All help very gratefully received.

i am dutch and looking for information about SUSANNA QUINNELL born probably on 17 march 1822, i have a sampler from 1836 which she made age 14, there is also a unknown inscription:
mdaysoch yocn?, the sampler has a big house in the middle, i can send pictures if any one wants to see them

Hi

Welcome to Rootschat

If you are sure that Susanna was born in Sussex you could start a new thread,including pictures of the sampler, on the general Sussex board
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?board=37.0

Or you could start a thread in the Common Room
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?board=46.0

Either way I am sure you will attract a lot of interest The inscription sounds like it could be Welsh

Hello

I am trying to find the surname of Sarah, Mother of Newman Batman, Christened at St Mary's Funtington, Sussex.

05/07/1806 Newman John Sarah BATMAN

I'd be delighted if you could help me find the marriage of John and Sarah.

Thank you

[sillgen]

The Sussex Marriage Index has one possible marriage in that time frame.  John Batman of Chichester, St Peter the Great, to Sarah Guard at Buriton Hampshire 2 April 1804.
Maybe worth thinking about.  Did they have other children?  Presumably the Newman is a surname from somewhere in the past.

[Battie99]

Hello, thanks for that Chichester is very likely.  Newman had siblings born in Funtington but there are so many John Batmans about.  Maybe there are more siblings earlier than 1806. Does the marriage index register have their dates of birth and parents?

also could you just confirm were they married at Buriton or Chichester, thank you so much.
