Through the generous help of the Parish Clerk in Ashington (Sussex) I have discovered my grandparent's headstone upon which is also marked "Marie Baker died July 21st 1933". I have traced what appears to be her entry in the Deaths Register and that gives her age at death of 22 (Steyning 2b 354).
But can I find her Birth entry......can anyone give me a clue as to what else I should be looking for? AFAIK all births occured in the Thakeham Parish
TIA

I presume she was married?

What was her birth name?

Was Marie a Baker at birth?

Perhaps you may find more info about her if you get the death cert?

Thank you all for such prompt replies. She was born a Baker and did not marry AFAIK. I think Deborah may have found her - I was concentrating on the Thakeham entries. Perhaps there was a cottage hospital or something in the Steyning Parish.
Thank you everyone.
