I'm not working on this line of my family right now, but found something some years ago that might be helpful to you if you don't know about it already. Sorry I don't know who Priscilla's parents are, but this is what I DO know. Joseph Jonah Barnhurst was an iron and brass founder by trade according to a Barnhurst history written by Leathra Laub and Milton Rubincam. There is in the Bishop's transcripts of the parish church of Sheffield, York, England, a marriage listing for JOSHUA Barnhurst and Presilla Undrill "by Banns" on 30 May 1808.(FHL film # 919327) Yes, it gives him another name, but that happens and in view of the fact that Sheffield was a great metalworking center of the time, it makes sense to me that he might have been there learning his trade.I can't think that this would be a different couple. The timing is right. Sheffield is also close to Manchester. The Underhills may have moved there since Priscilla's birth. Manchester, by the way, is nowhere near Warwickshire. Can't imagine where that came from. Anyway, if this is new to you, I hope it helps.
