How to tell which parents are correct?
« on: Thursday 04 March 21 15:24 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to confirm the correct parents of my 4th great grandfather Henry Jupp who was born abt 1798, Sussex. On the 1851 Census, it says he was born in Maresfield.  I know his father was named Henry and his mother was named Sarah, however, this is where I have a problem.

 There are two different marriages a year apart from each other.
Henry Jupp and Sarah Nye
April 1796
Hurstpierpoint, Sussex
But they were both born in Pulborough.


Henry Jupp and Sarah Boxall
October 1795
Pulborough, Sussex
Henry was from Pulborough and Sarah was from Petworth

Both these couples had a son Henry baptised in 1798

How can I figure out which of these couples are my 4th great grandfather's parents?

Any help would be much appreciated, Thank you.

From the information I was given, I managed to find a baptism on Ancestry that matched the year and the parent's first names, however,  there are 2 possibles, so I'm not sure how I can confirm the correct couple. What doesn't help is that both sets of possible parents had a son named Henry baptism in 1798.

If I've got the right Henry Jupp in 1851 he says he was born in Pulborough.
