Parents of Sarah Unsted/Unstead
« on: Wednesday 28 October 15 11:41 GMT (UK) »
Looking for the parents and their marriage of Sarah Unstead/Unsted who was baptised at West Dean By Seaford, Sussex on 18 Feb 1732. Sarah married James Bovis 6 May 1754 at Seaford, Sussex.

Sarah's parents were given as John Unstead/Unsted and Alice. 

Have my fingers crossed to find John Unsted/Unstead parents, Alice's parents and their date of marriage.

A tall ask I hear you say but hope does spring eternal! ;D

No Marriage on the SMI for John Unsted/Onsted to an Alice.     I expect you know that James Boviss is of Salehurst when he marries Sarah.

West Dean baptisms have several children for John and Ann as well as the single one for John and Alice.
Burial for Anne w John in 1728
Burial for Alice Unsted in 1747 and another one in 1751

It would be worth your joining the Sussex Family History Group as there are dozens of entries for that name in various parishes in that area.

Yes I was aware he was from Salehurst.  Thanks also for the additional variation of surname spelling for Unsted/Onsted.
