Gerald, The Sussex Marriage Index CD shows: Thomas to Rebecca Goland on 17/04/1828 in Peasmarsh The disc unfortunately ends at 1837 so there is no info for the 2nd Thomas and like you, I cannot find that marriage...YET. Will keep on looking. Cheers, Brian -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gerald Peskett Sent: 10 November 2012 03:56 To: [email protected] Subject: [SFHG] Wait marriages in Peasmarsh, East Sussex I'm wondering if someone may be able to help me with a couple of marriages, that I can't seem to locate.  I believe they were both in Peasmarsh, East Sussex. The first is of Thomas Wait to a Rebecca ?.  I would assume it to be in the early 1820's as the earliest child I have found to be in 1826. The second is also of a Thomas Wait to a Philadelphia Ann ?.  This I can't find on the IGI or BMD's.  It would be around the mid 1840's as the earliest child I have found was born in 1847. Thanks for anyone able to help.

Jeff, Here in the US I have heard of the same thing occurring a number of times currently. My reason, of course, to ask my question is that I find the burial of a woman in 1648 in London, who would "fit" the person who had married another man, but may have been buried with or the family entered the first married surname instead of the surname of the 2nd husband. I will wait to see if others have any input...and continue to search for the custom of the time and report if I find anything more about this subject.

Keymer baptisms are on the www.familysearch.org web site for the period 1601 to 1886 under Batch C153791 and this should cover the period that you are looking for. If you go in via http://www.archersoftware.co.uk/igi/fs-ssx.htm , you might find it easier to search the specific parish & period. However, Keymer is one of several long, thin parishes on the border of West and East Sussex that stretch away from the north facing slope of the South Downs and are less than a mile in width. In fact, it is my experience that people from Keymer and Clayton, in particular, never seem to know where they were born & baptised when they complete census documents. I have long believed that Keymer, Clayton and Hurstpierpoint form a sort of 'Bermuda Triangle' in Sussex where people seem to disappear. So, if I fail to find someone in Keymer, I immediately check those other two parishes, before looking further afield. As for the burial, Thomas had committed two sins, attempted murder and suicide, so I think that it is unlikely that he would have been given the benefit of a Christian burial in consecrated ground. However, he had to be buried somewhere and the responsibility for his burial would have rested with his parish of settlement. If that was Keymer, he might have been buried in a corner of the churchyard that was unconsecrated. Alternatively, he might have been buried in a civil cemetery and the two nearest to Keymer that were open at the time are the Extra-Mural Cemetery, Lewes Road, Brighton (opened in 1851); and the Borough Cemetery, Lewes Road, Brighton (opened 1857). Both are owned by Brighton & Hove City Council. Best wishes, Marion Woolgar Bognor Regis, West Sussex SFHG Member No: 3323

Thanks to everyone who replied to my Hobden query. I hadn't thought about the suicide being a sin ..makes sense now. I tried to get information on the inquest as his death certificate has the coroner's name on it, but those records were lost. I will contact the Ancestry entry owners but their trees are unsourced. Sandra

Hi Sandra, the trees on Ancestry give a couple of possibilities for his parents and it may be worthwhile making contact to find their proof. As a thought if he committed suicide he probably was not buried in a churchyard so will not show up in the church records. The coroners inquest papers may reveal detail of burial arrangements. Whether ESRO has a copy or the National Archives at Kew I’m not sure, maybe an online search of Kew will give you the answer. Regards, vic, also in Canada.

Hello all, I'm new to this list and live in Canada so can't visit local repositories. I have exhausted the IGI, websites, Ancestry etc. and can't find a baptismal record or evidence for who the parents were of Thomas Hobden born circa 1797-1801 in Keymer.In all UK Census records, he states Keymer as his birthplace, but his age ranges about 5-6 years. He died on the 9th of April, 1865 in Keymer after trying to murder his wife and committing suicide. I have the newspaper article about it. I have all the details of his children and descendants but not his parents. Can someone suggest another source or place I can look? I can't find his burial anywhere either. Regards,Sandra

Hi all Listers I don't know if this has a previous posting, but I have just discovered that findmypast.co.uk is offering free transcripts of the 1911 UK census until the middle of November 2012 - I have given it a thrashing; no sign up - just go for it!!
