Title: Marriage Sarah Bennett and George Cassum
Post by: dutch missmarple on Monday 21 September 20 12:44 BST (UK)
Hi all,

they were married 23 Oct 1798 in Luddesdown.
I know they had 4 children:

Sarah 1799
Philis 1800
Sarah 1807
Charlotte 1810

George died 1813


questions: who were the parents of Sarah ? Think she was born 1778-1780
did Sarah have any siblings ?

Thank you

Just realised Colin has slightly different date for James, 25/06/1776
Maybe image was hard to read.
