I checked out Thomas Hunchin and it says the father William is a Periwigmaker. A family I thought connected in Uckfield, William Hutchinson (mercer) married an Elizabeth Gunner and one of their other sons was also a periwigmaker. "Thomas Hunchin" if my line - my Thomas was also a mercer. I am wondering how coincidental this is? Were there hundreds of periwig makers?

You are looking - in several different posts - for a Thomas Hutchinson who "married Sarah Browne fron Dicker in Arlington in 1731. He is "sojourner" and lived in Hooe."

Thomas may of course have been born outside of Sussex. No doubt there are other possible reasons that you can't find a spare one for your tree.

You could also be a bit more creative in your search, though it may not lead anywhere of course.
Spelling of surnames was variable, and sometimes names mutated. So try looking for Hutchin/Hutchins as well as Hutchinson.
Slightly more extreme example -
Tho Hunchin, son of Wm, baptised 20 November 1707, Eastbourne.

Not saying it's your guy, only that it's another avenue to explore.

Great find! Thank you.

Thank you. Any signs of another Thomas born around the same time. I thought I had found him in Rotherfield but the Will of his father Richard left estate to Thomas' son Richard, (not to Thomas) and I have no relative, unless he married before?

I'm looking for the Thomas.....does it mean with Thomas or wife of Thomas. I'm looking for a living Thomas in the area born 1680 to 1712. Thanks.

He married Sarah Browne fron Dicker in Arlington in 1731. He is "sojourner" and lived in Hooe.
