Lindfield surname ,West Sussex
« on: Wednesday 07 August 19 15:45 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am researching my 4 x great grandparents George Godden and Frances Lindfield bc 1779.Although she appears in a census as born in Ditchling,Sussex., I cannot find a baptism for her. A possible family could be Edward Lindfield ,wife Ann unknown who were having a number of children in West Grinstead, as there are many repeated family names, but Frances doesn’t appear among their baptisms.
Any help finding Frances would be great. There is a recurrent name of Albourne (spelt various ways) running through subsequent generations as middle names, but I haven’t found an Albourne anywhere yet.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi
Marriage was at Brighton, 8 Dec 1806

One small clue. A witness was another Frances Lindfield, it says "Niece to the above"!

she appears in a census as born in Ditchling,Sussex., I cannot find a baptism for her.

Ditchling registers not filmed by the LDS. So other sources needed.

Thanks , She may have been born in Ditchling ,but baptised elsewhere I suppose.
I am stuck because I do not have the parents of Frances , the niece could be helpful, I will look into it.

Thanks very much for that, sounds very promising . Is there a marriage for John Lindfield and Mary?
That would be great, thanks.
