Find Ancestors

Can anyone help me find the birth and possibly parents of Elizabeth Wise. All I have is that she married James Drake in 1762 in Yealmpton, Devon, and they had six children.
James was baptised in 1735, parents John and Agnes.

Thanks.

According to FamilySearch, you can view the image if you log on to the site at a Family History Centre.
There are lots around the UK (and in other countries if you're not in the UK). You can find out from the FS website where the nearest one is to you.

Or, looking at the above, it's available to view on FMP, if you have a sub there, which I don't.

Of course, it's possible the image may not tell you any more than is given above.

A friend just looked on FMP and the actual image gives a witness as Richard Drake - could be father or brother, and Edward Grilly - or at least that's what it looks like.

Thanks.
