Hi Chris1066,

Many thanks for the STANFORD info. The marriage ties in with what I already have - helps to confirm it, but she was definitely Selina, not Eleanor (I think this is one of those cases of difficult handwriting). The baptism is great; it tis in with the age of Frederick in the 1851 census.

Now I have to find the marriage of Edward STANFORD and Sally. Family legend has it that at one point the family was in Alfriston (smuggling brandy) so perhaps I should look there.

thanks again,

Becca

Thanks for that, Andrea.

I now have two options for Frederick's parents - George and Sarah, or Edward and Sally (nee Cooper).

I think my next move is contact SFHG and see if I can find Frederick's baptism that way.

Hi, and thanks for the verification of the marriage: I'm pretty sure that's the same one. The Selina MARKWICK who you have marrying in Uckfield in 1831 had her marriage witnessed by one of Frederick's daughters (Rebecca STANFORD): there was a close connection between these two families: one of Frederick's grandsons married a MARKWICK grand-daughter.

Frederick did remarry, to Mary HARVEY in Brighton about a month before the 1851 census.

I'd still be grateful for STANFORD info from Lewes: I'm pretty sure this is where Frederick was from.

Thanks for your help,
BeccaK

Hi Chris,

I'm new to this forum, though I've been doing FH for about eight years now.

I spotted your amazing efforts with the St John sub Castro records and wonder if you can help me.

I have a STANFORD family who I pick up for definite in 1813 in Newhaven, when a tailor named Frederick and his wife Selina had a child (also Frederick) baptised. I know from the birth certificate of the last child, born in 1838, that Selina's maiden name was MARKWICK.

According to the 1851 census the elder Frederick was born in the parish of All Saints, Lewes.

I have never managed to find either his baptism or Selina's. I think they married in St John sub Castro on 10 Feb 1812, but this only an IGI record and I couldn't find it when I looked at the film some years ago.

I would be very, very grateful for any STANFORD information you can extract from your records, as I am trying to fit the family together. I know there was a George Stanford around at this time who was a builder, and some of the family was non-conformist.

Likewise, if you can tell me anything about Selina MARKWICK I'd be delighted:I have a mass of MARKWICK information (as I descend from another branch of it too), and the family has been extensively researched by several people, but so far Selina seems to have sprung out of thin air.

Yours hopefully,
BeccaK
