Thought I would try to post this query again as I have had no luck in my search.
I am looking for the baptism of Jane Cowles c1756. Jane married Thomas Bennett weston under penyard in 1779. Witnesses were T Merrick + Abiah Hill.
There are no baptisms for a Jane Cowles c1756 on the parish records of this site.
I know she was born 1756 as she died in 1822 and I have her mourning brooch with her age on it. She was buried with Thomas at Mitcheldean church.
On IGI there are two possibilities - both in Pencoyd.....1758 to parents Thomas and Jane OR 1759 to parents William and Elizabeth
Can anyone help.....someone may link her with the witnesses!

Thomas BENNETT and Jane COWLES were married by Licence.
Although this website has the Gloucestershire Marriage Allegations Licences and Marriage Bonds transcribed - the above marriage isn't included.
Hereford Diocese Marriage Bonds & Allegations 1661-1982 are held at the Hereford Record Office.
