Hi, Rosina's maiden name was RUSSELL. She was the daughter of John Russell and Mary Young, married at Frant 1779. John was born 1757, the son of William Russell (bn 1736) and Sarah Hover, married Ticehurst 1757. John's brother William (bn 1759) was my ggggg grandfather :-). The family is pretty well recorded in Burwash history. Regards, David Taylor

Hi,
My apologies. I am looking for the marriage of William and Sarah, parents of John and others born between 1785 and 1805.
My assumption, got to start somewhere, is that William would have been between 25 and 35 at time of marriage making his birth between 1750 and 1760.
One family that looks about right in Burwash is William and Sarah who had the following children bap in Burwash:
William 13 September 1759
Thomas 24 September 1761
Stephen 21 January 1763 bur 8 Apr 1763 Burwash
James 6 May 1764
Wilkin chr 31 March 1766
Sarah 4 December 1767
Richard 6 April 1771

Cheers,
David

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply. I have a well documented birth of John and his siblings, born between 1785 and 1805, showing parents as William and Sarah. The William and Sarah in Buxted have children attributed to them in Buxted contemporaneous with John and siblings so unlikely to be John's parents in my view.
Numerous Williams ... don't I know it :-)
The ones I am tending towards are William / Wilken 1759 and 1766 sons of William and Sarah. There is a marriage for William and Sarah 1755 in Burwash. There is also a William bn 1739 (poss father for William).
Thank you for the two possibilities you have supplied.
I have some evidence to support William's death before or in 1840.
Cheers,
David

Hi Barbara,
Did you sort out your John Russell bn 1821 Burwash s/o John Russell (bn 1791 Burwash) and Judith Eastwood? I noticed you were also looking for Horace and Walter. John and Judith had sons called Horace and Walter (born 1826 and 1824 respectively) who both died in 1848, which is why you couldn't find them in the 1850s perhaps. Given your original messages are dated 2005 I imagine you know all this now :-) If you have perhaps you now have info on the William Russell and Sarah (John bn 1791 parents)? We might have info to share
Regards,
David Taylor

There appear to be two families in Burwash with parents called William and Sarah Russell. Of all the children of the two families the first child I have found was born 1761 and the last 1805. The first "group", 6 kids, is 1761 - 1771. Then there is a child, Francis, born 1779. i believe his line is quite well documented re Park Mill. Then the second group of 11 kids was born between 1785 and 1805. Obviously William and Sarah HALL/HATT are candidates for the second group, which is the one I am most interested in.
A small but interesting side issue is that Benjamin Russell bn 1795 (1 of the 11) was the landlord of one of the pubs in Burwash and died in mysterious circumstances in 1825 (a far bit on the net on this). Anyway apart from confirming that Benjamin's father was a William Russell documents also refer to his uncle, Francis Russell. This obviously leads me to suspect that William (1759?) had a brother Francis, who I would also like to identify since it may very well help me identify William and Francis' parents of course.
Cheers,
David
