I think I'm going off on a tangent here - would somebody else care to look at the following and give some thoughts.
I looked for a marriage of James Brett* circa 1847 +/- 5 years and two entries popped up both James Brett both same quarter 4 1850
The second one is incorrect as it gives the reference as 5 767 but on looking at the image I believe it is 763
However, there didn't appear to be an Eliza for a spouse.
So I looked for James Wood and married in the Rye district in Q1 1847 was a James Henry Wood. (Again noticed the father's name given by liz as James HENRY Britwood) Listed for the same page is an Eliza Ann Care but the district clearly states Ross which is also written on the image so there is something wrong here, but I don't see any other entries - either male or female - for Ross with the same page number.
But if I look at the 1851 census I find ........
Rye, Sussex
James Care Head Mar 54 Mariner Kent Rolvenden?
Mercy Wife Mar 54 Sussex Rye
John Goble son Mar 33 Ag Lab " "
Sarah Ann Brett Granddaur 3 " "
HO107; Piece: 1634; Folio: 299; Page: 12
No sign of any other Sarah Brettwood or Sarah Wood of that age born Rye.
Just noticed the entry by lizdb - coincidence of the name Mercy given to one of the children.
