Feist: Brighton and Horsham

[addlened]

Hi,

I am trying to track down the marriage between George Feist and Lucy between 1840 and 1850. BMD records return nothing and all I know is that Lucy(from West Dean) and George had 3 children betweenn 1847 and 1850 (Hannah, Samuel and Lucy). By 1851 (census) George had died and Lucy was living as a pauper in Horsham. The children were registered in Brighton however and they could have married there.

I cannot find George's death record either so if anyone can help on either the marriage or death I would be very grateful.

Hi David,

There is a burial on the SFHG records for a George Fiest 12 Sep 1850 St Mary Horsham. Looks like your guy. He was aged 26 so was born about 1824 which might make the marriage between 1842-1850.

He is still single in 1841  (remember ages were rounded up or down)

Hi,

Thanks for the info, quick work. I think George aged 26 is the man and the family of samuel and Charlotte look like the right family as samuel was the name of their first boy. Lucy could be Lucy Albury whose mother was Hannah (the name of their fist girl). Lucy is one of two lucys born in West dean in 1821.

Now to find their marriage.

There's the possibility that they didn't marry.  I've searched FreeBMD & familysearch with no results

Your mention of Lucy Albury means that the following might be the right marriage, plenty of transcription errors.

George Frisk m Lucy Albrey Brighton Q2 1850 Vol 7 Page 410

There is another Albrey on that page as well, Mary, a sister perhaps?

Well, I hadnt spotted that one but it is a possibility, Ill do a bit more on Familysearch to see if Lucy Albury had a sister Mary.

Cheers

Could be an easy transcription mistake, only the r and k are different. e and r are similar as well as t and k.
I have tried to check the census for a George Frisk but Ancestry looks to be down for searching.

I found Mary Albury who looks to be Lucy's younger sister. I have ordered the death ceritificate for George and I think I will go for the Frisk marriage cert as well. Good hunting and thank you very much
