Can't find anything for a Catherine Essias. I doubt if there is much on line for them, would be best to visit Hereford Archives and see what Registers they hold there.

Here is the address for Hereford Archives, the sort of documents you need for the 1700's will be held there. If you cannot visit you can ask them to search for you, but they do charge:-
