Another Visit to East Sussex Record Office

If time permits, verification of the two following events would be appreciated:

Christening of William James Sayers, 18 Aug/1832, London Road – Countess of Huntingdon’s, Brighton.

Marriage of Caroline Sayers to George Picknell, 23 July 1843, St. Nicholas, Brighton.

Sorry but could not find a Parish Register transcript for the Countess of Huntingdon, and do not think it was included in the main register of baptisms for Brighton as it only came up with these two near the date you required

William Sayers, son of henry & Ann, Thomas Street, Brighton on 12th July 1829 - Labourer
William Sayers, son of James & Jane, Chapel Street, Brighton on 4th Sept 1836 - Cordwainer.

The marriage index book and the parish register for St Nicholas, Brighton only went up to 1837 - so was unable to check for the marriage of Caroline

Sorry, but have failed you once again

hi Mark

Please can you look in the Hailsham Parish Registers for any CROWHURST or ROADS (RHODES; ROODS) entries in the 1700s?  Also, thanks for offering to look up the SELLENS information that was on your list from last time.

I have completed this, but I now have a lot of typing to do to give you the info, so will post this request in the morning when my fingers have got some life back in them.

Left this request till next till last, but it took so long to complete that I did not leave myself enough time to request the documents for the SELLENS  information you required

Hi there

If I'm not too late is it possible to see if you can have another look for a burial record
for Isaac Smith and Elizabeth Smith after 1862 in Hastings?  When you last
visited the record office it was one on my list but you said as yet you had
been unable to locate it. 

Also I have been hunting low and high for this one a marriage between
William (or Isaac ) Smith and Agnes ?  Possibly 1872 onwards in Hastings, both born according to the 1881 in Hastings.

I checked St Clements up to 1883 for the marriage, but without success and All Saints registers only went up to 1777 from 1559, so was unable to check that register.

Found this burial though

All Saints, Hastings
December 28th 1868, Elizabeth Smith, aged 32 years

hi there Steve

Looking for details from an Archdeaconry of Lewes marriage licence - William Vine and Mary Bradford, 23 May 1803. What I need is everything it contains (if anything!) about William Vine's father (and mother - but I doubt it will go that far) - name, place of origin, age?

The marriage itself took place in Willingdon, so it's possible that the information is in Willingdon parish records rather than the licence. Not sure how the system worked.

24th May 1803 at Willingdon
William Vine of Heathfield and Mary Bradford of Willingdon
by Licence
Witnessed by Ann Chase and Charles Virrell

Working on the above info, I looked in the Heathfield Register for a baptism about 20 years earlier and found this
5th March 1872, William Vine, son of William & Mary
other children to William and Mary included
Mary in 1780
James in 1790
Charlotte in 1799
Charles in 1784
Sarah in 1786
George in 1794
John in 1788
Lydia in 1796

Tried to find a baptism for Mary Bradford in Willingdon - but without success I am afraid

Hope the above helps

hi Debbie

I am desperate to find the baptism of Nellie Ivy Jewhurst so I can ascertain her parents to move further back.She was born in 1898 in Rye.

Sorry Debbie, but the Parish Registers for Rye only went up to 1846, so was unable to complete your query

My apologies

Chris,
Thanks for looking up the Crowhursts and Roads in the Hailsham Parish Register.  I look forward to seeing the information.  Can you keep the SELLENS request on your list for your next visit?

Thanks

Mark

Hi Chris

My lookup is from the Mayfield parish registers.

Thomas Kemp, son of William and Frances Kemp, was baptised on 3 March 1834 along with his three of his younger sisters, Ruth, Hannah and Elizabeth. It was the same day as Elizabeth's marriage to Richard Habens.

Another cousin researching the same family told me that the baptism record also gave the birthdates of the four children.  Thomas' date of birth being 16 Sept 1833. I thought at the time that he must have been a heck of a shock for his parents as they would both have been 58 at the time, 15 years after the birth of their last child!

Thomas 16th Sept 1833
Elizabeth 1st Feb 1805
Hannah 18th Feb 1807
Ruth 1st Mar 1813

3rd March 1834 marriage details correct - Richard Habens and Elizabeth Kemp


What puzzles me is that in William Kemp's will of 1838, he appears to name his children in order of age. Thomas is named as his second son, between William b.1804 and Richard b.1818. Please could you check the baptism record and see if it does indeed give the birthdate of Thomas as 1833? Perhaps my cousin misread the date.

Also, on the Sussex Marriage Index I found a marriage of a Thomas Kemp to Elizabeth Blackman in Mayfield on 26 August 1835. I am thinking that if the birthdate for Thomas I've been given is wrong, then this could well be my Thomas. Could you also check for witnesses of this marriage if you have time please? They may just ring a few bells...

Marriage of Thomas Kemp to Elizabeth Blackman is 5th October 1835 - both of this parish

Baptisms
Nov 19th 1809, Thomas Kemp, son of Mary
Jan 7th 1810, John (aged 2 years 6 months) Kemp, son of Mary

Hope this has not confused you
