Penfolds in Ifield

[Vanhenry]

Hi,
Can anyone give me any information about a William Penfold who was baptised in Ifield in 1725, his parents being Thomas and Mary Penfold.  I believe he may have married a Jane Mann, born 1733, and had a son, Edward, born in 1768.

As far as I have been able to tell, the family, or some of it, continued to live in Ifield until at least the 1880s.

Many thanks
Vanhenry

Thank you all for this information which has opened up a lot for me to think about.  With regard to the other baptisms, it looks as if I may have confused the Edward baptised in 1768 with Edmond.  I shall have to go back and reconsider what I thought I knew about the family.

Edward/Edmond are both variations of the same name and either can be used.

There is also a EDWARD Penfold Bapt 19 Jun 1768 Shipley to JOHN/SARAH
He may have married Mary ETHERIDGE 13 Oct 1796 same place.
He appears to have died there and buried 21 Jun 1832 age 64 (1768)

I presume yours married 12 Sep 1798 Ifield to Frusnnah BROWN

She was buried as Frusanna Penfold 27 Nov 1812 Ifield age 33 (1779)
Edwards burial was 27 Jan 1820 Ifield age 52 (1768) under PINFOLD on FreeREG

Hi Trish

Many thanks for all this further information.  I have been looking at what I have and am now beginning to wonder if I went astray somewhere so I am having to check everything.

I am sure that my Edward Penfold, my great-great-great grandfather, is the one who married Frusanna, or possibly, Susannah, Brown as his son Edward and his wife Elizabeth Booker named one of their ten daughters Frusanna. The Edward who came from Shipley therefore seems unlikely so I do  think that he may have been baptised Edmond, which is very confusing.

I will go on thinking about this and thank you for your help.
