Hi Jack

This is the only Reece marrying in Peasmarsh on the Sussex Marriage Index (and the only Isaac)

Marriage:
Location: Peasmarsh, East Sussex,  Date: 28 Jun 1828:
Groom: Isaac REECE
Bride: Frances BARNET

That helps you with one maiden name

Hi again

As Peacemarsh is on the very edge of Sussex & Kent - maybe we should be looking in Kent for the marriage of Isaac and Judith

Hi Chris

On the death certificate of their daughter Judy (in Australia) the mother's maiden name started with a 'B' it was a scibble, so I guess Barnet was the one -

Many thank for this.. . . . .

Re: the other marriage (Isaac & Judith) - Im not sure where they were married. . . .  in could be any where in the County. very uncertain,

Though many thanks

Hi Casalguidi

Hi Again

I have just checked the 1841 and 1851 census for REECE on the border of Kent & Sussex around the Peasmarsh area - there were no entries

Would suggest they moved a bit further into Sussex, or they may have gone towards Dover way where I spotted some births in FreeBMD in the 1830's / 40's

Found these couple of entries interesting though:

Prisoners sentenced to Transportation from the Lewes Assizes between c1790 and c1850

Surname, Forename, Age, Residence, Sentence, Ref No, Date.
REECE Edward, 30, painter, Lewes - 7yrs. Ref: QR/920 - 1846 Dec
REECE Mary Charlotte, al.JONES Mary, 39, married, Lewes - 10yrs.

There you are; had a feeling they could have moved.

In those days most people could not read or write - so you did not know wether the clerk had spelled your name corectly - if it sounds right when you say it - odds are it is what you are looking for

Hi Chris

Many thanks for that - its good to know about the mis-spelling of the surnames - for future references too.

Thank you
