I am searching for the parents of William Pike born 1776 in Amesbury, Wiltshire. I have found lots of info on William but his parents remain a mystery. I have been told by another Pike researcher that they were possibly called Thomas Pike and Jane Ford but have been unable to confirm this. I'm getting to the giving up on them point now so would be grateful for any ideas or assistance please.
