Sidlesham parish lies in the Registration District of Westhampnett.

So this marriage looks a good bet:

September quarter 1872
Westhampnett RD    vol 2b, page 505

Simmonds, John
And, on the same page,
Baker, Fanny

Potential baptisms, from GRO:

    SIMMONDS, WILLIAM        BAKER     
GRO Reference: 1873  M Quarter in WESTHAMPNETT  Volume 02B  Page 355

    SIMMONDS, JOHN        BAKER     
GRO Reference: 1875  M Quarter in WESTHAMPNETT  Volume 02B  Page 342
   SIMMONDS, WILLIAM        BAKER 

There are other births, but in Brighton or Greenwich.

Hi.
Thank you all very much for your help. the marriage of John & Fanny in 1872 is correct and also the two children William 1873 and John 1875. John died in 1878. I think the family moved to Brighton in about 1876 so would it be possible to look at the baptisms & burials for Brighton between 1876 & 1882.Once again thank you.
