I had realised that she may have been born before 1535 but I was just hoping.

I have just searched the Christening entries for Great Packington from the first entry and could not see any entries with similar name on them.

I think that I will go to my Local library because I know that Great Packington Records are held there and perhaps someone can help me with the marriage entry and be able to transcribe the name on that.

Tank you

Sorry SJR I don't know what you mean?
Ancestry has a photocopy of the original record. You said that you had found it yourself.

Ancestry's records for Warwickshire start in 1535 so if she married in 1557 it's borderline whether a christening will be found.

Researching:
Weedon - Australia, Hertfordshire; Paterson - Scotland; Elmer - Huntingdon; Ball, Lloyd, Warren - Birmingham; Branson - Bucks;

Could the surname be Keelinge? There are a large number of events fro this surname in the parish of Nether Whitacre which is only seven miles away

The record states 'Agnes *** ye daughter of John ***' and Katheryn, and the second surname is a bit clearer. It looks like Kelynge (the first letter of the surname and the wife's christian name look the same to me).

Researching:
Weedon - Australia, Hertfordshire; Paterson - Scotland; Elmer - Huntingdon; Ball, Lloyd, Warren - Birmingham; Branson - Bucks;

Where did you find the record?

Is it online so others could take a look and hopefully help with deciphering.?

I have found the marriage of my 10xGr. Grandfather in 1557, but I cannot decipher the surname of his bride. I have been able to read her first name which was Agnes.
Unfortunately I cannot get to the County Records Office where someone may be able to read the entry.
This is really frustrating because I think that I would be able to find her christening in the Parish Records.
