I am resending this query - seems it was sent before I finished what I wanted to know because none of the baptisms & marriages are on the IGI. I have been working on my Couzen family tree. My 7 gg, John Couzens appears in Havant for sure with his burial 8 Oct 1701 but I do not know where John came from. His baptism/marriage is not on the IGI. ( I have the following generations down to the present.) My 6gg is John Cosens (& variants!) baptism is also not on IGI. He married Mary POLLINGTON 4 Sep 1699 at Portsmouth. Their 1st child is born in Havant 1702. So both father John and son John seem to first appear in Havant by 1701. Query 1 : Is Mary Pollington baptised in Portsmouth - is it possible to get b/m/d for 1670 - 1750? Query 2: Are there Couzens (and variants) also at Portsmouth/Portsea during the 1670's -1750's? It seems many people married at Portsea or Portsmouth but they are not from that parish. Do they usually marry in the wife's parish?
