I'm looking for the baptism (and parentage) of my 3 x great grandmother Martha Randall.
A distant cousin of mine (and a contact of another cousin) did some family history research whilst over in England and came to the conclusion that she was born in London. Unfortunately, I never got any reply to my queries as to where she got that information.
The only information I've got is her marriage record and the names of her children (she died in 1830, before the first census). I've already looked for her on the Docklands Ancestors website and come up empty. I have found one entry on the IGI that could be her (daughter of William and Ann) but without more evidence I'm not willing to accept it as yet.
Below is the transcription of the marriage, kindly looked up for me by someone on another website. I'm posting it the same way it was given to me:
Marriage Reg: William Tickle and Martha Randall both of this parish
were married in this church by Banns
this 16th day of March in the year 1811 by me Edw Wilkins
This marriage was solumnized between us
William Tickle Martha Randall (both signed their names)
in the presence of John Bayley Sakery (signed)
M Stanley (signed but he's the parish professional witness, his name is all over the register)
I haven't been able to find any trace of a John Bayley Sakery: nothing on freereg, the IGI, or any of the censuses.
As for her children, a few non-Tickle names do show up which may be clues: Henry (their second son), Hannah (their second daughter), and (maybe) Anne (their eldest daughter): this does show up in the early Tickle generations but hadn't appeared in a while.
The family moved to Birmingham (William's native place) a few years after the marriage.
Any help would be appreciated.
