Hi there,
Is anyone researching BROWN's or TURK's in East Sussex pre 1830's??
Main areas seems to be Burwash, Buxted, Withyham...
Any info would be most welcome!
Thanks

Hi Jane, Thanks for your kind offer...
How did i know you'd say there are plenty of Browns ?! 
Ok the earliest known people i have are:
Thomas BROWN and his wife Sarah TURK. They married on 25th April 1831 in Withyham.
Thomas had a brother William and he too was also married by 1838 when they came to Australia. (Both families traveled on the same ship). I dont know Williams wife's name.
I know Thomas was born in Burwash in 1806 and Sarah in Buxted, 1811.
I'm more interested in their families ie. who their siblings were etc.
Ive been given a marriage of James BROWN and Mary RUSSELL in whom i believe are Tom's parents. (Names are listed on his death certificate)
The only indication of Sarah's parents is her father Thomas TURK.
I know Brown is a terrible name to research but i thought id give it a go!!
Thanks again for any info given
BC

Hi This looks to be the marriage of Thomas & sarah.
Extract from the Sussex Marriage Index:
Place: Withyham, East Sussex, Date: 25 Apr 1831:
Subject: Thomas BROWN
Spouse: Sarah TURK, botp
This might be his brother's marriage, but I doubt it as Willaim is from Middlesex.
Extract from the Sussex Marriage Index:
Place: Withyham, East Sussex, Date: 31 Aug 1823:
Subject: William BROWN, Marylebone MDX.
Spouse: Frances JENKINS, otp
This one is more likely & lucky you, you have the license details!
Extract from the Sussex Marriage Index:
Place: Archdeaconry of Lewes Marriage Licence, Date: 16 Nov 1825:
Subject: William BROWN, bach 29+ Buxted
Spouse: Sarah HOATH, sp 26+ Withyham
Extract from the Sussex Marriage Index:
Place: Withyham, East Sussex, Date: 17 Nov 1825:
Subject: William BROWN, Buxted
Spouse: Sarah HOATH, otp (lic)
This is another but unlikely.
Extract from the Sussex Marriage Index:
Place: Withyham, East Sussex, Date: 11 Oct 1833:
Subject: William BROWN
Spouse: Susanna PARIS, botp
This is your lucky day, James was in the militia, more to look up.
Extract from the Sussex Marriage Index:
Place: Salehurst, East Sussex, Date: 17 May 1799:
Subject: James BROWN, Sussex Militia
Spouse: Mary RUFSELL, (B)
This might be sarah's parents, there are others (3/4) but this is the only one in Buxted.
Extract from the Sussex Marriage Index:
Place: Buxted, East Sussex, Date: 13 Jan 1793:
Subject: Thomas TURK
Spouse: Mary PAGE, botp (B)
