Thomas Breeding

[trish1120]

Cant see a bapt for Thomas in the right time frame.

For future ref this is the Nicholas/Sarah you referrred to earlier;

Sal BOTCHLY
Nicolas BREEDEN married 10 Apr 1749 St Mary, Balcombe
Nicholas of Cuckfield and Sal of the Parish

Cant see any children to them with my resources.

Thank you, I'll write it down, maybe there's a connection somehow and somewhere

Ok found CHARLES Breeding 30 May 1773

As Charles was the name of the first son, it sent me looking for another Charles, and it seems to be a less common first name back then than John, William, etc.
There was a couple called Charles and Susan(na/nah) Breaden who had children baptized in Thakeham in the 1770's and 1780's, though the first child (James) was at Warminghurst in 1769 (and looks like an Emmanuel was baptized there in 1784)

Marriage, 20 July 1769, Warminghurst, Charles Brading + Susannah Soutter

Could this Thomas be a candidate?
He is baptized around the right time.

Edmund Brethen + Sarah Pell

It's possible that the Charles Breaden in Thakeham married to Susan might have been be a sibling of the Thomas baptized in January 1750/1!

FreeReg has a baptism at West Chiltington, 1 Mar 1746/47
Charles (son of) Edmund + Sarah Brother
https://www.freereg.org.uk/search_records/581802f8e93790eca3531cf1

Reasonable date, given the age on the burial in 1828 in Thakeham of the elderly Charles.

Also a daughter Mary baptized to Edmund and Sarah, 19 Feb 1748/49

Sadly I don't have 24/7 access to the wonderful Sussex PR images on ancestry, but from the image of the BT on FamilySearch the name looks more like Brethen than Brother to me
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-6MZ3-54Q

Ditto Mary, Brethen
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-6MZ3-YL5

Uh oh
Thomas looks like James on the BT
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-6MZ3-1YP?

[jonwarrn]

Well it's Thomas in the parish register, for sure
Indexed on FS
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QJDX-9DYP

Looking at the image again
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-D1F1-KZ

Baptized in 1750
Starting with twins on 17 April

Further down
Thomas Son of Edmund & Sarah Brethen, Jany: 13th

But it says James on the BT. Hopefully just a copying error! But naughty.

[EllenBan]

Amazing new information! I will look more into it, one son of Thomas Breeden,Breaden,Breeding was baptised as Craven Breathing, so very close to BRETHEN.

There could be a connection 

The baptism looks definitley like James not Thomas

[jonwarrn]

Hi
I have got hold of the digital image of the parish register (attached), and he is Thomas on that.
It looks like James on the bishop's transcript, but I think we have to go with the PR as the BT is a copy.

There are a couple of Edmund Breaden baptisms in Pulborough, which is very close to Thakeham and West Chiltington. One in 1715 and one in 1716.
Perhaps one of those is the Edmund Brethen who married Sarah Pell in 1746?
