I am trying to find the record of the marriage of my 3xgreat grandfather Edward Marchant and his wife Sarah. She was probably born between 1771 and 1774 and her birthplace is given as Worth on the 1851 census. She died in 1856. I have no information at all about Edward except that he was an ag. lab. who pre-deceased her.
I think the marriage would probably have taken place in the Worth/ Ardingley/ Cuckfield area between 1790 and 1799. I have found one in Cuckfield in 1798 of an Edward Marchant and a Sarah Butcher but the children I have found for them do not seem to include my 2xgreat grandfather Henry born about 1805.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Talmage
There are two marriages for an Edward Marchant in that time period, the one you mention and a second on 12 April 1803 to a Sarah Avery.

The only baptism I can find for a Henry Marchant at that time in that area is
Henry Marchant baptised 28 December 1806 to William and Mary Marchant at Bolney. Can I ask where you have the information about Edward and Sarah?

Hi Kerry
Sarah was living with Henry when the 1851 census was taken. Her age then was given as 77 and she was a pauper. I presume that she had gone to live with him to help look after his children as his wife Elizabeth had died during the 1840s leaving him with several quite young children.
I have been able to obtain her death certificate from February 1856 which says that she was the widow of an Edward Marchant, ag lab. and her age is given as 84 which is why I have quite a wide span for her possible date of birth. I had seen the marriage to Sarah Avery but have been in touch with a descendant in Australia and, as far as I can remember, that Sarah died in 1822.
I have also found the baptism of a Henry Marchant in Balcombe (I think) in 1805 or 1806, son of a James and Sarah but I have traced him in the 1881 census and I know that my Henry died in the 1860s.
I am descended from Henry's youngest son Ambrose who married an Emma Ellen Marchant. She was the daughter of Thomas Hugh Marchant and I think they were related but I can fin absolutely no trace of his pbaptism either. It is all very frustrating.
Thank you for your interest.

Hi Talmage
I thought I would check, and it looks like Henry's baptism is amongst records not currently on my resource. I'll try and search from another angle.

Hi Kerry
That certainly looks like a possible death - the age is about right and there was always a story in the family that they came from Cuckfield. Furthermore, both Henry and Thomas Hugh were married in Cuckfield Parish church in the late 1820s.
If you can give me any further information it would be great.

There is a Henry marrying in Bolney in 1833 to a Jane HARMES. A possibility this is the Henry born in Bolney in 1806. They are in Bolney in 1851.
Henry and Elizabeth are in Cuckfield in 1841. 1851 says Sarah is his mother and born Worth, as was Henry.
Not sure if you had seen this

If the info there is correct, then Henry and Thomas Hugh were brothers.

Hi Ian C
Thanks for all the information. I did have records of the two marriages and had also found the family tree in the past and contacted Natalie. Unfortunately, she did not have any proof either but had worked along similar lines to me.
I had worked out that the Edward and Sarah she mentions were possible ancestors but can find no proof. I also think it most likely that Henry and Thomas Hugh were brothers, or at least cousins; TH was a witness at Henry's marriage and his younger daughter married Henry's youngest son, Ambrose. The problem is that I have absolutely no proof of this which is why I am still looking.
Thanks for your interest.

Hi
I notice on the IGI there is this extracted baptism in West Hoathly
Sarah Marchant 16 AUG 1798 parents Edward Marchant and Sarah Died 19 AUG 1798
Then in Cuckfield a submitted entry
Mildred Marchant 01 DEC 1799 parents Edward and Sarah
Then in West Hoathly an extracted entry
Ann Marchant JAN 1803 parents Edward and Sarah
If this is the same couple it fills the gaps a bit. Any sign of Mildred on your fiche Andrea?
Jan 
I can check the fiche and transcripts at the record office but it might not be till late June

Hi Andrea
Thanks for this information. I will have to try and look at the original records for Cuckfield as you suggest.
