Hi Dulcie, it looks as though the "Thomas & Sarah Presnell's" may be two quite different families and the children have been added together?.
Firstly, William bc 1765 is the ancestor I haven't been able to positively identify with any Presnell family. The only thing we know for certain is that his mother's name was Sarah!.
The Piddinghoe Sussex Presnells are as follows - these children born to
James (not Thomas) Presnell & Sarah Tooth.
All this family are from Piddinghoe, Sussex and most seemed to have stayed in Piddinghoe. I think we have discounted this Sarah Presnell/Tooth as not being our William's mother Sarah. But I do keep records on most of the Presnell's that I have come across whilst researching and I have the following people.
The children born to this couple are:
1. Sarah - bapt 8/3/1767 in Piddinghoe
2. Mary - 17/5/1769
3. Thomas - 10/5/1772 and buried 16/6/1772
4, Jenny - 17/4/1774
5, Elizabeth - 11/8/1776 and buried 10/12/1776
6, Phillis - 12/1/1778 and buried 1/2/1779
7. James - 11/6/1780 and buried 7/2/1803
8. Thomas Hugh - 27/10/1782, married (1) 17/4/1801 in Bishopstone, Sussex to Sarah Gorringe and (2) in 1808 in Rodmell, to Charlotte Harris. He died 1/3/1825 in Piddinghoe.
The parents James & Sarah married in Piddinghoe in 1765 and as from my previous post they also died there within months of one another.
Looks as though there are a couple of families that have been 'put' together.
The other Presnell's I have are the Leyton Essex Presnell's - these kids born to Thomas Presnell & Sarah (unknown). These are the couple I don't have a marriage date for.
1. George - 22/3/1772 in Leyton, Essex
2. Thomas - 23/1/1774,
3. William - 9/6/1776
4. James - 7/6/1778
5. Ann - 14/5/1780
6. Sarah - 31/3/1782
7. Joseph - 20/6/1784
8. Richard - c 1785 and died Jan 1786
9. John - 25/2/1787
10. Lucy - 24/5/1789
11. Jane - 22/3/1795 and buried 7/2/1796.
So as you can see, two quite different families. Unfortunately, neither my William or your Elizabeth appear in either (drat!). At least you can see that these two families are quite separate.
Cheers
