1841 Look up Ashington - Thomas and James Town

[martianuk]

Hi,

I'm trying to locate
 Thomas Town (b1798)
Wife Mary Ann (1805)
James (b1827)
Thomas (b 1837)
Mary (b 1838)
John (b ca 1841)

All kids were born in Ashington, Sussex and I have a book on the family (they were all involved in horses  - Thomas sr was an Ostler in Worthing, 1851, b Coombes/Steyning, Sussex), that notes that son James settled in Worthing in 1844, becoming a successful job master and horse bus proprietor there. So he was possibly still in Ashington in 1841, esp given his brother John's birth there ca 1840-41.

Thank you for your time!

Kind regards, Kirsty

PS If anyone has a record of the marriage for Thomas and Mary Ann (b Thakeham/Warminghurst), great, because I don't!
