Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Clark, Sheaf, Waterman of Portsea

Dear Nell,
Yes, difficult isn't it when it is so far back.  I wondered if her mother's name was Louisa as she named her eldest daughter Louisa and the name seems to have gone down the generations.
Will have a hunt for a Louisa and John WATERMAN and see if that turns up anything.
Cheers
Brenda

Thank you Nell,
that is excellent, I am pleased to know it is in the Parish Register entry.  Another researcher has where the Brides surname is written, it is not simply WATERMAN but 'John WATERMAN', would it be possible that this person was a former husband and that WATERMAN is not in fact her original maiden surname?
I wonder why that would be written, of course it could be that John WATERMAN is her father, that is another possibility.
Sorry to be a pest.
Kind regards from a chilly, wet and windy Hamilton NZ

 :DHello from New Zealand
I am helping my stepchildren do their family tree, they are descended from Aaron SHEAF and Elizabeth WATERMAN.
Their Grandmother (still alive and living on the Isle of Wight) is a Great Grandaughter to them - Aaron & Elizabeth.
I have been very pleased to find the postings about them and because I had been working from almost total ignorance about the SHEAF family I have discovered quite a lot and managed to create an interesting, although at times rather tragic tree.
There was a descendant who now lives in New Zealand, I would be pleased to hear from that person as I am in Hamilton New Zealand, as is my stepson and his sister also a descendant lives in Perth, West Australia.
A question :  All the family trees and researchers quote Aaron SHEAF's wife as Elizabeth nee WATERMAN. Does anyone know where Elizabeth's maiden surname is referenced or sourced ?
Kind regards,
Brenda

A big thank you to Mr Stovepipe and Omega for their kind and supportive messages.
The detail in Omega's replies is just outstanding, and is much appreciated.
If anyone one needs help 'down under' with New Zealand and Australian looks up or research please ask.
Kind regards from a cool autumn Friday evening in Hamilton NZ.

Thank you very much.
That much is great because there is confusion between Charlotte's surname being BUTLER or CAMPBELL.
Does anyone have access to the BECKLEY register's.
Kind regards,

Sussex / Beckley Sussex Parish records DENNIS family
« on: Monday 28 March 11 22:55 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I am new at this and have seen some 2009 postings regarding parish records for Beckley Sussex.
I am interested in Thomas DENNIS born about 1798 - 1801 Beckley Sussex
Married a Charlotte BUTLER or Charlotte CAMPBELL.
Would love to know
1.    Thomas's parents / siblings
2.    Marriage details for Thomas and Charlotte 6th. September 1823 Beckley, Sussex, England.
On the 1841 census they are living at Beckley Parish in the Hundred of Goldspur with son's Willliam 15yrs and Thomas 2yrs.
Any help very much appreciated.
Kind regard
Brenda
