Mary Ann born circa 1835 at Salehurst
John born circa 1838 in Sussex - died probably in infancy
William born 31 Oct 1841 at Etchingham - married Charlotte Oxenbridge at Etchingham on 02 Dec 1865

I have some decendents for Sophia born 1851 but am interested to know what happened to her siblings.  If anyone has any information about this family I would be glad to hear from them.

Hi Ian

Thank you for this.  I don't have an Edward Jones married to Ann Stonestreet but no doubt there is a connection here somewhere. Does the Sussex Marriage Index give any information about them?

The census data that you supplied definitely relates to my family and has filled in a few gaps for me.

With apologies to Ian, but just in case you were waiting for the information,

Salehurst, East Sussex,   25 Apr 1835:
 Ann STONESTREET
 Edward JONES, (B)
 
That's the extent of the information.  (B) means by banns,

Hi Jane

Thank you very much for this but I am now a bit confused!

This is the same date that I was given for the marriage of my Richard Jones and Ann Stonestreet.  I have Richard's birth date circa 1813 at Salehurst, the son of John Jones and Jane Brett

Richard and Ann are recorded in the census records as follows:
1841 - Salehurst
1851 - Etchingham
1861 - Etchingham
1871 - Etchingham
1881 - Salehurst
1891 - no trace

I have the following children Richard and Ann:

Mary Ann born circa 1835 at Salehurst
John born circa 1838 at Salehurst
William born  31 Oct 1841 at Etchingham
Harriett born circa 1844 at Etchingham
James born  10 Jul 1848 at Etchingham
Sophia born 1851 at Etchingham
Ellen born circa 1856

I wonder whether Richard and Edward are in fact the same person?

[Jane Masri]

   That is weird.  I've checked the index under Richard Jones/Ann Stonestreet & there's only the Edward marriage.  What was your source for the Richard/Ann marriage?  Maybe he was baptised Richard Edward or Edward Richard & used one or the other

mmmm a bit of a puzzle!  I have a note that 'my' Richard died 19 Feb 1882 at Hurst Green, Sussex.  Perhaps his death cert might hold the answer or some clues.  Can english certs for this period be obtained online?

I realised that I had read the name "Stonestreet" recently when researching my "Gadd" family in Salehurst.  I expect you already have the info but in case not:

RG 13/893 Folio 22 page 6

Reginald Stonestreet (head) aged 25 born Robertsbridge
Mary (wife) aged 29 born Ewhurst
Gracy Cook (daur) aged 5 born Salehurst

Hi
You can order all BMD certificates from 1837 onwards online.  They are free to search on www.ancestry.co.uk (scroll down on the home page and click the link on the right hand side) and there is a link to order them from the GRO.  They cost £7.   You can also write to the local register office.
Often death certificates are not very useful though.  They give age, address and occupation and the name of the informant but no birth date.  They may say "widow of/husband of"  but not much else.
I wonder if he left a will?   That might be a better bet.
