George Stephens 09 Dec 1798 at St Mary, Eastbourne s/o George & Charlotte
Richard Stephens 07 Feb 1802 ditto.

No Stevens.

There's a Walter Stephens on 13 Oct 1806 at St Mary's but he was the son of Reuben & Sarah.

I looked on the three main web sites and couldn't even find the baptisms in East Dean and Eastbourne that SFHG list.  I also checked generally for East Sussex again with no results.

The five and a half year gap between the baptisms of Charlotte and George would normally indicate a birth or two, the two and a bit years between George and Richard similarly.

The problem is that there are numerous small parishes in the East Dean-Eastbourne area and I don't know how, if it's possible, to do a general area search in SFHG database.
