Henry Bird

[Shrop63]

Hi looking for a marriage around Wellington of Henry Bird and "Hannah" i think their first child was born 1800. Cant see a marriage anywhere. There is one to Rebecca Onions 1793 but nothing on Hannah. Cheers.

You say you "think" their first child was b 1800.  Where did you get that info from?

If they are the couple baptising children in Wombridge then you might be out of luck as the surviving Anglican marriage registers start in 1802.

In 1851 Hannah says she was born in Wombridge around 1778 and I was going to suggest that you try to work out from baptisms who she might be, however they are also missing from 1776 to 1787.

Not all trees are correct
Henry Bird  b 1777 in Wombridge - died 3rd March 1836 aged 59
wife Hannah Petty b 1778- 1859
they married in Clifton,Gloucestershire  16th december  1799 - no wonder you couldn't find it around Wombridge ..lol
they had 13 children - one set of twins

That couple were having children baptised in Gloucestershire at the same time as the Wombridge baptisms.

The same children  being baptised in Gloucester as in Wombridge ?  I wonder if they had different faiths ??-- ie - C of E / Methodist ??

[Dundee]

No, the couple who married in Clifton baptised their children at Clifton, the couple in Wombridge baptised their children there - two different families.

I am lost now ?
that tree states Henry born Wombridge and died Wombridge - but married in Clifton ,Gloucestershire - so the tree has mixed up 2 families
