There is a John Miller baptised at Wirksworth 16 Jun 1723, son of John Miller. (Listed as Johannus on FamilySearch.)

Possibility, hadn't thought of Miller.

There is a John Mellor buried at Brassington, 1 May 1795, age 81 (also from FamilySearch.)
And there is a George Mellor, son of John and Mary, buried there in 1759. FamilySearch doesn't give his age at death.
There are some children of John Mellor and Martha baptised at Brassington: Ales 18 Oct 1747, Robert 3 Jan 1754, Hannah 24 Oct 1756, George 8 Apr 1759, so I wonder whether the mother's name on the burial transcription is wrong. Also the baptism of a Jane Meller 5 Feb 1764, parents John and Martha.

There is a John Mellor marriage to a Martha Wain in 1745 at Alfreton, again on FamilySearch. But it doesn't give the exact marriage date so I don't know whether it is before your Mary's baptism.

Thanks Kate, I'll look into that.

[Margaret in Burton]

The baptisms look ok. I must check the Wirksworth database.

I'm doubtful about the marriage as Alfreton is a lot further away from Brassington and Wirksworth.

[Margaret in Burton]

Find My Past, Derbyshire Burials gives the marriage of John Mellor and Martha Waine at Alfreton as 7 July 1745.

Still not sure about it though. I suppose Martha could have been from Alfreton.

EDIT

It is the correct one. I've just realised that on FMP it gives the residence as Brassington

Martha Mellor was buried at Brassington, 12 Jun 1804, age 80. And there is a Martha Wayne, daughter of George, baptised at Wirksworth 16 May 1722.

Yes, I spotted that a couple of minutes ago.

Thanks for your help Kate.

John Mellor buried in Brassington 1 May 1795 aged 81 so going on a date of birth c 1714

FMP Derbyshire baptisms have a John Mellor, father Ralph baptised at Holy Trinity, Kirk Ireton, Derbyshire on 9 July 1713.

Kirk Ireton is about 6 miles from Brassington.

Don't know whether you already have a note of this, Marg, but on the Wirksworth parish register site, it says Alderwasley for the place of abode on Mary's 1745 baptism.

Yes I do Kate. That is very very close to Wirksworth.
