Maiden Name for Ann BEAN of Rottingdean and Martha BEAN

[Westy11]

John BEAN & Ann had issue two daughters Arabella [baptised 12 Jan 1738/39] and Barbara [baptised 2 Dec 1740].

Ann's remains interred 26 Nov 1742 at St Margaret, Rottingdean.

I am hoping for assistance to locate John BEAN and Ann's marriage please.

John subsequently married Martha whose maiden name is unknown nor the date and location of John and Martha's marriage.

Hello Colin,

Thanks so much for Martha's maiden name and the date and location of marriage.

Ann is proving elusive..

There is also an Ann Bean baptized at Friston, 8 July 1735, to John and Ann.

And apparently an earlier Mary Bean to parents with the same names, 24 Feb 1727. Which complicates things. Info from FamilySearch (no images)

Ann Bean buried at Rottingdean, 22 Jan 1747/8. No other info

The 1744 marriage of John & Martha was by licence, but no idea of the issuing church court.

Likewise the marriage between Ann Walker & John Bearn/Bean was by licence, no idea of which jurisdiction.

Hello Jon and Nell,

Thank you for the information.  I will work my way through it and see how it fits.

I genuinely appreciate your input.
