William Carey, Hailsham area (abt 1808)
« on: Thursday 03 September 20 22:58 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

I've had a brick wall with William Carey, born in Sussex around 1808, for a long time. I've recently got a DNA match which should clear things up, but only seems to complicate things further.

William married Lydia Brook in Herstmonceux in 1828, and they had 8 children together. They moved to London in the 1830s and he died in Islington in 1883. He gives his place of birth as Hailsham in 1861 and Worthing in 1881. In the others he just lists "Sussex". The only baptism I can find for a William Carey in Sussex around the time of his birth is in Sedlescombe in 1807.

I recently got an Ancestry thru-line which tells me I am related to a descendent of the Careys via Robert Carey, also born in Sedlesecombe in 1809. However, this branch of the family moved to America, and all the research others have done shows William also having done so, and dying in Massachusetts, so I'm pretty confused by this match.

Any help very much appreciated

Hi Omega,

Fantastic find. Thank you so much. Makes good sense too as William has both Peter and Ann among his children. Are these records only available through the SFHG? I've found who I presume to be Peter and Ann in the census but can't find baptisms or marriages for them.

Best wishes
Samuel

These might be of interest, all at Hailsham.

Peter Carey bap. 26 Feb 1785 s/o Edward & Lyddia

Edward Carey bap 13 Apr 1758 s/o Daniel & Mary

Danell Carey bap 25 Jan 1741/2 s/o John & Hana

Danell Ren bap 25 Apr 1744 s/o Marey Ren, father Carey

I'll look for marriages and spouse's baptisms later if no-one else has found them.

First Carey baptisms recorded at Hailsham in 1740, children of John and Hannah no Ren baptisms recorded.

Can't find any alternative surname spellings for either Carey or Ren - did wonder if Ren was actually Wren but no baptisms under that name.
