Molton Family of Winterborne Whitchurch

The original transcription of the marriage of Elizabeth Molton and William Arnold had the spelling of her name as the priest had written it namely Malton. However, as I observed the signature and having received an email from another descendant of this family it became obvious that the surname of Elizabeth was Molton.

There is a baptism for Elizabeth Molton 20 Apr 1766 at Winterborne Whitchurch and the daughter of William and Sarah Molton. A marriage has not yet been found for William and Sarah and that would be my research theme to attempt to find a marriage for this couple. They baptized five children at Winterborne Whitchurch between 1764 and 1782 namely:

Thomas baptized 11 Jun 1764 and buried 10 Feb 1765
Elizabeth baptized 20 Apr 1766
Stephen baptized 12 Jan 1772
Jane baptized 1 May 1774
William baptized 7 Apr 1782

Stephen married Hannah (unknown) and they had one son William baptized 17 Apr 1803 at Winterborne Whitchurch.

Jane married George Cromey 21 Sep 1801 at Winterborne Whitchurch.

William married Mary Bolt 17 Oct 1802 at Winterborne Whitchurch.

 William (father of Elizabeth) was baptized 2 Aug 1743 at Winterborne Whitchurch. He was the son of John and Elizabeth Molton for whom I do not have any marriage information. John was baptized 20 Jul 1714 at Winterborne Whitchurch and he was buried there 24 Jul 1784. He and Elizabeth had four children baptized at Winterborne Whitchurch namely:

William baptized 2 Aug 1743
Jane baptized 2 Jun 1749
Robert baptized 29 Nov 1753
John baptized 18 Jan 1756

This John (father of John) was also married to an Elizabeth and they baptized five children at Winterborne Whitchurch namely:

Mary baptized 2 Jan 1709
Thomas baptized 24 Aug 1712
John baptized 20 Jul 1714
Mary baptized 24 Jul 1721
Betty baptized 30 Jan 1722

I would like to verify these entries obtained from my cousin and extract Molton entries from the Winterborne Whitchurch parish registers which are also on Ancestry. These registers run from 1590 to 1812. I will begin with 1812 and work backwards.
