Sussex / Re:Research in Sussex Part 2

Hello Chris,

Yes it does pose more problems, but not quite as you might think!

I knew of James Weston, but he was believed to have died in infancy, I now know that it was after 1851 so I will renew my search for him.

Younger John was not Mary's child, so it does not surprise me he was living with his grandparents, but John's (1821) first wife was Sarah Croft so I am completely surprised by the Marchants.

The Marchant connection I have is as a possible ancestor of John's third wife whom he married in 1859!

There was no elder John in Brightling in 1851, I am beginning to suspect he had died much earlier.

thanks again, any further info around these families in Briightling much appreciated.

Clive

Hello Chris,

Could you please help with early census look ups for my WESTON family?

Most WESTONs being researched appear to come from Mayfield, but my John was born in 1821 in Heathfield.

In 1841 he was single, but where?

By 1851 he was married to Mary COOK (age 24). The marriage occurred in Brightling in 1849.  By 1854 he was definitely living at Burwash - Perrymans. There are likely to be 2 children John 6 and William 3.

John was involved in milling as was his father, also John, but I have no information on the elder John or any other siblings.


Thanks


Clive
