His baptism from www.familyhistoryonline.net
Henry Float baptised 11 May 1758, parents William and Lucy Float, abode - Wiston, notes Buncton chapel by Mr Penfold.
1758 baptism makes him a little young to marry in 1772unless he was older when baptised, would the word chapel mean it was an adult baptism?

WOW you guys are great and very fast...now to find the death has been difficult.
To answer the question on the birth, his parents were married in Jan of 1758 I guess either way she was a little with child.. I am not sure about the age of the time period for getting married, I know the women tended to be young, but I have seen the Men young at times too...
Thanks again for the help..Let me know when I can repay the favor...
Ellie ;) :D :) 8)

Hi again Ellie
found Sarah's death
Sarah Float buried 30 May 1821 age 75 years, at Wiston St Mary, Sussex
That means she was born 1746 Hmm and quite a bit older than Henry or we are looking at the wrong marriage.

I too originaly had her birth Abt 1746 then changed it due to the information on some information that someone else had given me, and the fact that Henry was so young, Maybe I will try to track that line later this evening...20 degrees below zero here...gonna go make soup...Thanks so much!!
