I have also been following up John and Constant Stonham. My interest is through the son George Cloke Stonham and his daughter Emily and my fathers' side of my family.
John Stonham seems to have died between the baptism of the son Abraham Stoneham 4.06.1839 - John & Constant- and the last child Constant Stoneham 19.08.1840 - Constant (Widow ) - although I have not found any reference to his death.
Constant and her family were in Hastings Union Workhouse, Ore in 1841.
Constant married James Peters a Widower, Fisherman, residence as St. Clements, Hastings and his father dead. 2nd Dec. 1846. The marriage certificate establishes her maiden name as Cloke and fathers name as John Cloke. From census information she was born in 1810- 1811
And in 1881 she was again a widow living with her son George Cloke Stonham at 2 Trafalgar Cott, Hastings.
