Thanks very much, Rosie, that's a lot of information you've managed to pull together  Over the years I've discovered quite a bit of religious non-conformity on my mother's side of the family, and now I can add Wesleyans to the Quakers and Baptists. My ancestors were certainly free-thinkers.

I wish I could find Susanna's baptism, do you have her marriage certificate

[Deux Chevaux]

Sadly, no. I've only just discovered Jemima's maiden name of Nation after posting this thread yesterday.

[Deux Chevaux]

Ah! Think I've mistaken which Susannah you meant. I thought you were asking about Jemima's mother, but I now think you were asking about Susannah born around 1821. I don't have any more information on her either, sadly.

[rosie99]

Yes I did mean Susanna Small.     I am assuming this is her marriage but I have not managed to work out who she married
Marriages Sep 1841 
SMALL    Susanna        Lexden &c    12   181
James Anderson / Thomas Capon / James Cross or Benjamin Starling

[Deux Chevaux]

Yeah, been having a look but not found anything new online, sadly. I'm now looking to push further back on both sides of her parents' branches, but so far I'm hitting another wall.

This may be the marriage - a bit later than you think.

William Small bachelor & Louisa Jemima Nation spinster m 17 Sept 1826 at St Mary Portsea, by banns.  Witnesses: Wm Cave & Jane Small

Have you looked at William's Coastguard records at all?

Nell

Edit: sorry - I see someone found the marriage yesterday. 

However, the coastguard records might be informative.

[Deux Chevaux]

Hi, yes I have the details of the marriage down on my tree now, but I haven't got any information regarding William's coast guard record. To be honest I hadn't thought about that as an option.
