Richard Weston, Mayfield, Sussex
Name: Richard Weston
Date and place of birth: 1703 Mayfield, Sussex Names of parents: John Weston and Elizabeth Date and place of baptism: 10/9/1703 St. Dunstan's Mayfield Marriage: 3/10/1731 St. Dunstan’s Mayfield, Sussex to Sarah Pocock Occupation(s): husbandman Addresses where they lived: Mayfield, Sussex Date, place and cause of death; Sussex June 1779 Date and place of burial. 25/6/1779 St. Dunstan's Mayfield, Sussex Details of will / administration of their estate: Not found Memorial inscription: Unknown Children: John bpt 27/3/1733 St. Dunstan’s and Elizabeth 7/11/1734. There is also a baptism of a Mary at Biddenden, Kent 30/5/1737 which may also belong to the same family. Lots of confusion here with information and sources!! 1. I have always attributed my ancestor to the above couple but I can no longer find records that I could before and I did not note where I found them. However I did find another baptism of Elizabeth Weston at St. Dunstans on 12/4/1737 to Robert Weston and Elizabeth Rochester. However my Elizabeth married at Mayfield May 1756 to John Midmore, so I probably thought as the 2nd Elizabeth was a minor, so it is more likely the first Elizabeth. On reflection, I also chose my Elizabeth as daughter of Richard and Sarah, because she used those names for some of her children, but did not use Robert. 2. I found some records on the Weald site, but I thought there were Mayfield records online somewhere, but I cannot find them now. 3. There are some amazing trees on Ancestry with Richard dying at 100 years of age and attached to parents John Weston and Elizabeth Mayoe-Clarke .. Richard’s baptism is given as 10/9/1703 but I have not been able to find it.. Help.. I have selected from some of the following information that Elizabeth has given me, which supports and Ancestral file that I had found some time back on familysearch. It tied the three generations together and had a will proved 25/11/1736 for John Weston of Rutherfield, Sussex. When I purchase this will I hope it will prove this conclusively.

Many thanks for all that information Liza, lots to absorb.
I did find in my documents, that some time back, I had found on familysearch, an Ancestral file, which had my Elizabeth the daughter of Richard Weston born 1703, his parents John Weston and Elizabeth, with a will for John Weston proved 25/11/1736 of Rutherfield, Sussex. Not sure if this person had bought the will and it proved this connection. Obviously I need to find this will and purchase it . Many thanks again.

Liza if you are there can you see the E Book that I have just posted about? Thanks. Julie
The Westons are really quite interesting .. I hope the pedigree charts in the E Book might give me more clues.. It looks like it was originally de Weston. |
