Marriage c1827 Hastings

[Paul J Ballard]

Could someone please do a lookup for me.

Trying to find the marriage of John Mann Stonham to Constant (or Constance) surname unknown but possibly Cloke. John Stonham was baptised 3 March 1802 at All Saints, Hastings and was a fisherman. Constant was born between 1800 and 1810.

Any help much appreciated.

Jane,

Thank you VERY much. That is spot on. They had a son George Cloke Stonham so the maiden name is really pretty conclusive that its the right couple.

You're welcome, Paul.
Is that an Arabic Kaffir I see you wearing in your piccie?

Indeed it is. Very comfortable and helps to keep the rain from dripping down my neck whilst fishing in Ireland  Tends to confuse the locals though

I have also been following up John and Constant Stonham. My interest is through the son George Cloke Stonham and his daughter Emily and my fathers' side of my family.
John Stonham seems to have died between the baptism of  the son Abraham Stoneham 4.06.1839 -  John & Constant- and the last child Constant Stoneham 19.08.1840 -    Constant (Widow ) - although I have not found any reference to his death.
Constant and her family were in Hastings Union Workhouse, Ore in 1841.
Constant married James Peters a Widower, Fisherman, residence as St. Clements, Hastings and his father dead. 2nd Dec. 1846.  The marriage certificate establishes her maiden name as Cloke and fathers name as John Cloke. From census information she was born in 1810- 1811
And in 1881 she was again a widow living with her son George Cloke Stonham at  2 Trafalgar Cott, Hastings.

Hi Jim,

My interest is also through George Cloke Stonham who was my Gt Gt Grandfather and his daughter Mary who married William Albert Ballard.

John Stonham, I believe, was buried 25 Feb 1836 at All Saints and neither Abraham nor Constant were his children? I have a copy of the All Saints & St Clement's parish register transcripts from which much of my data was taken.

I have more on the Stonhams and also the Mathews (Caroline wife of George Cloke) - send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you more.
