I thing it more likely to be Stambourne if it's in Essex, there is this birth in Bocking which is about 12 miles from Stambourne.

Isaac Brown. b 03 Oct 1792, baptised 25 Dec 1792. St Mary the Virgin. Bocking. Essex.
father David,  mother Susanna.

Sandon is a small village just off junction 17 of the A12 in Essex, adjacent to Great Baddow and close to Danbury.

I found that baptism at Bocking, it seems it's in the right time frame but the names of his parents (& some siblings) just don't fit at all. Isaac didn't name any of his children David or Susanna and neither of those names have been carried forward to future generations so I'm just not sure now.

However, I have had a bit of a breakthrough in a marriage I found between William Brown bachelor of Stambourn and Sarah Titterill spin on 5 Apr 1774 at Castle Hedingham, St Nicholas.

Sarah Tittrell IS a name Isaac gave to one of his daughters so things are looking up, a long way to go yet. Castle Hedingham is next on the list to look at!

I'm so very thankful for everyone's help, without it I would still be floundering as I live in NZ and have never been to the UK.

Cheers....Dawn

A lot of my ancestors came from Halstead and Castle Hedingham area, I found the records are quite well documented online, good luck.

Not sure if it is going to help or confuse the issue, but there is a Sunborn Festival in Essex;

This might be worth trying:

The difficult bit is knowing exactly what to search for, assuming 'Sunborn' is a corruption  :-\

Just noticed your last post re Stambourn so possibly not needed now
