I have been researching my Glossop family based in Arundel and have got back to George Glossop who was born in 1821 somewhere in Sussex. He was married to Eliza Forrest at St Nicholas Church Brighton in 1837 . They had 4 children George b 1837 William b 1839 Edmund b 1850 and Ann b 1853, they were all born in Arundel. However I don't seem to get beyond this, has can anyone help please?

Hi and welcome to Rootschat
George Glossop who was born in 1821
He was married to Eliza Forrest at St Nicholas Church Brighton in 1837
If George & Eliza married in 1837 - he must have been born before 1821
The 1851 census shows his birthyear as 1815 and his birthplace as Arundel

Here's his baptism from Family Search

1851 also gives more children as there is a Harriet between William and Edmund All born Arundel.

Siblings perhaps

The baptisms of George and Eliza's children are on Family Search

Many thanks. The christenings I believe would have taken place in the private chapel of D of Norfolk, as they were RC. I did find some reference to this many years ago at Chichester record office.Interesting how the mother's name is spelt 3 different ways.I haven't been able to find any reference to any more Glossops before the father George Glossop .

Hi
There is always the possibility that George snr was born outside Sussex in which case it could be difficult researching further without knowing his origins.
I searched for George Glossop entries on Family Search with a birthyear between 1765-1790 and just showed England as the birthplace
Derbyshire & Yorkshire seemed to be the most popular birthplaces

I agree. Loads of them in Derbyshire, had some idea, perhaps family folklore that it might be chesterfield area. Thanks anyway
