Another SYNNOCK/SINNOCK hunt

[Eds]

I am trying to find the parents of Lucy SINNOCK/SYNNOCK . She married Francis SMITH in 1773 Hailsham.

     Be most grateful for any clues

Kaye,
I have quite a bit of information of the Sinnocks of Hailsham but haven't come across Lucy before.  However, here is a mention of Francis Smith and his wife Lucy which would fit with the people that you are looking for.  The information is from www.a2a.org.uk.

FILE - Conveyance (lease and release) for £141 15s - ref.  AMS5792/3,4  - date: 2 and 3 November 1790
      [from Scope and Content] Henry King of Hailsham carpenter and wife Rebecca to Francis Smith of Hailsham turnpike gate keeper

   FILE - Conveyance (feoffment) for £35 - ref.  AMS5792/5  - date: 29 September 1794
      [from Scope and Content] Henry Smith of Hailsham thatcher to Francis Smith of Hailsham, collector of tolls at Hailsham turnpike gate

   FILE - Mortgage for £160 with bond - ref.  AMS5792/6,7  - date: 11 February 1795
      [from Scope and Content] Francis Smith as above to John Sinnock of Hailsham gent

   FILE - Conveyance (lease & release) for £300 - ref.  AMS5792/8,9  - date: 23 & 24 June 1803
      [from Scope and Content] Francis Smith of Hailsham keeper of Amberstone turnpike gate Hailsham and wife Lucy to Abraham Wood of Hailsham labourer


It is possible that the John Sinnock that is mentioned was John Sinnock (b 1740 in Eastbourne).  He was my ggggg grandfather. 

I'll keep an eye out for Lucy's parents.

Greetings Mark,
   Thank you so much for that information. I had found their marriage in FHL film 1364156 Hailsham  PR transcripts.
   Do you know of any SINNOCKs in Laughton or there abouts? I found a birth of Francis and Lucy daughter in Laughton in 1777. I found other children 1782 on wards in Hailsham.
     Thanks again for the info .. tis really great.
      Regards
                   Kaye

Kaye,
I haven't came across any Sinnocks of Laughton yet.  If you let me know the list of the Sinnocks that you have I'll see if they fit in with any of the Sinnocks that I have.

Mark,
I don't have any Sinnocks in Laughton except Lucy with Francis Smith. I only have the Sinnocks in Hailsham.
However, I am going though a film  of PR and BT transcripts of Bexhill, and see there are Sinnocks. Do you have them? I haven't seen my Lucy there as yet. I can send you what I find if you need them.

Regards 

Kaye

Hi there

I have checked both the 1841 census and the 1851 census for Laughton in East Sussex for the surname Sinnock - sorry, but there are NO entries.

     Thank you Chris.
     Back to the drawing board for me.

Kaye,
As you point out, there are Sinnocks in Bexhill and in Hastings.  There is a Sinnock Square in Hastings.
My Sinnock line starts (as far as I can tell) with John Senocke who was buried in Eastbourne in 1604.  Documentation back that far is sparse and it is difficult to verify what appears in some gedcom files.  The documentation on Elias Sinnock (my gggggggg grandfather) is far better.  Elias was b 1613 in Eastbourne and buried in Eastbourne in 1690.  Frustratingly for me, he was buried in St Mary's churchyard.  I wish I had known that when I lived in Eastbourne - I've most probably walked past his gravestone (assuming it is still there) many times.  Still it is neat to think that I was a choirboy in the same church that a relative had worshiped in over 400 years ago!
One of his sons (Elias, 1669-1716) is my direct line.  In 1713 Elias purchased the Manor House (now the Towner Art Gallery) in Eastbourne.  His widow (Katherine (nee Vincent, later wife of Samuel Cant) sold the property in 1736.  The information mentions a son, Samuel Sinnock of Hastings (again my direct line).  The Sinnocks seemed to spread out from there, with my line ending up in Hailsham.  One of the branches of the Sinnocks of Hailsham were solicitors for at least 3 generations.  Another Sinnock was in the Army in India.  Other branches did end up in Bexhill and Hastings.

Who were the parents or siblings of your Lucy Sinnock?  Perhaps I can link them up with my Sinnocks.  I'd be interested in the Sinnock information from the Bexhill PRs.

Regards

Greetings Mark,
  Unfortunately I have no idea who Lucy Sinnock's parents or siblings are. All I know about her is her marriage and her children.
