    Are you quite certain he was born in Sussex?

    The next step is to find his marriage.

    Work systematically backwards, one step at a time, one generation at a time.

    If you want people to search for you, you'll need to quote parishes and census references.

    Hi riverrother12
    It would be more helpful if you used useful headings as thread headings. I, for one, look at only the messages that look as if they are if interest to me or look as though I might be able to answer

    enjoy this fabulous site that is british-genealogy.com

    Yes I do appreciate the contradiction that I did look at this one!

    Hi riverrother12,

    I have edited the title to reflect the subject.

    The only reference I can find is the 1841 census on familysearch (hence no census ref)

    John Fosberry, Male, Age: 50
    Birthplace: Sussex
    Registration District: Midhurst, Sussex, Sub-District: Harting, Parish: Rogate

    It is also on FMP but I don't have a sub.

    SussexOPC says HO 107/1101/5. Schedule: 51.
    Rogate 1841

    Fosberry, John. Age 50, Occupation: Ag Lab.
    Mary Fosberry, 43
    Henry Fosberry, 15
    Jane Fosberry, 9
    Frederick Fosberry, 7
    Caroline Fosberry, 3

    Says all born in county

    Can not find a marriage anywhere. Was hoping it would give his fathers name at least.

    Sorry I have been no help at all.

    Hmmm. Let's try HO 107/1101/5 folio 26 page 12.

    What might be the same family in 1851 - HO 107/1654 f 417 p 3

    The Head and his wife are both shown as having been born in Hartley, Hampshire

    Perhaps the questioner will come back with more information.
