Esther BAYLIS b 1798 Ledbury (General)

I am researching Esther Baylis b 1798 Ledbury
married Robert Skeates 1825 Bristol

parents of Esther are William Baylis and Mary Barnett married 1786 Ledbury

Mary possibly the daughter of Joseph Barnett and Nancy Smith married 1786 Ledbury

Mary Barnett Baylis named her first son Edward Smith Baylis 1787 Ledbury died 1826 Ledbury and had a brother Edward Smith Barnett in 1762 died 1780 from consumption

The Skeates family were quite well off but had businesses, so am looking for
connections that might have had similar ways of life, not ag labs etc.

There is a Nancy Barnett died 1793 Ledbury age 37 ..if this was 57 it could possibly
be the mother of Mary. I was given the date of death of Joseph Barnett as 1797 in Bristol, but there is a Joseph Barnett died 1797 in Ledbury age 72.

This would give him a birth year of c 1728 and the possible parents of Thomas Barnett
and Mary Lewes.

Cannot find a Nancy Smith born around 1735 -1740, with possible an Edward Smith as father or brother ?

Esther Bayliss had some brothers and sister who I have not been able to identify.

No marriage found for Edward Smith Baylis
also sisters
Lucy 1788
Elizabeth Barnett 1795
Mary 1802
and brothers
William 1790
Joseph 1791
Thomas 1793 possible marriage to Sarah Hill 1825 Ledbury lived Brook Farm/House Colwall.

Any suggestions or help or connections would be wonderful and greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Susan
