Heathfield Parish Registers

[Stovepipe]

Chris seems to be AWOL for a while so I hope people don't mind me butting in. 

Hi Kerry,

From the PRTS's CD of Beverly Roth's transcript of the Heathfield baptism register:

1681 24 Jan  William the son of Thomas PECKHAM by Elizabeth his wife

The year looks very old style to me.


Hi Poppyann,

From the same source:

1667 20 Feb  Richard the son of Thomas FULLER

Again the year looks old style, so 1668 in our terms.  No mother is named - I tried looking for other baptisms with Thomas as the father but there was only one and again it didn't name a mother.  For the record the other child of Thomas (assuming he hadn't a namesake) was:

Margaret, bp 20 Nov 1666

I couldn't find a marriage for Thomas, but these are possibly Richard's:

1695 16 Apr  Richard FULLER and Mary WATERS

1710 25 May  Richard FULLER and Suzan BENE

These burials may be of interest:

1692 21 May  Margaret the wife of Thomas FULLER (BT entry only)

1708 4 Oct  Mary the wife of Richard FULLER (BT only)

1713 7 Jan  Thomas FULLER the butcher (year looks old style)

1736 19 Mch  Richard FULLER (OS year again)

1743 26 July  Susannah FULLER widow


HTH,

Thanks for that Stovepipe. 

Chris hasn't been about all week, perhaps he's Christmas shopping, or avoiding it somewhere

Thanks for the info Stovepipe, it has been very useful. Would it be possible for you to help me find the parents of Mary Waters, she was born abt 1675. Just as a matter of interest when Richards son Richard married he and his wife moved to Brightling where there were a lot of Fullers. Regards Poppyann

Hi Poppyann

I have a Harmer who married a Fuller of Brightling, have you seen the Fuller family tree - http://www.angelfire.com/planet/madjack/index.htm

Hi Poppyann

More baptisms

I couldn't find a baptism for Sarah WOOD

If the Richard who married Sarah was Thomas's son this burial may be that of his mother.

If not this may be his father's burial

HTH,

(PS I've tentatively identified a Fuller in my tree, too - Elizabeth, born about 1725 - so thanks, Kerry, for the link!)

We seem to be interlinking here Stovepipe, 

The name Waters rang bells with me and I have an unproved baptism of Sarah Waters on 17 December 1769 at Heathfield, which I need to prove especially as my information says she was born in Battle.  Parents Thomas Waters and Ann unknown.

Would you be able to check her baptism and see if there are any other around the same time to a Thomas and Ann?

She married into the Stonestreet family in Brightling.

Sorry, Kerry, my source ends in 1753 the same as Chris's and there's no WATER(S) baptism after 1738 up to its end.

Thanks again Stovepipe I am grateful for your help Regards Poppyann

Hi Kerry, yes I have seen the Fuller  website. I also have the name Harmer in my tree but they were born in Herstmoncuex. Regards Poppyann
