Anne Hesman of Steyning

[MattD30]

My ancestor Richard Clement [of Pulborough] married Anne Hesman at Fittleworth on 2 May 1722. On the parish register entry he is described as being "of the parish of Pulborough" and she is described as being "of Steyning".

I have been able to find Richard's christening but I'm stuck on Anne.

Is anyone able to pinpoint a possible christening for Anne?

Many thanks

I can see that an Elizabeth Hesman was baptised in Steyning on 10th February 1701 to John & Elizabeth Hesman; perhaps she is a good candidate for a sister of Anne?

Maybe a bit of a long shot, but there is an Anne Hasleman baptised on 6th October 1695 to John Hasleman in Steyning. Unfortunately, I am unable to find an image of the parish register to compare.

Hi,

Free Reg has both baptisms at church of St Andrews, Steyning.

Familysearch.org has the entries viewable and the details for both are as shown on Free Reg - it seems to me a good potential match. The later one has John's wife's name shown as Elizabeth with him as a Labourer. Earlier one just shows Johns surname - no mention of wife.

A further child of John and Eliz Hesman was baptised at Cuckfield in 1706 named Henry.

Also on Free Reg and Family Search is a potential marriage of John Heasman and Elizabeth Allchone in Wadhurst on 28 April 1685.

I had hoped there would be some kind of naming pattern but the only Anne mother Elizabeth is some distance from Steyning, two others 7 miles away.
