Cannot find a marriage, almost certainly in Ruardean or Walford for the date 1757-1759
between Richard Knight and a Mary ??
Any suggestions please ?
Have searched Ruardean church books from that time and Bishops Transcripts but no luck.
Have also searched surrounding parishes.
Fells like I've come to a full stop with this Mary !! Many thanks
