I am looking for the marriage of Richard WILLET(T0(S) to a Louisa

He was born in 1811 in Sussex

They baptised all their children in Sussex, the first I have found is 1835

There are 3 Richard Willet marrisges showing around that time on FMP I would be grateful if someone could check them for me

is this the family in 1871 ?


Richard Willett 56
Louisa Willett 56
Joseph Willett 24
Henry Willett 22
Lois Willett 17

Where were the children baptised and do you have a birth cert of one of the children (one must have been born after 1837) to confirm Louisa's maiden name?

Would appear to be the above Richard.
Did he have a middle name ?
Where did you get DOB as 1811 ?

Thank you all.

Horatio (Horace) is the one in my DIL tree-they were travellers which is why the baptisms are all over the place !!

They may not have married formally but most of that particular group did.so I hoped to be lucky !

Edit

I found another baptism which I thought was him 10 March 1811 at St Nicholas Brighton - Richard Willet mother Sarah

Check census info posted........for where and when Richard says he was born
