    3. Hi all, for a long time now I have been trying to find my 4th great grandfathers birth certificate or any info on his parents. His Name is Philip Wright and he was a Verger at the Sub Deanery of St.Peter The Great, Chichester Cathedral, West Sussex, UK. The only information I have is as follows:12/03/1777 marriage between Philip Wright from Burwash married Ann Hasler at Rumboldswhyke Parish Church, the witnesses were John Habin and Sarah Francies. I cannot find his Birth Certificate so I assume he was born in Burwash. East Sussex until I know further. Philip was the Verger of the Sub Deanery of St. Peter the Great, Chichester Cathedral, Sussex, England. He died sometime in 1808 and he is buried in what is called "Paradise" in the Cathedral Cloisters. He lived in the Cathedral Close with his family, his wife Ann and their three children Ann, Philip and George. He was born around 1750. I have emailed the Cathedral sometime in the middle of last year but have not heard from them since. I would like to know where he was born and his father and mother. If anybody can help or suggest where I go from here please do. Much appreciated Mike.
