    Question Looking for James Waters (1800 - 1880)

    Hi there,

    I am looking for my 4x great grandfather - James Waters. From what I have for him:

    Born - Between 7th April and 6th June 1800 (From Census ages and known census dates) in Pirton, Worcestershire (1851) and Pinvin, Worcestershire (1861, 1871) - I suspect Pinvin is the most likely place.
    He is married to Mariah/Maria Born in 1805 in either Wood Green, Worcestershire or Warndon, Worcestershire. I have a date for the wedding of 3rd December 1821 (though I can find no definitive marriage entry for them ( I can find a wedding between a James Walters and Maria Churchill on that date in Worcester, St Martins, but I cannot see the record, so cannot confirm it)

    James dies in 1880, he has lived in Whittington all his life, it seems and he dies here in October 1880.

    I cannot find his birth or baptism records, or his marriage details, so currently I am unable to work out who his parents were. I can find other Waters in Pinvin between 1671 and 1730, but, again, cannot link to this James Waters.

    Some of the information I have, the wedding, certainly, is from Ancestry member links, and when I have looked further, there are no citations or linked records for this wedding date.

    I would appreciate any light anyone could shed on this line.

    On familysearch.org there is this baptism. Pedmore is about 27 miles North of Pinvin. James and Maria did name one of their sons Samuel.

    The marriage is on familysearch.org but no parents named and quite possibly won't even be on the image - if you could access it.
