susanna bashford nee caffyn

[Bashford]

Looking for Information on  susanna caffyn married a edwin john bashford  .

edwin john bashford was born 4th sept 1815  son of john bashford and hannah  brooker in Lindfield sussex.

I have found two possibles   susanna  caffyn born 1903 also in lindfield  ,and a susanna born 1834 in sussex .

does anyone have more information on these people please?

Hi Bashford,
Maybe the marriage of Susanna & Edwin will help as it shows the witnesses.  I would presume that Eunice C stands for Eunice Caffyn.



 Slaugham, West Sussex,  Date: 29 Jun 1837:
 Susanna CAFFYN, botp (B)
Spouse: Edwin John BASHFORD
Extra Information: Witness wit: Hny. COOPER; Eunice C.

Found this marriage for Henry Cooper (not the boxer )  Perhaps Lois is Susanna's sister, making Henry her brother-in-law?


 Slaugham, West Sussex,  Date:  7 May 1836:
 Lois CAFFYN
 Henry COOPER, botp (B)
Extra Information: Witness wit: Hny. LEACH; Harriett LEACH

Hope this is of some help,

jane

presumeing they are the right people  that discounts the 2nd susanna as she would only be 3 at the time of the marrage  . need to do more research on lois .

In 1871 they are still in Lindfield and her place of birth is given as Lindfield.   take your pick!

Death for Edwin John Bashford age 58 registered in Cuckfield in March 1872    2b 90

1881 and 1891 has a Susan Bashford as a lodger in Horsham b Shipley.
Shipley is close to Horsham so perhaps she went back to her roots after Edwin died?

i have one problem 

If susanna caffyn was born 1903 she would be 12 years older than edwin in the information you have supplied shes only 2 years older  can this be down to an error maybe ? or wrong susanna ? wrong edwin?     . i guess more research is required ....
