Only recently returned to this family, and found a burial for Henry Bartlett 84 of Richmond Square on 28 January 1851 at Hanover Chapel General Burial Ground (Independent), Brighton. Still can't locate a baptism for his daughter Mary though. Perhaps she had a Non-Conformist baptism and it's not online yet.

Could be a useful site - thanks for that. But as you say, we need a key to the codes!

Seems a bit irrelevant now, but...
Using the local index http://extranet3.kent.gov.uk/sp/rois/home.html

Note the same register & entry # confirms Sylvia's pairing - pity they don't say what church is coded by C55X

Haven't followed up the Bartletts yet btw - busy with other branches of the family!

Sorry - typo - John Penfold, Bootmaker!

Rather belatedly thought you might like to know that I sent for Sarah Ann Penfold's birth certificate, and very interestingly no father is listed, and mother is Eleanor Blunden of 17 Queen Street, Brighton. So your deductions were all spot on! I also got Eleanor's marriage certificate to James Blunden, and this doesn't give a name for her father. She and James were both living at The Bear, Preston (Brighton) at the time of their marriage. Witnesses were George and Sarah Jones, so not even family members as far as I can see. I think Eleanor must have been an interesting young lady!!!

Sarah Ann's marriage certificate confirms her father as John Pernfold, Bootmaker. :-)

Thanks both - I'll note the information but will remember that it's not proven - yet! - that this is the right Henry. Seems quite likely though.

cheers, Linda

Yes Sylvia, that's the one I found on 12 Mar 2012 00:18. It doesn't prove Henry is her father. He could've been an uncle or cousin. Linda needs to find some more proof.

This is possible, remembering that Henry could have been between 70 and 74 in 1841, because of the rounding down to nearest 5 on that census.

Great news, Linda.

Aren't you lucky that her father was named in the Parish records.

I put in a request to the Sussex FHG marriage list and they came up with a marriage between Mary Bartlett and John Wood in Hove 19 Dec 1825. John Wood was buried at St Thomas's, Lewes 9 Jan 1833 aged 29. It all fits nicely - the youngest of their 3 children, Alfred, was born c1831 in Lewes. And it means that my assumtpion that Henry Bartlett was Mary's father is correct. Yay! :-)
