Hi Beryl
Nice to have you back again.
I have an I.G.I. record on Ellen Augusta Baker born to Samuel Baker and Ann Goodsell.
 birth date 31 August 1834 Christened 2 November 1835 Staplecross-Wesleyan Methodist Ewhurst Sussex England
Batch No. C068231 Film no. 0596907[Rg4 925 Print out 883937

Another oops from me also as I have already given you this information on Ellen and the only thing I querie is that you say that Ellen was buried 25 October 1835 and yet she was christened later.
I am wondering if it should have been buried 1836 as this would have been better suited as she then would have been 1 year old.

You are right Alice was the only child to come out with Samuel and Ann.


Regards Colin

Hi Colin
I have a sequence of burials for 1835, and Ellen is in the middle of them, so I am convinced that it was 1835. I have a couple of Goodsalls also buried in 1835. Another cousin & I agree on this.
In 1836 there are several Crouch burials, & William Baker (b. 1752) buried 21 Aug 1836 ag. 74 yrs. Was unable to get photocopies, and it is a couple of months since I transcribed this,
but I think the register was on forms by this stage, so I think I would have got the years right.
Strange about the christening! Have we got the same person!

I will be getting this register back again,  when I  will have time to revised my research  laterin the year.  That will be after the OE. It is going to be incredible to visit this churchyard!
Another cousin has sent me this lovely tree with alot of other contributing families,
who are from the parishes to the west of Ewhurst, Sussex. I am still trying to absorb all this.
Cheers

Hi Beryle
The info I gave you about Ellen Baker is correct as it stipulates parents as Samuel Baker and Ann Goodsell if you go to the The Latter Day Saints Family Search and type in Ellen Baker 1834 and put parents as Samuel and Ann you will come up with the goods.
Yes I too have seen the church records for burials for Ewhurst but although I wrote down a fair bit of info I didn't write down everything.

A small correction for the burial of William Baker buried 21/8/1836 aged 74 he was born 1762 not 1752 and two Sarah Crouch burials one for 4/7/1836 age 35 and 20/7/1836 age 78, did you get William Merrick buried 9/6/1825 age 88 he was born to Joseph Merrick and Ann Bull.

I don't know why the burial of Ellen Baker does not work out with her christening?
Also I made a little mistake too on Ellen's death age as she would have been two not one as I stated in my last topic.

Hi
I have been following all your Ewhurst threads and wondered if any of you could help me.  I am looking for the Cook(e) family of Ewhurst and especially the parents of a Thomas Cooke born C1825, who married Sarah A Edmunds in 1847.  I visited the church last week and toured the graveyard but could only find 1 legiable Cooke gravestone.  I met the vicar walking his dog and he said inside the church was a brown folder with the grave names and positions listed.  There was no book to be found, and the vicar had gone.

Has anyone go a copy of the names of people listed in the graveyard, that I could refer to?  Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi
Unfortunately I  can't help you with your request.
I also visited Ewhurst Green recently, and saw the church. Unfortunately we did not have time to cover the churchyard. That will have be another visit, on the next  OE.

I am intreged to hear about this list the vicar has.
Perhaps a letter would be an idea.
Hopefully some tombstone transcription has been done. here's hoping.
Did the vicar indicate that there might be a plan somewhere?
There is a very nice little guidebook to the church.
Did you get one of them when you were there?
Cheers

i wasn't looking for info for Mary Crouch but i have info for Crouchs in my tree due to My Ancestor Mary Punnett marrying John Miller, then their daughter Elizabeth Miller marrying Nathanial Crouch, they settled in Brede

Best Wishes
