Title: Marriage of John WILSONand Sophia LONGHURST
Post by: Gracam on Wednesday 26 November 08 17:03 GMT (UK)

Hi

I've been trying for a long time to find the marriage of John WILSON and Sophia LONGHURST sometime between 1810 and 1818. They were living in Brighton, Sussex, from 1818 to John's death in 1834.

There is no entry in the Sussex Marriage Index and I've tried several other indexes without luck.

John WILSON was born about 1778/9, but I don't know where. Sophia LONGHURST was christened in Ashburnham, Sussex, in 1788.

John may have been connected with the army and is described both as a "forage master" and a "barrack clerk".

I'd be very grateful for any help

I’m descended from John and Sophia as well via Eliza Wilson (married to William Colebrook), and I have been working with DNA matches. I think it’s possible John Wilson was from Scotland.
