Info re Cuckfield and Cuckfield Union Workhouse was looking further into the three Mary Wickham deaths

In theory it sounds sensible - Mary Wakem (Wickham) living alone 1841 age 65 - No Mary Wickhams 70+ years old in 1851 Census in Sussex.  Three listed in deaths for Sussex.  One in Cuckfield.  Only way now to work out which is either obtain death certs or Cuckfield Union Workhouse Minutes of Guardians Meetings.  1836-1930 are held at West Sussex Records Office, County Hall, Chichester

Cannot find a birth for Mary Wickham with parents William and Mary.  Where is this information?

Has anyone been able to dig up any more info on Mary?

OK this is a years old thread, last updated 14 years ago but I found a great lead, a likely burial.

Mary Blink, born c1779, aged 36 who was buried at St Olave Southwark, Surrey (London) in 1815, of St Thomas' Hospital.

My Mary Wickham of Bolney, Sussex was known as Mary Blink/Blank and was born 1779.
