Heathfield Parish Registers

[Mike Baldock]

Thanks for that Kerry - I had done a search on Harmer but that post didn't show up

I see the transcripts don't go up to 1761, but the IGI had given a Joseph and Ann as the parents...

Susanna married a Samuel Lusted alias Cornford in 1789 - another confusing wee twig!

Hi again Mike

Sorry I missed the 1753 bit.  Blame it on snow!

I've taken a look at the Sussex Family History Group database and found her, she is indeed daughter of Joseph and ann and baptised on 12 April 1761.

Do you have her siblings?

Hi Chris

Would it be possible to look up a baptism of Mary Dearing which took place in 1730. I just want to check there was only one Mary Dearing from Heathfield around that time.

Thanks
David

Hi David

Its the only one, but there are several more children prior to Mary - do you have them?

Bapt, 1730 5 Nov, Mary the daughter of John and Dorothy Dearing.

Thanks Chris, apologies for not replying sooner. We have children of John Dearing (1683-1731) who married Dorothy Mepham (1694-1766) on 11 May 1715 as: John Dearing 1715; Christopher Dearing 1717-1757; Henry Dearing 1721; George Dearing 1724-1757 (married Mary Knight 1 Dec 1748); and of course Mary who married John Oxley whose information you have already checked for me.

Thanks for all you do. If you ever want help putting the Heathfield Registers onto FreeCEN i have done some of that work for Dorset.

Regards
David

1716 Bapt   22 Feb   John the son of John and Dorothy Dearing
1717 Bapt   20 Oct   Christopher the son of John and Dorothy Dearing
1720 Bapt   13 Apr   Thomas the son of John and Dorothy Dearing
1721 Bapt   22 Oct   Henry the son of John and Dorothy Dearing
1724 Bapt   26 Apr   George the son of John and Dorothy Dearing

Thanks again Chris. Are you happy to check back another generation?
Christopher Dearing/Deering and Elizabeth:
Elizabeth 1672
Ann 1674
John 1683
Mary 1689

and on the other side John Mepham and Dorothy?
Walter 1688
Susan 1690
Dorothy 1694

I'm sure there will be others missing. Checking someone else's tree so additional evidence always good.
