  • Devizes Wiltshire, research advice please

    Can anybody give me some tips on how best to proceed with my research?

    I have William Maundrill born C1780 in Timsbury Somerset marries Sarah (unknown but may be Cadbury) born C1783 in Devizes Wiltshire. Their first child was Mary Maundrill born 6 Oct 1807 in Timsbury Somerset.

    I already checked for the marriage in Timsbury Somerset – not found. I would like to check for the marriage in Devizes, hopefully this might give me Sarah’s surname.

    I intend visiting Devizes and Timsbury in the next couple of months, can anybody suggest where I can view the OPRs for each of these towns. Also any other information that would help me further my research of my ancestors.

    Thank You
    Tom

    You could have a look here:

    Not that much for Wiltshire is available online, in my experience....:(

    Good Luck!

      A thought - if William was born Timsbury and first child born there, chances are he was living there at the time of his marriage, so you may find the banns book calling the banns in his home parish, which will list the bride's name and her parish too.

      Banns probably not online, but would be in relevant records office.
