Extraparochial residence 1806 (General)

by geniemom, Monday, August 17, 2009, 01:25 (5652 days ago)

Just looking at the transcription (LIttledean) for my gggg grandparents marriage (1806) and noting that the brides residence states "extraparochial" and the groom was from Gloucester (St. Mary de Lode) they settled in Littledean in the 1810's-1840's. Should I presume that the bride was from Littledean? Or, is there some other location I might try, her surname was Williams and I know there are many in that area? Trying to still work my way back to find parents of said gggg grandparents.
Thanks
Cathy

Littledean was "probably" the closest parish church, Extra parocial means they lived in an area not attached to a parish church, best though of as the "forest" or East Dean/West Dean see parish maps in "Maps of the Forest" section..

Hi there.

According to my map of the Forest of Dean parishes, only East & West Dean were extra parochial. Littledean was a parish.

My ancestors from the Ex Par area baptised their children and married all over the place, so you have to look around for them. But they usually stayed within the Forest.
