I am looking for the marriage and death details for Zebulon Maplesden

He married a Frances? about 1816, his first child was born in 1818 in Rotherfield Sussex. Last child born 1823 Rotherfield

He died prior to 1836, probably in Sussex.

In 1838 he is shown as deceased on his daughters marriage cert. and his fathers Will (1836) shows Zebulon as deceased.

Any help would be appreciated

Just out of interest - do you know if he had a sister named Leah? Just that I noticed that listed beneath his name on the IGI is this marriage:

LEAH MAPLESDEN
Marriage: 29 APR 1816 Ashurst, Kent, England
To: THOMAS SOPER

Might be worthwhile hanging onto the info in case you find a connection.

Regards

Athena (who's real name happens to be...Leah, LOL)
