Re: John Vigar born 1713 Balcombe and Eastwood family of Mayfield

Hmm Katherine Pearl married John Eastwood in 1726 so it doesn't look like there is a suitable Katherine Earle.  Shame that could have solved it.  Unless there is a missing one in Barcombe, but then we are back to square 1!

The page for Marriages & Burials 1672 are missing   so that does`nt help.

Hi I don't know if it would help anyone, but I have access to about the first 30 volumes published by the Sussex Records Society.  They mostly seem to cover the area served by the Archdeaconry of Lewes, but they do include several volumes listing marraiges.  I''ll try & post a separate list tonight, but in the meantime if there's a query you think I might be able to help with, feel free to send me a PM.

St Mary’s Eastbourne, burial  of Katherine EARLE 1st May 1739, daughter of John & Ann EARLE. Weird this is the year we are looking for a Katherine PEARLE to be burried and John Eastwood remarries (perhaps) to Elizabeth PET !! Alternatively there were two John Eastwood's  who married the girls.

According to the IGI the John Eastwood, b1706, Mayfield, Sussex to John Eastwood Snr and Ann Piper definitely marries Katherine Pearl.


This is weird but probably a coincidence.........

John Eastwood   
IGI  bapt. 09 APR 1710 Saint Dunstan, Stepney, London,

Elizabeth Pett  bapt 15 Oct 1704 - St Dunstan and All Saints, Stepney, London

Must admit that's some co-incidence 


Ancestry has 15th Dec 1704 Elizabeth dau of William and Elizabeth Pett [looks like M.N.Tonn (could be Mile End Old Town occ Brewers Servant - Elizabeth was 16 months at time of baptism

9th April 1710 John s of John and Elizabeth Eastwood of Wapp. (Wapping) Mariner age at bap. 13 months

Will look for marriages...

Hi

Don't know whether anyone is still researching the Eastwood family of Mayfield but after a 3 year gap I did a more of searching this afternoon and this is what I found:

From the Mayfield PR CD produced by the Parish Register Transcription Society

Baptisms
1668 7 March - John son of John Istead (=Istead?)

1676 28 Feb - Sarah, daughter of John Mary Isted

Marriage
John Isted and Susanna Frye married 1687 28 Feb
1704 26 October John Eastwood married Ann Piper
1704 no date John Isted and Ann Piper in BT only

Burials
1700 24 Apr the wife of John Eastwood
1701 15 March John Eastwood senior

From the Sussex Family History Group
1702 15 Feb John Eastwood senior buried
1680 5 March Sarah Isted daughter of John and Mary buried

Now there are two discrepancies between the records, I feel, 2 different years for Sarah burial and John Eastwood which shows the difficulty with looking at transcribed records.

However saying all that I don't think I have seen the 1668 baptism for John Isted mentioned before as a possibility.  That means he would be 8 years older than Ann Piper but did he marry before to Susanna and she died (so where is her burial?)

I have not noticed the second 1704 marriage record before which clearly records him as Isted rather than Eastwood.

So what do people think, is this a possibility, has anyone already researching this name and come to a conclusion?

Hi Kerry,  I'm always interested in extra information..   I'm not at home just now so don't have any notes to hand.

I've not seen the Istead/Piper marriage, am wondering if it's a transcription problem because as you say where is Susanna's burial ?

I won't be back in Sussex till the end of this week but in the meantime will have a ponder.....

Was just thinking about the different dates.  The calendar did not change until mid 1700s but often transcribers just put one year rather than indicating that it might be one of two possibles - if you see what I mean.   That could explain it if it is only one year out - not when it is several though.
