Bottings in Fletching

[MattD30]

Can someone double check two marriages for me?

Firstly can someone check for a marriage in May 1766 for John Botting and Sarah Barden. I am trying to clarify what her name is as I have seen it transcribed as Barden, Bardon and even Barton. Could these all be variations of her name?

Secondly I'm hoping someone can help locate a marriage for John Botting's father, also called John.

I am trying to locate a marriage for John Botting and a woman named Sarah some time prior to 1736 in the Fletching area. John and Sarah had seven children between 1736/37 and 1749/50

The children I have for them are as follows:

Sarah - March 1736/37
John - January 1738/39 [who married Sarah Barden]
Mary - March 1740/41
Richard - February 1742/43
Elizabeth - August 1746
Hannah - December 1748
Ann - January 1749/50

All were christened in Fletching, Sussex.

Thanks for any ideas.

Hi Matt
All I can see is
28 April 1737, Little Horsted
John Botting + Sarah Cogan of Fletching

From Sussex Marriage Index.

Baptism of Sarah, daughter of John + Sarah Botting, at Fletching was 5 March 1737/8. So after that marriage.

On the 1766 marriage in Fletching, Sarah is Barden in the marriage register

Let's hope it's the right one
It looks good. Can't see too much for Cogans in Sussex.

Left a will, a carpenter. Is this the man who married the first Sarah?

Hi

Wow!! Thanks jonw65 and Pheno for those bits of info. I think this must be the right people. I haven't looked at this family for several years so I've been trying to look into them more lately.

Cogan is a rather unusual name so I'll see if I can find anything else for that name. Thanks for confirming what Sarah B's surname was, now I can see if I can locate her.

Thank you for the al links by the way too.

Just had a look at that the entry for John Botting in those court records [page 157]. They look interesting but I've not seen these records before. What does this record mean in short/
