Mark,
Thanks for the help. A few items. Sophia Fenner married Samuel, John and Mary Roads' son, in 1811 according to Pallots Marriage Index, but Samuel and Ann, were having children from 1805 to 1813 in Hailsham according to the Parish Register, namely Naomi, George, Samuel Henry, and William in Hellingly and Hailsham. Henry Charles appears in the census data. It appears to me that Samuel married Ann, then Sophia. Samuel, John and Mary's son, was born on 22 Jul 1776 so would have been about 35 at the time of the Fenner marriage and 16 years older than Sophia if her birth year is 1792. I suspect perhaps another Samuel born about 1785 (about 26 old at his marriage) (I can't yet link him) married Sophia. I got into this whirlpool but I think I might have it now, but there are too many Henry's, Charles', and Samuel's in the late 1700's and early 1800's in Sussex. Enough for now.
