Hi Kerry
It may help to know that I have done the Lander family tree for a friend of mine (Victor Lander) and the Black Rock Cottage lot do relate back to Albourne & Hurstpierpoint.

Notes
The baptisms suggest that the Lander family must have moved to Rottingdean between 1838 – 1840.
Futhermore, Joseph may not have cared whether he was born in Albourne or Rottingdean and just told the census enumerator the first thing that came into his head.
Joseph above (born c1836) married Lucy Moppet Dec 1861
Side note.
Lucy Moppet was an illegitimate child and at birth was given her mother’s maiden surname. Although her parents married within weeks of that birth, her baptism certificate also has her as Lucy Moppett. In later documents however, she takes her mother’s new husband’s surname and becomes known as Lucy Hide. John Hide (Lucy’s presumed father) is named as her father on the above marriage certificate
The couple produced
