Marriage - Thomas Sturt and Mary Stanford 10/2/1808 Slinfold SFHG marriage index. Tess Spencer 11414 -----Original Message----- From: sussex-plus-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:sussex-plus-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Ros Dunnico Sent: 03 March 2008 09:53 To: SUSSEX-PLUS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [SXP] Sturts of Billingshurst and Rotherfield Hi, Can somebody help, please. I have two THOMAS STURTs. One was born about 1770 in Billingshurst (as shown on 1851 census) and believe he could be the son of Edward and Rachel Sturt. I cannot find a marriage for Edward and Rachel. Thomas married Elizabeth Field in 1795 in Rudgwick. The other Thomas was born about 1779 in Rotherfield (1851 census) and married Mary ? No marriage found for them. Both these Thomas's settled and had families in either Rudgwick or Slinfold. There are also connections to Billingshurst and Horsham. I think they are related because their childrens names are very similar, but need to find their parents and possibly grandparents to prove it. I have found on A2A a disturbing reference to a John Sturt of Billingshurst in 1721 and the Horsham Baptist Chapel. So could they have been Baptists? Any help would be appreciated. Ros in Essex. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SUSSEX-PLUS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
