Dear Sussex Rootschatters
I'd welcome your thoughts about the following conundrum please. Basically, am I justified in thinking that these people are all part of one happy family?
All the following records are taken from the SFHG Sussex Marriage Index and the Data Archive, but I have not looked at the actual registers.
9 October 1780 St. Mary Udimore - John Barnet GONTER (sic) married Hannah REEVES botp
Baptism in Udimore
14 October 1783 Elizabeth BARNET/Elizabeth GUNTER d. of John GUNTER & Hannah BARNET
Burials in Udimore – none relevant
Baptisms in Peasmarsh
21 November 1784 William son of John & Hannah BARNET
29 January 1786 John son of John Gunter BARNET & Hannah BARNET

14 August 1791 Hannah GUNTER daughter of John GUNTER & Hannah Barnet GUNTER
1 December 1805 Mahala Neeves BARNETT baseborn child of Sarah BARNETT
Marriages in Peasmarsh
2 June 1805 – Elizabeth Barnett GUNTER m. William HOOK
12 June 1813 – Hannah BARNETT m. Richard HOOK, widower
Burials in Peasmarsh
12 December 1829 Hannah BARNETT aged 76 (therefore born 1752/3)

No GUNTER burials
Apart from her baptism there is no other record of a Sarah GUNTER in Peasmarsh.
I'd be grateful to know what you think.
Thanks,
Melbell
