Bob Have you looked at the records of the Parish Register Transcription Society. Their data these days is online at http://prtsoc.frontis.com Parish registers at that date rarely had the name of the mother and you will possibly need to look for a suitable marriage for William. Alternatively did William leave a will on his death as that may also mention his wife Regards John Hanson Researcher, The Halsted Trust Website - www.halstedresearch.org.uk -----Original Message----- From: sussex-plus-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:sussex-plus-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of bob.newell@ntlworld.com Sent: 10 May 2014 14:23 To: Sussex rootsweb site Subject: [SXP] Wife of Will Newell Easebourne Sussex Hi, looking for some help or direction in finding the parents of an ancestor Robert NEWELL born/Christened 29 Oct 1758 in Easebourne Sussex, son of Will Newell.
