Marriage lookup - Henry Floate COMPLETED

[downside]

Hi

I can't find the marriage of Henry Floate (b. 1803?) and Elizabeth Mills.

In theory they married in Washington, Sussex but it might be in the surrounding area.

If you have them on the 1841 census then that would be an added bonus.
Their son Henry was born in 1827 in Washington.

Cheers

Thanks for that.

Someone on GenesReunited contacted be over Christmas to tell me that I had got it all wrong and that Henry's (junior) parents were James and Lydia.

I wonder if Henry and Elizabeth married outside the county?

Any chance of getting the 1851 cenus Where Born detail?

Thanks Jane

Oh dear, Elizabeth must have been at least 2 months pregnant.

Son Henry was baptised 04 Oct 1827.

1851 census:

Henry Floate b. 1803  Pidehaven  or Pidenham ??
Elizabeth Floate  b. 1807  Storrington
Henry Floate b. 1828  Washington

Living Sand Hill, Washington, Henry a farmer of 112 acres employing 4 men.

In 1861 Henry and Elizabeth are lodging in the Red Lion Inn in Washington.
Elizabeth still born Storrington, Henry now born Vidinghove (?!!)
And I did look at the image - it surely is written just like that!

My Sussex geography isn't that good - any ideas?

In 1861 Henry is "formerly a farmer"

Their son is married to Elizabeth and is a gamekeeper.

Thanks Mum44

I think it is meant to be Piddinghoe which is north of Peacehaven and Newhaven in East Sussex.

Piddinghoe - I think you could be right!

IGI - extracted - baptism of Henry Float  (no e)
15 Dec 1802  Piddinghoe
Parents Henry Float and Hannah

That the one?
