone help me trace the parents of Elizabeth Ammer who was married in Trowbridge in 1742 so I'm assuming she was born around 1724 or so I'm trying to trace this line

Hi
1724 seems a tiny bit early.
FamilySearch has three baptisms of an Elizabeth Am*r

19/9/1723 in Laverstock  (to John and Mary)  presumably died, see below
10/6/1715 in Pewsey (William and Ruth)
8/12/1725 in Laverstock (John and Mary) probably too young to marry in 1742

Elizabeth Aamer married Benjamin Smith.

There is a possibly relevant will of John Amer, late of Lower Studley in the parish of Trowbridge, yeoman, proved 7 Oct 1777 (Wiltshire, England, Wills and Probate, 1530-1858, on ancestry)
Names include
Loving wife, but not sure that he gives her name
Son Robert Amer
Son in law Benjamin Smith
Daughter Grace, wife of Reuben Stokes
Son in law William Francis (executor)
Son Joseph Amer (executor)
Daughter Sarah, wife of John Carrington
Various grandchildren, including grandson Benjamin Smith.

Another possibility?
Baptism at Semington, 19 July 1719
Betty, ye daughter of John Amar and Elisebeth his wife.

Struggling with a baptism for Grace.
Was she married twice?
Grace Amer married Richard Harford, 2 June 1745, Trowbridge.
Grace Harford married Reuben Stokes, 13 Oct 1748, Trowbridge.

Thanks for all the help with Elizabeth Amer - the Will should be in the National archives?
I think this is my Elizabeth as her husband was Benjamin Smith a very common name Smith and Lower Studley sounds right it's near Trowbridge also interesting to see a daughter married into the Stokes family which I can trace to Trowbridge
