Find Ancestors

Hello everyone
Just trying to fill in a gap in my tree, and need a quick look-up. I have an Ann Rolls, baptised Ann Roles 7 August 1842 in Piddletrenthide, Dorset, parents William and Doras, he was labourer. Later baptisms of siblings give William and Dorcas Rolls as parents. Ann married my ancestor George North, and I'm working on their family, but just for completeness I would like to find the dates of birth/baptism, marriage and death of William, and maiden name and date of birth/baptism of Dorcas. I have found Dorcas' burial record 2 January 1880 aged 74, All Saints Piddletrenthide.
Thanks for reading this, and grateful for any help
Mandy

On the 1851 they are next door to a Matthias Joyce. Looking on Family Search he may have had a sister Dorcas. Parents George and Mary??

Sorry-have to go out for a bit.

Have you tried the site for the OPC (online parish clerk) ?

Hello
Thanks for all this.
Joy, I looked on the OPC and found Ann Roles baptism and Dorcas' burial in Piddletrenthide, and have just seen the marriage which HeyJude mentions above in Piddlehinton, but can't find anything else. Death for William Rolls probably right (?). Just need dates of birth/baptisms now, although happy enough with the years (as inferred from ages at death), as these are not my direct relations.

Hi Vera
I think that these two records are right. I know from experience that we shouldn't assume anything, but they are both in the same parish, and the dates tie in with other records, ignoring the Census info which I have found to be often incorrect/variable, especially for year and place of birth.
Thanks
