Title: Hannah, wife of Richard Cobby (1794 - 1859)
Post by: Diana Humphries on Sunday 16 August 15 01:43 BST (UK)

Hi Chris,
Richard Cobby and Hannah are my 4th great grandparents. I know lots about Richard (smuggling etc), and found his birth in Eastbourne in one of your completed lookups. But i'm still stuck on Hannah. She's buried in All Saints Jan 1840 age 39 so that gives her birth but I don't know her surname,  where she was born, nor can I find a marriage for them. Their children are registered in All Saints. 

Please can you help?! Thanks in anticipation, Diana

Hello Diana

The marriage from Sussex Marriage Index CD & Baptisums from Sussex Family History Group.

Members get online access to Baptisums & Burials.The SMI CD can be purchased from the Group.

Will worth the money if you have a lot of Sussex Ancestors
