It was worth a try Kate  :( I don't know whether Chris in 1066land will be able to help, he has lots of Hastings records.

George was a mariner?

He may have been dead as early as 1815.  There are references to Mary, wife of George on the catalogues database site:

Hi Nell thanks for your time I do have that plus another printout from the parish record and it does have George applying for tax relief march 1816 as he was ill so maybe he did die around that time Mary did have her 1st base born child in 1815 then in 1817 and 1821 and in May 1828 she applies for clothing and thats the first ref to her being a widow but that may not mean anything i guess. George was born in Devon maybe he left her and went back there.

All in the fun of the search Cheers KateNZ :)
