Hi Michael
Still beavering away at the Grout lineage I see!
Correct me if I am wrong but haven't we looked for this before.
At the 'Help Clinic' we only have the same resources available as we have used previously to try and resolve this dilemma and I am afraid that the information is just not there. Perhaps at some point in the future when more records become available on-line you will find her. I sincerely hope you do so that you can tie together this line of your tree.
In the meantime I wish you good luck and happy hunting.

Researching:
More in hope than expectation!

Hi there,
I am trying to find this ancestor of mine who i believe was the father of my known ancestor[also called Martin] who as per my tree on this site married an Elizabeth Scott in Great Bardfield Essex in 1763.
The name of a Martin Grout and an Elizabeth[name unknown] appears on SEAX[images 13,14 and 15]for baptisms in Little Bardfield between 1735 and 1751.Five children are listed during this time[but not a Martin].It was normal in those days,i believe to name the firstborn after their parents so i am sure[as no marriage record can be found for LB]that they were married elsewhere.Also when Elizabeth dies in the early 1750's no trace of a burial for that parish.This leads me to think that she was interred in her own parish[hopefully the marriage location].
He marries again to a Martha with three further children and they are all buried[between 1780 and 1798 in LB.
Therefore i am trying to find that parish and hopefully locate a Martin and an Elizabeth.
This is the one missing link to my tree and when found it takes my line back to 1578.
I am hoping that you can help in this dilemma.
Regards.
Michael.
