Hi, I am looking for the parents of a Mary Bright (sometimes spelled Briget) born in 1819, it may have been in London. She married Stephen Adams (born 1817 in Bitton). I am sure her father was William Bright, and her mothers christian name may have been Mary. She lived her whole married life in Bitton. I am not confident on her father's name so any suggestions welcome
Regards,
Seb

If she married after July 1837, buy the cert. It will tell you her father's details, assuming she knew them

Bitton is where?

EVERY census I've looked at records her birth as BITTON

Hi all, thanks for the comments. My apologies Bitton is in Gloucestershire. Thank you Rambling Rose, I have used that website for the Palmers (my mothers side) and it was extremely helpful. I think I had Mary Bright down as Bitton to begin with, but I could not seem to find any birth records for her. I have her on all the census records, but nothing before 1841, except her rough birth date
