Feist/Fiest/Feast family believed from Sussex

[RobHam]

I am quite interested in Georges parents and siblings.

A strange timeing coincidence here,  the last day or two I have George in the 1841,51,61 and 81 census (he lived to a good age) and other data.

A timeline for George seems to be:-
b. about 1793 Beeding
m. first wife - could will be Sarah MOBSBY m. 26 Dec 1818 Henfield.  She must have d. before 1824
m2. second wife - Sarah Searl  m. Storrington 18 Mar 1824
Mary born and c. Beeding 6 Jun1824
Anne born and c. Storrington 16 Jul 1826
Second wife d. before 1841.
1841 Storrington
1851 Storrington
1861 onwards Southwick

Mary is probably born to second wife from the timings above,  would need death date of first wife as proof.

I haven't looked at the burs. as yet.

There is another generation back.

I have a Francis James FEIST m a Eliza Ann BROOMAN  in 1848
in Brighton. Would they be connected to you ?

Many thanks for these Beeding lookups.   

My intention is to extend some of the families down if possible next week using resources that I have,  perhaps one of the families will link up to Francis and Eliza.

It looks like I have a George Fiest in my family interest too.  Although not yours Robham but for what its worth here's the info.  I have just received some handwritten info from a second cousin, re my Margaret Buckett (1862-1930)(nee Fiest of Tooting), her mother was Mary (but known as Polly) Roberts from Cowfold - died circa 1932, Mary/Polly married George Feist of Lower Beeding. Mary had at least 2 sisters - an older sister Susan Roberts she became Mrs Bradbury and younger Ellen Roberts -became Mrs CS Akehurst. My cousin didn't have any further info on George Fiest and unfortunately no dates.  But given that Mary/Polly's daughter Margaret was circa 1862 would make George at least c 1830-40's.  In your searching have you found any linkages to my George??? I have spelt the Fiest as my cousin spelt it.

I currently have many Fiest families noted on scattered pieces of paper,  all from various sources,  Upper and Lower beeding plus many others,  seems to be very complex but I will beet it some day,  my current mission.   I have some PR fiches comming soon that will hopefully be a step forward.

Have easily found your probable family in the 1881 census
George b. 1843 L Beeding
Mary    b. 1846 L Beeding

Have checked through the 1861 census for Lower Beeding,  some of the folio's seem to be burnt, some have an ink bottle spilt on them,  others are difficult to read,  but there is only one large decipherable family in Lower Beeding
James age 41/47 Cowfold
Mary age 42  West Grinsted
five children all born Lower Beeding (no sign of George but at 18 he may well have moved away,  perhaps to Cowfold district)
This family is mentioned in an earlier mesage of this thread as a possible parents to Margarett.

This could well be George's parents.

Will post up an other info as it comes in.

There is a possibility that Margaret & Henry were married in Fareham in 1885.  There is a John Henry Buckett birth Fareham ref 2b 463.

I have found the probable marriage
Dec 1884 Kensington 1a 188
Henry Buckett
Margaret Feast

Note that the page reference for Henry Buckett is miss transcribed in the freebmd index but shows correctly in the actual page image.

I am trying to trace details of my great grandmother Margaret Feist who I believe was born Horsham Sussex c 1863.  Id like to be able to get a copy of her birth certificate. Can anyone assist please.

I checked through the 1862 birth registration images at freebmd and no sign of the birth registration.   Unfortunately the images for 1863 are missing from the freebmd site.

http://www.1837online.com  may well have the required page images for 1863,  a site with a small charge but there is a very good chance of finding the birth reference.

Thank you RobHam for the info on how to find b. cert for Margaret F. Is it possible to obtain from paying site without putting details of credit info onto the net? I haven't been game to do that after hearing all the horror stories of fraud continually being aired in our newspapers here in Oz.
