Hi
I have some very tantalising snippets of information but nothing is coming together at the moment and I'm hoping someone is able to help me.
My great x 4 Grandmother was Sophia Eastted. I believe she was born in 1783 (she died in 1867 aged 84)
The only census of any help to me is the 1851 one. This states that she was born in Greenwich but I'm not sure how accurate this is as she was also living in Greenwich at the time. Unfortunately by 1861 she was living in Woolwich and that census is missing I've been told.
What I would really like to do is find out who her parents were, but I am also trying to find a link to her and Sarah Eastted (born c1772) Sarah married Thomas Anthony and I have been told that their daughter's grandmother (so could be either Sarah or Thomas' mother) was the sister of Thomas Guy - founder of Guys hospital. This is really fascinating but I don't want to get all excited about this only to find out that there is no family connection :D
However if there is a connection, it may be that my gr 4 grandmother was also related to Emma Elizabeth Eastted who was the mother of a peruvian diplomat!!
Is anyone able to help me confirm whether Sarah and Sophia are sisters so I can really start digging away at this information
Thank you for taking the time to read this long post :D

Hi Celia
Thanks for you reply.
The marriage of Sophia Eastted and John Dorbon is where it all started when I began researching the Dorbon line - my Grandfather's maternal line.
I did find the marriage for Sarah and John as well as the birth of Emma but I can't tie it all in. I believe Sophia and Sarah could be sisters. I know they are definitely connected some how as I found a census entry for one of the grandchildren of Sarah and Thomas living with the Dorbon family and recorded as a cousin - but I still cant find the connection.
I need to trace the elusive baptism records for both Sophia and Sarah I think before I can go any further - you'd think with an unusual name such as this that it wouldnt be such a mammoth task! :D
Thank you once again for your help

William Eastted married to Harriet on the 1861 census was in Willesden. Harriet and her daughter Elizabeth Emma were in Great Malvern Worcestershire on the 1851 census. William gave his birthplace on the 1861 census as East Wellow Hampshire circa 1807.
He was baptised there as William Easted 23rd July 1806 the son of John and Mary. Two other older siblings Elizabeth and John were also baptised in East Wellow - the surname was consistently spelt as Easted on these baptisms, so the extra t may have arrived later for William and his family. Easted seems the more common spelling.
William and Harriett were a wealthy couple - landowners and wine merchants. Brother John on the 1861 census was in Portchester Hampshire a farmer of 312 acres. His unmarried sister was living with his family - the surname was spelt as Easted.
A possible marriage for William and Harriett
WILLIAM EASTED
HARRIET ALCOCK
Marriage: 10 JUN 1835 Saint Giles, Camberwell, Surrey
Thomas Guy's dates are 1644/5-1724
His younger and only sister Ann married 16th November 1667 in Tamworth Warwickshire John Varnam, so you would expect any children Ann had, would have been born in the C17th not the C18th.
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/greenhall/tht/history/Guy.htm
However Thomas Anthony married Sarah Eastted at the end of the C18th in 1792 so the dates for a direct connection to Ann Varnam of mother to either Sarah or Thomas don't add up taking about 25 years to roughly represent a generation.
THOMAS ANTHONY
SARAH EASTTED
Marriage: 08 APR 1792 Saint Paul, Deptford, Kent
Have you been able to find Sarah on a census?
HENRY ANTHONY
Christening: 18 MAR 1801 St Mary, Rotherhithe, London

Father: THOS. ANTHONY
Mother: SARAH
HENRY EASTTED ANTHONY
Christening: 05 MAY 1802 St Mary, Rotherhithe, London
Age at Christening: 1
Father: THOMAS ANTHONY
Mother: SARAH
Henry was the father of Robert Anthony, the Anthony cousin with the Dorbins on the 1871 census. Henry on the 1861 census was a pork butcher. He is the only 'Anthony' born Rotherhithe showing on censuses.
JOHN BATELY ANTHONY
Christening: 16 SEP 1804 St Mary, Rotherhithe, London

Father: THOMAS ANTHONY
Mother: SARAH
JOSEPH JAMES ANTHONY
Christening: 06 MAR 1807 St Mary, Rotherhithe, London

Is Bately used as a middle name significant? Did it occur in the Dorbin family as well?
