Ann Suck b.1815-1821 Sussex, (My Great, Great, Grandmother) Ann had been married to James Blackman, they had three children James, Rose and Catherine. James Blackman Senior, died at a young age and Ann then married my Great, Great Grandfather William Hope. I have been unable to find any actual birth records for Ann, although all the censuses suggest she was born in Sussex, I am wondering if her actual birthplace may have been in Germany. I would be grateful for any info.

Hi Valerie

As we have been in conversation over another matter....birth registrations did not begin until 1837 and were not compulsory until 1874ish

Anything before that needs to be found on parish records

I believe safc used

https://familysearch.org/

or you could also try

http://www.freereg.org.uk/

They are both free sites

Thank you for all the info, it has helped a lot, I only wish I'd posted some help messages previously, it could have saved me lots of time! I had also been unsure of Ann's correct surname, which I thought was Suck, and now know it was Luck. I am very grateful, Kind regards, Valerie.
