Trying to work lines back from William Etherton and Mary Boxall and would appreciate any help and or thoughts. This is what i have found so far:-
15 May 1827 Storrington
William Etherton of this parish bachelor and Mary Boxale of the same parish spinster were married in this church by banns. 3 witnesses Horace Burstow, Elizabeth Etherton, Thomas Battersley
On the 1851 and 1861 census William Etherton's birthplace is Storrington and Mary's birthplace is Lodsworth. William was a Blacksmith.
Mary Etherton (Boxall) died 21st March 1865 aged 61 years at Tower Street, Chichester informant Eliza Allen of Lennox Place, Chichester.
(ETHERTON, MARY 61 GRO Reference: 1865 M Quarter in CHICHESTER Volume 02B Page 265)
William Etherton died 13th March 1880 aged 79 years at Workhouse, Chichester informant William C. Dewey master workhouse chichester
ETHERTON, WILLIAM 79 GRO Reference: 1880 M Quarter in CHICHESTER Volume 02B Page 262
An Ancestry hint is suggesting Mary Boxall's birth date of 4th March 1805 and baptism of 24th March 1805 at Tillington, parents John Boxall and Jane, which would fit in with Mary's age at death. I checked a map for the distance and Lodsworth and Tillington are 2 or 3 miles apart. Also there is a marriage 6 Feb 1803 of John Boxall and Jane Hill at Tillington.
There is a baptism of a William Etherton 6th June 1802 at Storrington parents John Etherton and Catherine. John Etherton and Cathrine Standing married by banns 19 Jul 1786 at Lodsworth. Witnesses James Canner, John Shepherd. The Etherton's seem to have moved from Easebourne to Storrington as per a poor law settlement record dated 28 Jul 1792. 1841 census had John Etherton's occupation as a Smith. Ann listed after him on 1841 maybe a 2nd wife? John's first son John was baptised at Madehurst/Midhurst.
Catherine Etherton Burial 4th April 1829 Storrington St Mary Parish Register.
John Etherton aged 83 years Burial 2 Mar 1843 Storrington. Deaths Registered Jan-Feb-Mar 1843 ETHERTON, JOHN 83 GRO Reference: 1843 M Quarter in THAKEAM UNION Volume 07 Page 355
A John Etherton was baptised 30 Dec 1759 at Greatham, Wiggonholt father Hugh Edderton mother Susan. Alternatively there is an Edmund Etherton who married Elizabeth Todman in 1765 at Easebourne so maybe they are John's parents?
