Thank you, interesting that the name Pretty has come up, as I had already found records of connections betwwen Madew and Pretty families in 17C.
Plus a Martha Madew being stillborn child to William Madew and Anne Pretty in 1680
The Laurence connection looks promising.
Thanks.

Eleanor married Thomas Madew at St Martin's Birmingham on 18th August 1798.
I want to find her maiden name, because she was listed as a widow on the marriage certificate.
Witnesses were Richard Greaves and William Loynes, but I don't know if they are any relation.
