Any help appreciated.

When a marriage says "of Hellingly" that simply means where he is residing at the time, and where the banns will be called.
Doesn't mean he was born there ;D

Would you check the dates please, and the locations - Laughton is a different parish to Chiddingly. And it would have been illegal for Ann to marry at age 10!

It is possible that Ann Vine daughter of Thomas & Mary baptised in Chiddingly in 1662 was buried in Laughton in 1665 :(
So you are possibly looking for another Ann Vine.
She might be the daughter of Richard Vine baptised at St John sub Castro in Lewes 7 Nov 1647. That would fit much better with a 1673 marriage - and even better it might be in her own native parish.

Sorry - looks like that one died soon after birth :(
This is a difficult period for English parish registers due to the civil war - not all events were recorded.

Many thanks to you both.
I am aware that Hellingly may not be where he was born at all.
And yes I had thought she was rather young, I think 12 was the age at that time.
Clearly need to find another marriage.... and birth etc.
Thanks for your help.
Blimey the sun has appeared.

What I really need to find then is
the birth of William, somewhere I saw that he was born in Sussex, but of course coulld have been Surrey.

The marriage licence for James and Ann in 1673 may provide a clue worth following. The other bondsman is named as John Eston of Wartling. Ann's parish of residence is recorded as Laughton.
So perhaps pursue Vine families in Laughton - maybe reconstruct the family groups, look at wills if any exist. I don't know what gaps there might be in the register.
No sign of William's baptism in Worth. :-\
Interestingly there is a baptism of a John Eason son of Richard Eason in Ifield 9 March 1672/73, but no William. There is a gap in the transcriptions between 1653 and 1670 with one isolated baptism in 1662.

Thanks for that I now think I have made a big big mistake so I am trying to ensure I know exactly where William was born. I think his parents were John (of Battle) and Anne (Fuller a widow).

Were you aware of another William Eson marrying in Epsom in 1701 to an Elizabeth?
Nell

No I wasn't aware of that, I shall check it out.
Many thanks for all your help.
