i am researching the farindon family of lingfild, surrey, which consisted of:

anthony...1778
louisa (married thomas ward and is on other thread)
mary ann rebecca...1782
james...1784

any census details for this family great appreciated

led to believe that mary did not marry and lived until 1865 in the surrey area.

led to believe that james married jane and moved to capel, sussex.
