- Christened: 26 May 1695, North Bradley, Wiltshire
- Marriage: Edward Wingrove on 2 Sep 1716
 General Notes:
EXPLANATION OF RESEARCH - carried out by Jean (another Harper descendant) in Australia
Before about 1800, father's names of bride and groom were not shown on the marriage register. In addition to this, the mother's name was not often listed at the time of a child's baptism.
Using Bishops Transcripts (BTs) for North Bradley and the surrounding area it is thought that the line of ancestry has been found. However, BTs are vague and often difficult to read. The persons listed existed, but if there was more than one person with the same name living in North Bradley at the time it would be impossible to know which child belonged to which.
DATE OF BIRTH
The parish record shows that Mary was born 'about St Katherine's Day before (15th Nov 1694)
Mary married Edward Wingrove on 2 Sep 1716.
