Hi,

I am researching the family of Ann Garton  who married John Beeching at Wisborough Green 29 Oct 1778. Ann would seem to be the daughter of Josiah Garton and Sarah Goodwin who married 17 Nov 1747 also Wisborough Green.  Her father Josiah was a butcher and I believe died about 1781. I have no idea who his parents were but the best current prospects are John Garton and Elizabeth Hammond of Billingshurst.  Her mother Sarah is also a bit of a mystery. There is a marriage recorded in the Sussex Marriage Index, 10 May 1781, between Sarah Garton widow and Richard Puttock widower. I also have notes of a monumental inscription in the Wisborough Green Church Yard which is for Sarah Garton wife of Josiah Garton who "departed this life 18th July 1769 age 55 years". I am not aware of another Sarah and Josiah Garton in Wisborough Green, so have always thought this MI was for Sarah Goodwin. The marriage record to Richard Puttock puts a big question mark in that theory unless there was another Sarah Garton. Can anyone help me sort this out?

Thanks, all thoughts welcome,
Jack Beeching

I am seeking help to find information about the family and descendants of Andrew ADAMS, who was born about1827 in Upper Canada (probably Edwardsburgh), the son of Andrew ADAMS and Catherine WRIGHT.

Andrew married Jane GRAY, 22 Sep 1858,

Have not been able to locate 1890 census records for this family.

I have been unable to locate either of John or Catherine. Edwin has married and can also be found in Olean City.

Edwin, age 35, married, New York, occupation looks like currier ******man
Emma, age 32, married, Canada, dressmaker
Maude L., daughter, age 7, single, New York

Richard, son, age 9, single, Indiana

Maude L Adams may have married Therole T Lemen, 18 Feb 1914, Lake County Indiana, and later moved to Texas. She may have died in May of 1971, Houston, Harris Co., Texas.

John BRAY and Jane CRIDLAND married 04 Jun 1785, at Watchet, St Decuman, after banns. If anyone has access to these records I wonder if there is any indication that John Bray was from elsewhere. I am searching for a John BRAY and Jane ( unknown ) who had children baptized at North Tamerton, Cornwall. NT baptisms start about 1790.
