Elizabeth Baldwin née Preece (General)

by Paul Evans, (6 days ago)

My wife's great x4 grandmother Elizabeth Preece (about 1790-1876) married Cornelius Baldwin (about 1790-1865) in Flaxley in 1816. Elizabeth was born in Abenhall, but I can't find anything else definite about her before the marriage, not even her father's name. There are quite a few trees on Ancestry that suggest that her parents were Edward and Elizabeth, and that she was born on 17th April 1792, but they don't show any evidence of these details.
Does anyone know anything about Elizabeth's early life or her parentage?
She was buried at Holy Trinity. Is there any chance that there could be a surviving headstone that might show her date of birth?

Not my family.... Elizabeth had consent to marry therefore probably under 21 I would suspect that her parents married at Abenhall , there is no proof that these are her parents?
1779 Groom: Thomas PREES Bride Mary Nelme
Both the Groom and the Bride's Residence: Flaxley
There is a baptism for Betty Preece daughter of Thomas and Mary at Abenhall 1794

Thank you, that looks like a very likely solution. Here's hoping I can find more evidence to back it up.
