Hi Darren

I was hoping you might be able to help me fill in some details regarding the parents of my GGGG Grandfather George Stace who was christened on the 4 November 1804 in Heathfield, Sussex.  I know there names were George and Mary but not any of their BMD details.  Could you please check the Heathfield Parish records for their marriage details and potentially also for their birth details?  

Any help in uncovering another generation in my family history would be greatfully received.

I checked the Baptisms in Heathfield Register between 1751 and 1818 and found the following which is the only Stace family listed during this period.

Nov 4th 1804, George Stace, son of George & Mary
Apr 5th 1807, Mary Stace, dau of George & ?
Dec 20th 1807, Sophia Stace, dau of George & Mary (Aged 5 Years)
Mar 15th 1812, Susanna Stace, dau of George & Mary
May 19th 1816, Martha Stace, dau of George & Mary, Labourer
Jul 26th 1818, Sarah Stace, dau of George & Mary, Labourer

There were no marriages of a Stace in Heathfield between 1780 and 1812

but there was this in Arlington and according to the sussex marriage index is the only George Stace marrying a Mary during this period

Location: Arlington, East Sussex,  Date: 24 Mar 1796:
Groom: George STACE, of this parish
Bride: Mary ALLCHIN, West Firle
Married by Licence

I had a look in the Burial Registers to see if Stace was a common name in Heathfield - only four entries in 60 years between 1754 and 1813

25th Jan 1774 - John Stace was buried
24th Jul 1764 - Thomas
14th July 1763 - Mary, wife of Thomas
3rd Dec 1754 - Mary, wife of John

Its my opinion that George and Mary married elsewhere and moved to heathfield where they possibly had relations and had the rest of their children there.
Possibly a look in the Arlington register for earlier children might throw a bit more light on this

Hope the above is usefull

Hi Margaret

Can u help me too pls.  Just discovered my Grandad Herbert William Sennitt died in Easbourne on 30.12.1930.  I have the certificate, but need to know if he was actually married to his 'Widow' E. Sennitt as he left my Nan for another woman and if i am right she would not divorce him and was apparently notified when he died (I think) as next of kin.  Is there any way of finding out if he had any more children with this lady or if he left a will, which might throw some insight into it.  He lived at 76 Pevensey Rd. Eastbourne but died at 123 Church St. Eastbourne. I have been on to all the sites but can only find him and my dad, who had the same name. Hope u can help, thanx a lot.

Sorry Margaret, the info you require is too modern for the record office in Lewes - I think a better bet might be the Library in Eastbourne

Greetings Chris,
  Thank you so much for researching. Trust this William to remain difficult.
   I will have to follow up  with that baptism you found.

        I sure appreciate your kind offers.

hi Kay

Please could you look up in their index of baptism for 2 people.

all Thomas RICHARDSON b 1735 - 1747  

all Elizabeth BROOKER b abt  1735 - 1747

I know this couple married 15 Apr 1766. Plumpton. and they had childen in Alciston and Street but it would be useful to know if there were many other Thomas Richardson's  born around this time so i can try and work out who his parent were.
i am guessing that they were about 20yrs old when they married

Sorry, but it is not possible to do a blanket search of Sussex for a baptism - you have to go through every church register which would have been very time consuming.

Found these in the Baptism Register
21st May 1769, Sarah Richardson, dau of Thos & Elizabeth
5th May 1771, Ann Richardson, dau of Thos and Elizabeth
18th Sep 1774, Samuel & Thomas, Twin sons of Thos and Elizabeth
30th Mar 1777, William Richardson, son of Thos and Elizabeth
6th Jun 1779, Elizabeth, dau of Thos and Elizabeth

Found these in the Streat Baptism Registers
12th Jun 1737, Elizabeth Brooker, dau of Benajah and Elizabeth
12th May 1739, Mary, ditto
14th Feb 1741, Sarah, ditto
10th July 1742, Ann, ditto
17th Feb 1744, Susanna, ditto
24th May 1747, Jane, ditto
7th Jan 1748, ?, ditto
17th Feb 1752, Thomas, ditto

Also noticed this one marriage

William Arnold of Chailey and Susan Brooker on 28th Oct 1766

Hope some of the above helps you

hi Kay

Please could you also check the index to Baptims for
William RICHARDSON.
he was born about 1836 in Lewes area according to 1861, 71 & 81 census. His marriage cert states his father was a Richard Richardson
Unfortunatly I cannot find him on the 1851 to confirm this

According to the Baptism index of Lewes which in this case seems to cover most of Lewes, there is only i entry in 1836 of a William Richardson as follows:

St John the Baptist, Southover
27th March 1836,
William Richardson, son of - and Elizabeth, Servant & Spinster

the next entry for a William was in 1846, son of Robert and Mary

Hope the helps, but somehow I dont think so

yes please

It is likely to be mid to late September, but a reminder from yourself for me to ask for the records to be brought to the RO would then have plenty of time to be actioned

Sorry I could not do it today
