Stephen Eastwood of Burwash/ Etchingham

[Carbar]

I am looking at the family of George Eastwood (b 1726 Burwash) & Elizabeth Tindall (b1759 Dallington). Their son Henry (Harry) is my great x 4 grandfather, married to Ruth Rummery (B 1804 Heathfield - another brick wall so far - parents/ siblings as yet unidentified). I have been looking at Henry's siblings & am struggling with his brother Stephen. Stephen was baptised 23 March 1794 in Burwash. On looking to see if he married, I found several Stephen Eastwoods of similar age & location. looking at trees on ancestry, several different stephens have been attributed with the same wife so obviously not checked properly.  I have found a Stephen married 16 feb 1821 to Elizabeth Hyland (this wife seems to be claimed by most of the trees!) & a Stephen married 8th feb 1807 Burwash to Jane Davis - this is not the Stephen in my tree as he was still a child at the time of this marriage. The Stephen married to Elizabeth Hyland is of the the right possible age but I am not sure that it is the right Stephen either. It is possible the Stephen I am looking at didn't marry at all.  I have a possible death for him in 1869 in Ticehurst but again this could be for any of the Stephens!!
Thank you

Hi
Thank you, I have prematurely aged George, his baptism was 1st Feb 1762 not 1726!! he was 28yrs when he married. He was 37yrs when son Henry was born.

Thanks again - I think he was the infant that died in 1795.

Hi Carbar

I have George Eastwood in my family tree.  George's sister Hannah married a Thomas Pilbeam and were my 5x great grandparents.

I don't have a son, Stephen for George and Elizabeth Tindall, the children I have for them are:

Anne, Mary, Thomas, John, Henry and Elizabeth.

I need to go and have another look.  I have the Stephen who died in 1795 as the son of Samuel Eastwood, brother to George.  Baptised 6 May 1795 and buried 24 May 1795.

Hi Kerry

while trying to find info re the various Stephen Eastwoods, I found several trees that had Samuels son Stephen, baptised 6th May 1795, as marrying Elizabeth Hyland on 16th Feb 1821. My thoughts were that is was either Samuels son or George's son that married Elizabeth Hyland but I think it was probably Samuels.
