Father Wright IZZARD d. Abt 1793, Stevenage, Hertfordshire Relationship natural Mother Mary ??? d. Abt 1790, Stevenage, Hertfordshire Relationship natural Notes - There is little clear about who Mary is, and where they married.
Superficially the best match given the names is a marriage between William IZZARD and Mary GIBBS 1/10/1747 in Banbury. There is no obvious reason for them being in Banbury unless they wanted to get married in a location that did not know they already had a child. But this is the only event I can find on the internet with the right names.
Alternatively, William IZARD and Mary WALKER who marry at Baldock 11/4/1732. This then begs the question about apparently missing children between then and 1746. Assuming the burial information is for the right people, it also means that both were close to if not over 80 when they died, which would be unusual for people in this environment.
Mary might be a middle name and the marriage might have been with a Christian name (or vice versa). This means that possibly William IZARD and Grace JAMES 15/12/1749 at Baldock is possible, but this seems less likely than either of the others.
One other somewhat intriguing story which appears to be popular on the internet is about Mary IZZARD. Mary was a master ???[unclear] who took on Mary CAMFIELD as an apprentice on 18 Feb 1744/5. It would be fun if Mary Camfield married Wright, but the only marriages I can find are to different people.
