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.

HTH Linell.

hi where do you think the name essias comes from

Wouldn't like to hazard a guess, could be a miss-transcription

HTH Linell.

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:-

Hereford Record Office
The Old Barracks
Harold Street
HEREFORD HR1 2QX
