Henry Morris and Mary Wood

[sigmund]

Can anyone please help?  I am looking for the parents and any other information concerning Henry Morris who was born about 1813 in Burwash, Sussex and Mary Wood born about 1824 in Warbleton, Sussex who were married on 26 December 1842 at Burwash Parish Church

Henry Morris was baptised 2 Jan 1814 in Burwash, parents James and Mary Morris.

There are two by the name of Mary Wood baptised in Warbleton in 1823/4:

Mary Jane Wood baptised 28 Dec 1823 parents James & Caroline Wood.
Mary Wood baptised 2 May 1824, parents William & Mary Wood.

Can't check the marriages at the moment - PC having a weird moment.

OK - got it sorted.

James Morris married Mary Huntly 23 Nov 1803 in Mayfield, both otp.

James Wood, bachelor of Herstmonceux married Caroline Brett, spinster of Warbleton 7 Nov 1823 in Warbleton.

William Wood - more difficult.  Nothing in Warbleton or nearby 

I found these:

William Wood married Mary Message 4 Apr 1825 in Herstmonceux
William Wood married Mary Short 8 Nov 1823 Steyning West Sussex

There is another in Slindon West Sussex, but that seems a long way away. 

Since you have the exact marriage date, do you have the certificate which would give the fathers' names.  That might help.

Thank you very much for the information.  These are useful lines of inquiry.

Hello Nell,

The information that you uncovered is great.  I do not have the marriage certificate but got the information from Family Search.  I will have to find the index details of the marriage so that I can get the certificate.  In the meantime can you tell me what sources you used to uncover the information that you found - that would be extremely helpful.

Many thanks
