Lamberhurst Burial - Look up Request

[SussexGenes]

Hi

I am looking for a burial for Joseph Hodgskin / Hodskin buried 1759 or 1760 in Lamberhurst.  I am looking solely for the date of burial.  Many thanks,

Two burial dates for men with that name --

Joseph Hodgskin - 28 Oct 1757
Joseph Hodgskin/Hodskin - 19 Jun 1760

There are several Apprentice records (1742-1759) for a Joseph Hodgskin of Lamberhurst. Looks like his occupations were Wheeler and Wheelwright. He was the Master.

Yes, he was a wheelwright.  He mentions his occupation in his Will dated February 1759.

Is there a Phoebe Foster in the burials too around 1765 - at least after 1760?  She is mentioned in Joseph’s Will  I know there is one for 1757 but that is her daughter.

Many thanks again for all your help.

Is she a Lamberhurst burial, as well?

So far I see this burial for a Phabe Foster --

Burial    26 Dec 1765
Place     Lamberhurst, St Mary
Next of kin relationship     Daughter of
Next of kin name    Lawrence Foster

That’s extremely interesting as I had assumed the daughter died 1757 and her mother after Joseph died.  Perhaps the 1757 Phebe is another daughter too.  They would have been buried at Lamberhurst but died at Ticehurst.  It is a curious family grouping to research because Kent Archaeology has a transcript of Lawrence Foster’s (Phoebe Hodgskins husband’s) memorial at Lamberhurst of 1801 which states he had a wife called Elizabeth who died 1800.  I haven’t been able to find him remarrying to an Elizabeth.

Looks like both burials are for daughters of Lawrence Foster.

Lawrence and Phoebe also had two sons named Lawrence. Burials for them in 1761 and 1767.

Two Phoebe Foster baptisms: 1753 and 1765.

The Foster family obviously liked to recycle names!

I think it probably has something to do with leaving a legacy when you name a child after yourself but failing twice on both sides is not a good omen, is it?

Thanks for all your help again.  I am now thinking the memorial transcript is an error or there was an error on made the actual memorial and they put Elizabeth instead of Phoebe - not unheard of I guess.  It put her at 72 in 1800 and as Phoebe was baptised 1728 would mean it is the right age for her.
