Commentary
Dorothy’s parentage
Dorothy was married in 1729 in Burton Dassett. The most plausible baptism in indexes is in 1702 in Burton Dassett. The baptism entry records Dorothy’s parents as William and Anne Ledbrook.
Confirmation that this is the correct baptism is provided by the 1730 will of William Ledbrook of “Nordin” (Northend, in Burton Dassett), in which William makes his son-in-law Francis Yerrow his executor.
The Burton Dassett register records the burial in 1709 of “Anne the Wife of Wm Ledbrook”.
