I'm getting confused, as the village of Bepton is just 1.5 miles from Cocking and a Thomas Andrew is buried there on 1st April 1803.
This is my Thomas Andrew:
On the National Archives website:
Closes of arable land, pasture and woodground, and the barn standing upon one of the closes, called Woolverstone at Cocking, having the highway leading from Midhurst to Singleton on W. COWDRAY/1053-1066 1773-1844
These documents are held at West Sussex Record Office
Contents:
This property was bought by John Challen in 1820. Deeds, 1773-1786 (nos. 1053-1056), also relate to lands, arable, meadow, pasture and woodground called Sagers and Inholmes in Heyshott.
No. 1058 is a copy of the will (proved 1804) of Thomas Andrew of Cranleigh (co. Surr.). Nos. 1059, 1062-1064, are copies of documents in a chancery suit, Andrew v. Andrew and others, 1816-1822.
My Elizabeth is mentioned in this 1803 will. I have e-mailed Sussex RO for information about the Chancery suit.
However, if the Thomas born in 1738 died in 1748, who is my Thomas' parents? Was he baptised at Cocking or Bepton, or somewhere else?
