Wingate

[patluv]

Hi there,
I am searching for a Sophia Wingate born Chichester, Dorset approx 1810.
Would any one know of maybe the name of church for that area, or any connections and of name variations.
I just cannot find anything on this lady, only on the 1881 census. I have search everywhere for a marriage record, even though I know she married a George Taylor who was a Mariner and born in Eastbourne Sussex.
Anything would be a great help,
Thanking you.
Pat.

Thank you Catherine,
That is very much appreciated, I don't know if she is mine though. Would you know the registration district for Selsey? I wonder if it could be Chichester.
It is a big chance it being the right one, thank you again.
My best wishes.
Pat.

Oh! what a question to ask me, bottom of the class in geography, my worst subject. Well had a look online and Selsey is in the diocese of Chichester.

There is a church on Selsey called St. Peters I have found while I was looking for you.

Hi there Catherine,
Thank you for that look up, it is great and the church is only 7 miles from Chichester.
I think there is a big possibility she is mine, I will have to try and find them on early census records and hopefully it will be listed as place of birth.
Thank you so much for you kindness, I really appreciate it. I think it is lovely how people help each other.
Thank you and good hunting with your own research.
My best wishes.
Pat.

Hi! Pat

Thank you for such a kind message, it is most appreciated.
Good luck with your search.

I have located a living one of my Rustidge family, and they are going to help, think we have found a link. Great when something like this happens.
