Hi Yangquing

Welcome to Rootschat and especially the Sussex Board - we think its one of the best.

Tapped the surname CRAMP into my data archives and it came back with over 100 burials in and around the Bexhill / Battle area between 1720 and 1938

If you send me your e-mail address via private message, (click on the scroll to the left) I will send the details to you by e-mail

I have attached the Bodiam entries to this message

Hi Chris

Thought I would place this request here as you indicated you had a listing of Cramps from Sussex. 

Can you confirm/deny a Marriage between Thomas Munn b c1746 to Lucy Cramp b c1748? I have seen an IGI marriage between Thomas Munn and Sarah Cramp 1815 but they are too late to be mine - if they are

The info I have came from an IGI Tree but I cant find the supporting info on FindMyPast

Thomas "Mun" married Lucy Lewes at Bexhill 5 Nov 1783.     No marriage to a Lucy Cramp that I can see on the Sussex pre 1837 marriage index.  No records at all for a Lucy Cramp.

Thank you sill

Bexhill works for the following family and dates as well 

Off to chase that one around. But really only 1 N ?

Hi

Thank you Sillgen for that speedy reply
I agree with your findings

Only one "n" is not at all unusual in those days as spelling varied a lot.  Many people could not read to check what the vicar had written so it all depended on his whim at the time.   Other variants on the SMI are MUNNE, MUNE, MUNS and MUNNS so best to search for all of them.
