Residence: ‎1841 Offham, Kent, England 2)


Notes: William's son John was married in Brighton and Henry's family also lived in or around Brighton. John's marriage was witnessed by Isaiah and Maria Barnden.

William, and his wife (Ann Geer), were both widowed at the time of their marriage. The second witness provides a clue as to William's first marriage. Lucy cozens witnesses - the sister of William's first wife, Sarah Cozens.

William and Sarah were both non-conformist. Their children are baptised at Heathfield Chapel and Sarah is herself buried at Alfriston Chapel.

Notes: Ann may have been born Ann Geer/Gear. It is unclear if her maiden name was or was not Geer as she was a widow at marriage. Interestingly William's second marriage was witnessed by Lucy Cozens, presumably a relative of his first wife. Ann subsequently remarried in 1846, where she recorded her name as Ann Geer Barnden.
