For the last forty years, I have been trying to work out the parents of Charles Pierce, bp 1788 in Cowfold, son of Thomas and Mary.
There were THREE Thomas Pierces who married a Mary in Cowfold, but they were all ineligible as too early or too late.
I have a DNA match with a descendant of Jane Pierce bp 1776, which makes me think that the 1776 marriage must be the right one, but it would be nice to see if it helpfully said "of Cowfold" or had relevant witnesses.
I do have another question which I would be grateful for help on, still on the Pierces, but I need to marshal my facts first. The last time I looked at the records for this, they were still held in West Street!
