Hi Carol, I looked in the 1861 census and there is a Richard Funnell, widower, who fits living with a son and his family in St Nicholas Parish. Could Henry be Richard Henry Funnell, perhaps he was baptized with that name? It might be worth checking for the death of a Richard Funnell. His birth date is listed as 1779 but it is close enough to be a maybe. Also I wondered if you are aware that several people have listed Henry in their family trees on Ancestry. It seems Dedemiah/Deddemeir'd name was Deborah Dedemiah Delila Burtonshaw. If you would like the e-mail addresses of the name on Ancestry please let me know. I would be happy to send them to you.

Is there anyone out there who can help me please? I'm trying to find the death of my ancestor HENRY FUNNELL I know that he was born in 1775 in Rodmell, I do know that his burial is often recorded as being on 9 July 1864, but I have been unable to find any records to confirm this. Both him and his wife, Deddemeir, are living in Brighthelmstone in both the 1841 & 1851 census, Deddemeir died 7 Feb 1855 in Brighton, unfortunately her death record does not actually indicate if Henry was alive or not at the time, all it says is 'Wife of Henry Funnell a Blacksmith', although the 1851 census records him as being a Coal Merchant. I have been unable to find him in the 1861 census. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
