Hi Yes I was hoping for further confirmation via parish records to confirm what is on the IGI. ( If it is possible)
Due to the help of many kind others, I now think that David Willsher came from Hooe, Sussex not Hove. The 1881 census is the only one that states Hove. The 1851, 1861 and 1871 census all give Hooe.
His marriage in Ticehurst, East Sussex Date: 4 Jun 1839 to Charlotte Hart states from he is a bachelor from Hastings and that his father is deceased.
So I am not sure where to go from here?
I am trying to see/prove that there is or not a link between the 2 Willshers lines that I now have in my family tree. But i need to track down David's Father and grandfather ( If it is possible) to do that.
Other children listed as John Wiltshire bapt 3rd July 1806, Thomas Willsher (Wiltshire) bapt 17th July 1804, Sarah Willsher born 8th Oct 1809 and George Willsher bapt 22nd may 1814 all Hooe SSX
Can't see a contact address unfortunately - don't you just hate that!
Anyway, it might be useful
Sounds like the family you're researching - take a look
