Robert and Esther marriage

[Shrop63]

Hi folks, i,m trying to find a marriage of John Ellis and Esther or Hester. I think their first child was born 1750 (Ellis) in the Llancylin/Llanfor area. Thanks

Your Subject header just says “John & Mary”. No surname  - but your post says John Ellis & Esther/Hester

Who is Mary?

Could you please include the details of the 1750 baptism.

I can see an Ellis Ellis baptised 23rd January 1750 in Llanycil with mother Esther, but his father was Robert, not John.

Hi

Just popped in to say that I have a couple of lines from this area and with similar dates*. I thought that I'd warn that there was quite a lot of flipping from the patronymic form  to surnames in the records at the time.

Sorry not up to doing look ups at the moment  but thought that I'd warn.

* and surnames - Ellis and Robert(s)

Quite a few trees have Robert Ellis and Esther, but no marriage, and only show one child, Morris, born in 1758.

The first two baptisms gave the abode as Pant-y-neuadd, which can be found on current maps, close to Parc.

Sorry guys my bad, Robert/Esthers marriage is what i,m looking for, forget John and Mary lol. I,m actually looking for a Maurice or Morris as one got married in Shropshire 1779 and theres no record of him being born in Shrop.
