James Howard Pettett baptised 12 Dec 1807 Hastings all Saints. Father James mother Elizabeth.
Freebmd has marriage James Howard Pettett Sept quarter 1842, Cuckfield West Sussex. Vol.7 . page 405.
Would love to know if possible the name of his new bride!

Who the heck did James marry?

Looking at the marriage record on FreeBMD there are three possible brides, one of whom is Susan Barnett.
1851 HO107 Piece 1642 Folio 259 Page 17
Address - Cuckfield
James Pettett 42 bricklayers labourer born Hastings Sussex
Susan Pettett 31 wife born Cuckfield
This looks the most likely but there was another bride on the FreeBMD record, a Susannah Stredder.
James and Susan are on the censuses to 1871, James on his own in 1881 and never any children with them.

1841 census of Cuckfield (HO107/1111/6, folio 48, page 18) shows the following:
Broad Street
Mary BARNETT 62
Fanny REILLY? 26
Susan BARNETT 22
All born in the county.
In the 1841 census, there is a Susanah STREDDER living in Lindfield, Sussex and from the 1851 census record it looks as if she married James TIDY and their first child George was born in Lindfield, so on the balance of probability I think Christanel is correct and James PETTET married Susan BARNETT.
Did James & Susan have any children? If so, the best way to confirm her maiden name is to purchase the birth certificate of one of her children.

Thank you both for your help. This gives us something to work on now. Not sure if there were children as he is not a direct ancestor but the brother of our combined gggrandfathers.
Thanks again,
Sue, Gene and Cheryl

I have Cuckfield church registers for some years if that helps.
