[Shazzam]

Can anyone help the the marriage of William Burgess to Frances . . . probably in Ore, where their children were born, about 1818.

Thanks.

Hi again

Do you mean these children; all in Ore Church

5th Dec 1819, William Burgess
7th July 1822, Mary Burgess
7th August 1825, Harriett Burgess
5th Oct 1828, Samuel
3rd Apr 1821, Samuel Burgess
2nd Feb 1834, Charlotte Burgess

All children of William & Frances, Labourer of St Mary-in-the-Castle parish.

They must have had relatives in Ore to keep returning to that chuch to have the children baptised.

Thanks Chris,

Yes, they are the children, but I wasn't convinced about that marriage . . . Lewes seemed a long way from Ore, so I checked the census records and discovered the family in Hollington in both 1851 & 1861. 

William Burgess was born about 1787 in Westfield and Frances about 1789 in London.  They also had a son, John, born about 1818 in Westfield so it seems the marriage was before 1818.

I found one for a William Burgess on 23 Aug 1811 in Brede to Frances Stemp, which may be the right one, but I'd like to find a few more children born 1811-1817 to confirm it. 

I guess I need the 1841 census for this.

Hi Chris,

Yes, it's a big help.  Like I said, you're a real gem.  Thanks sooo much!

Is the 1841 Census on line?

Shaz

Hi Shaz

No, the 1841 census is not yet on line.

But I understand that Ancestry.com are working on it and it should be on line sometime this year

Glad to have been of help to you

Hi there - I'm new to this forum, so have only just found your posting.
I'm descended from Frances Stemp's elder brother Joseph.
Frances did marry William Burgess in Brede.  Frances was baptised in St Andrew's Holborn, London on 21 March 1790.
Her parents, Samuel Stemp and Susanna Ireland were living in Eyre Street Clerkenwell with their first child, Joseph (my great great grandfather), when Frances was born.
They moved back to Hollington before the third child, Maria, was born.
