James Isted & wife Mary x 2 Who's who?

[Wozza]

Well! Thank you Omega & thank you Jane for your time & input dealing with my quest.

Struth! it just does't get any easier does it ? Omega, I note the age differences of James
& Mary in the 1841 & 1851 census. Surely not the same couple, even with the rounding
up or down of ages. Verrrrrrry confusing methinks.

Jane, If you don't mind I will take up your Ancestry contact offer. Nothing ventured,.
nothing gained they say.

Thanks again for the help, Wozza.

Something for the back burner

James,10 Dec 1775,son of Edward & Sarah,Sarah`s MN  WOOD,as from SMI 1765

James 26 Feb 1780,son of William & Sarah,Sarah`s MN Histed,as from
SMI 1773

Hope this helps in someway

Hi Wozza

Welcome to Rootschat

If it will help I can take a look at the East Grinstead and West Hoathly registers when I next go to the West Sussex RO - the original entires may have extra info to distinguish between the two families, then at least you would have 2 sets of children which would be a start

Wozza, I've sent you a PM.
If you Google, 'Isted Sussex' you'll get some good hits concerning the family plus a couple of good websites,

   Sadly Omega, These Isteds don't seem to fit the bill, at least as far as I can figure.

However James 1775 could be a chance.

  Thank you Janan. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

There is a will for a Henry Isted of West Hoathly for 1841 and another for Henry Isted of East Grinstead for 1779 that might contain some clues.
You can find them at DocumentsOnline.

Great stuff swebby, I'll check it out tomorrow. It' way past my bed time, but far too
hot for sleeping.

Hi Wozza

Here is the info from the West Sussex Record Office

First the marriages: both James Isted's are bachelors on marriages; the one who married Mary Betts is of West Hoathly, the one who married Mary Bysh is of East Grinstead; interestingly a Mary Bysh witnessed the Isted/Betts marriage, makes me wonder if the two James are related in some way.

Of the baptisms for children of James and Mary in East Grinstead/West Hoathly between 1803 and 1830 only these contain any extra information:

West Hoathly
28 April 1822 Edward Isted son of James and Mary, Labourer of West Hoathly
East Grinstead
11 April 1813 Mary Isted daughter of James and Mary, Farmer of East Grinstead
25 Oct 1818 John Isted son of James and Mary, Farmer of East Grinstead
14 feb 1830 Frances Isted daughter of James and Mary, Farmer of Butlers Farm

Also found these burials
West Hoathly  8 Jul 1846 James Isted 75 of West Hoathly

East Grinstead Dec 30 1858 James Isted 81 Workhouse
East Grinstead Jan 15 1866 Mary Isted 81 East Grinstead

Hope this is of some help in your mission to sort out the two familes
