Baptised 8 July 1781
Bexhill, Sussex, England
Baptised at St Peter's, Bexhill, Sussex - eighteen months after his parents married at Icklesham and about eleven miles west of it. His parents were back at Icklesham for the baptisms of 1784 and 1787. The register opening has been read (media 419, PAR 240/1/1/3, both pages signed by Henry Barwick, curate) and it names Richd. and Martha, but it is the pre-1813 format - date, child and parents only, no abode and no occupation column - so nothing on the page says why the family was at Bexhill that year.
