Andy,

This might be some help - Storrington is very close to Thakeham.

Storrington baptisms:

14/08/1836 Margaret Maria REAVIL, d. of William & Margaret REAVIL.  Occupation: Master of Thakeham Union
18/11/1838 Lydia Diana REAVIL, d. of William & Margaret REAVIL.  Occupation: Governor of Workhouse

Storrington burial:

28/02/1853 George REVELL, age 34, Master of Thakeham Union

Seems like being Thakeham Workhouse master ran in the family.

I can't find the name in the Storrington Marriage & Banns registers; I don't have access to Thakeham registers.

HTH,
Stovepipe
