1620ish Richard Rowland Sussex

Kia ora

From chilly Otautahi / Christchurch, Aotearoa

I am trying to find the correct parent or parents of:

Richard Rowland husband of Anne Butler
b.1617 Jan 10 b.Jan 14 St Mary the Virgin, St Mary the Virgin, Horsham, West Sussex, Eng.    not this Richard Rowland
m.1640 Nov 19 Anne Butler, St Nicholas, Worth, West Sussex, Eng.
d.1658 Feb 12 St Nicholas, Worth, West Sussex, Eng.

Any help much appreciated.  I do have the Sussex births but haven't managed to find the correct one.

Hi,

I can't see another Richard Rowland baptised in Sussex around the right time. What about looking over the border in Horne or Burstow? There was a lot of movement back and forth between Worth and these parishes. In 1635 there was a Richard Rowland baptised in Horne - I know he is not your chap - but I would think the coincidence of the name would be worth looking into - perhaps named after an Uncle?

Thanks Liz, I will try a broader search.  I am not really sure how I will know that I have the right man!
