Thank you, much appreciated.
I think you are right as I just went onto the family search org site and found a Jane West baptised 12.06.1799 hurstmonceaux ( parents James West & Ann Avery )
From the census details quoted husband and wife.
in 1851 they are living in Apple lane, westfield , and jane is quoted being born Herstmonceaux
in 1861 & 1871 Jane is widowed and living at Hylands Cottage , Westfield.
she is quoted as being born in Bold St Green in the 1861 census and Herstmonceaux in the 1871
I found in the sussex poll of 1820 that a William Anscombe was living in the abode owned by John Hyland.
I was trying to rule out that Jane Anscombe in the 1841 census is the mother of Eliza B Plumb and that William is her stepfather, and now with thanks to you I have now been able to do so.
A Jane Plumb in 1841 aged 35 was working as a servant in Chichester , so I was pressuming that Eliza was being looked after by relatives.
Jane Plumb's parents were George Plumb ( bnc 1772) and Sarah Anscomb ( bnc 1769 westfield )
So I now pressume that William Anscombe is somehow related to Sarah Anscomb ( bnc 1769 ) and will have to try and find the connection.
Once again thank you for helping me to
