Thanks, it's good to see someone else has drawn a blank with finding a second Edmund. I believe Edmund was the son of Thomas Botten / Botting and Sarah and had siblings Charlotte and Edward - maybe others born/ baptised somewhere other than B'hurst. There are settlement / removal orders for a Thomas and wife Sarah between B'hurst and Wisborough Green and a marriage at Wis Green for a Thomas and a Sarah Hews on 13 May 1762.
I have tracked down some of the other children from my original post. Hannah (my person of interest) married William Goodyer at Itchingfield on 25 Dec 1833. Earlier the same year at Itchingfield, brother Thomas married Elizabeth Baker and sister Rebecca married James Sayers, Hannah was witness at both marriages, and William Goodyer was witness at one. Lucy married in Sutton, but died in 1842.
The widowed Elizabeth's illeg child Caroline was buried in Pulborough a few month before Elizabeth was buried in B'hurst.
The putative father was John Marckwick, a bastardy order issued in April 1820, describes Elizabeth as widow of Slinfold. So it looks like the family moved to Slinfold, where Edmund died, body brought to B'hurst for burial. His widow had a relationship with John Markwick, then moved back to pulborough, where Caroline died and was buried. When Elizabeth died in Pulborough her body was buried in B'hurst presumably with Edmund.
There are also a number of boarding and apprentice agreements for some of the children, referring to them as poor children in the 1820's.
