Thankyou Valda and Ian. I did know that births were often registered in different quarters, and should have picked that up. I had similar problems with my mother and grandmother.

It is interesting that a different birth place is given for John Dobson on the two census returns, and Mary does not appear on the 1871 return. But it certainly looks like the same family.  Whickham (not Wickham) is probably the right birth place. From what I can see on the net Dunston/Whickham/Gateshead are all in the same general area.

It looks like Sarah Budgen was born 1796 as Sarah Pomphrey in Newick (or Chailey)  the daughter of John and Mary Pomfrey.  In 1823 she married William Harland and they had a daughter Jane b 1824 at Newick. In 1832 Sarah married James Budgen and they had two children – Christiana b 1834 and James b 1836.   Jane Harland assumed the name Jane Budgen for the 1851 Census.

I have sent to the GRO for birth certificate for a male Budgen born 1851 in East Grinstead (maybe this is the one I am after) and the death certificate of Christiana Greves. These will probably take a couple of weeks to get here. It will be interesting to see if they shed any light on the matter.

Not the Brighton area or Newick areas.

I am a bit lost with this one as there are so many threads.  Has anyone found William and Christina in 1851?  Both servants in the same household in Brighton.

Yes, see 10th August post on this thread and then MalGordon's summary on 11th August.

Should have known you would find it Valda!  As they were both in Brighton could the baby have been born there perhaps?

Thank you Valda. I have found that death entry now. Looks like another theory gone west. It was just a clutching at straws, but in the overall context it seemed a highly possible solution.  I think you are probably right, if these are the parents, that the birth could have taken place in either Brighton or Lewes.  I still have that death certificate coming so will wait and see what that brings.

Cheers
