Sussex / Re: Wanting William's birth and his death.

I know this is a while back that you posted this but this identification may need further consideration.

Joan Newman (Burges) WIFE OF WILLIAM died 21 July 1624

The parish register only says that the wife (note not widow) of William Newman was buried on that day - it doesn't give her name.  Joan would also have been extremely old (in her 90s) at that date and that might (but not always) have merited a comment in the register. I'd be inclined to think that she died much earlier and this is the wife of another William Newman.  In fact I think this record might have been the burial of Margaret who was wife of William Newman.  He made a will dated 1623, but did not die until April 1625.

This map may assist:

It shows the college and the Governor's House as well as the laundry.  There is just a farm marked, not specifically Old Farm, which I can't see anywhere.  :-\

The description of the enumeration district shows the following:
All that remaining part of the parish of Sandhurst comprising the houses and cottages around the Royal Military College & the Village of Sandhurst round Sandhurst Church and Sandhurst Lodge south & south west of the Public Road & Footpath leading from the Wellington Arms Public House in a northwest direction on to the Wokingham Road thence to the extreme boundary of the parish nearly close to the Wellington College Station

Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: Monumental Inscriptions for St Nicholas Brighton Churchyard - GUILFORD family
« on: Thursday 28 March 24 21:44 GMT (UK)  »
There are virtually no grave markers in the churchyard, only large chest tombs are still in place.  Unfortunately, a trip to look for stones may be pointless.

The record office at Lewes closed over ten years ago and the records were transferred to the Keep.

Are you looking for any particular Guilford names?

John Earl of Huntingdon was younger than his sister Isabel.  He was born around 1206/07.  He died in 1237.

Perhaps he did not die in Derby but elsewhere and he was buried in Derby.  Deaths are registered in the district in which they occur.

Could this be him?
