I wonder if anyone would be so kind as to do a baptism lookup for a Sophia or Sofhia CROWTER (or CROUTER) in Mar 1771 in St.James, Trowbridge.

Her parents may have been Edward CROWTER and Elizabeth LITTLE, who are believed to have married in St.James, Trowbridge on 8 Sep 1765 (IGI).

Thanks,
Geoff Browne

Hi Shelagh,

Very grateful for that excellent lookup.

Did you happen to notice if there were any more details of the earlier marriage - was it another marriage bond or a parish marriage record and was there an actual date ?

Thanks also for the baptism lookup. What a shame she isn't there. She was definately confirmed in Downton, south of Salisbury, but not christened there either. I wonder if the cathedral baptism records are online anywhere.

Thanks again for your help,
Geoff.

Hi

Sorry i had a look at baptism records that i have, and i should have said they don't cover all area's
The first marriage is a bond listed below, if the marriage took place it lists the Marriage Details at the bottom. i hope they help in some way
