Ah, I see Mary was baptised 1731, so those marriages would all be too late.

Yes, I have the brothers and Sarah. I forgot to add her! I was in such a rush as my computer was due to close down for Windows updates.

John Hurst of Headley seems to have moved to Frensham later on. He only appears at Headley for the baptisms of three of his children.
He died in 1768 and his will mentions the children that were baptised at Headley - Ann, Sarah and John. There was also a Mary, who might have been baptised at Thursley in 1740.

I've updated the information in post #1 to give the children's baptisms. Many of the Frensham residents had children baptised at Haslemere.

Thanks for looking at this, Kate. The problem with this part of the country is that it is where three counties, Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire, meet.
