I know John Willsher and wife Sarah had their daughter Elizabeth baptised 25 Sep 1776 at St. Peter Ad Vincula, Coggeshall, Essex.

I have found a tentative marriage for John Willsher to Sarah Ardley 25 May, 1769, Cressing, Essex but have not yet checked the original parish registers.

That's it!

Not sure whether this has been covered before, Nell, but there are some other baptisms on FamilySearch which may or may not belong to the same family:
Sarah Wilshire 21 Nov 1780, Independent Protestant, Great Wigborough, parents John and Sarah
Thomas Wiltshire 29 Jul 1784 Kelvedon, parents John and Sarah
Mary Finch Wiltshire 26 May 1793 Kelvedon, parents John and Sarah

Thanks as ever for your eagle eyes! I have got a note of these baptisms, which are in the right area, but unable to join the dots as yet!

The lovely Chris on this site has sent me an image of the marriage register, which shows that John was of the parish of Coggeshall and Sarah of the parish of Cressing, and one of the witnesses was Elizabeth Willsher. They were married by licence.
