Baptism for James son of William and Hannah at Storrington 29th Oct 1749.  That fits with the names of the children later.  They also have William in 1744 and Thomas in 1746/7.
There is a possible marriage to Hannah Blinwell at Lancing in 1742 but that is only a guess as a bit out of area.  Not too far though.

Thanks Sillgen,

We seem to be following the trail together, though the Marriage of William and Hannah had me stumped.

Where are you searching for these? Everyone has turned up at the PRTC so far except for Hannah and William's marriage. Is there any more info in the listing, or perhaps a first child Blunden back with Hannah's family in Lancing?

Sussex Family History Group have online records for members and you can buy a CD of their pre 1837 marriage index which is usually very comprehensive.  That marriage is the only one for William to a Hannah in the right time frame.

Thanks Sillgen.

I've joined the SFHG and am looking forward to checking through their records as well.

Thanks to everyone. I've already found many wills for the family that I think will put everything together for the family back until the late 17th Century.

As far as I can see they were wheelwrights in Storrington for a couple of generations before William Henry, and before that the family was on Rowdell Estate in Washington nearby.

Time to slow down a little and add some flesh to the bones before I get too excited about the Commonwealth period :)

I am looking for information as well on William Henry Blunden. Our family is descended from Sarah Smale Blunden, first in Australia and then New Zealand. I am happy to share what I have.

Hi Gale,

You must be following the Parkinsons, which is how I came to first get stuck at William Henry Blunden for so long.

I'd love to share. I'll send you a PM. If anyone comes across this thread and is interested in the Bundens or Parkinsons, please message me as well. I'm happy to share whatever I've found.

Cheers,

Lewis
