Elizabeth LATTEY of Compton Abbas, Dorset

Betty Lattey married William Parham 21 Dec 1785 in Compton Abbas, Dorset.

Just found this transcription which corrects the spelling of her surname - I knew her as Betty LATTY for years.
William PARHAM & Betty LATTEY [x] married 21-Dec 1785 by banns Witnesses; Bennett PARHAM; Mary HILL

Thank you Sue Stead for providing these invaluable transcriptions of the Compton Abbas parish registers.
Also lovely photos of the parish http://www.opcdorset.org/Compton/ComptonAbbas/ComptonAbbas.htm


From the monumental inscriptions of Compton Abbas
William PARHAM died 18th June 1838 age 77
Elizabeth PARHAM died Jan 22 1839 aged 76

This suggests that Elizabeth Parham (nee Lattey) was born in 


Some trees on ancestry.co.uk list Betty Lattey as the daughter born in 1763 to John Lattey. Family Search has one candidate for this person:   John Burden LATTY baptized 1740 Compton Abbas by Shaftesbury, Dorset, son of Elizabeth Latty. Unfortunately, John Burden Latty died 8 Jan 1740, 4 days after his christening.


There is a John LATTEY buried in Compton Abbas in 1782, also from the parish transcriptions.
