AUSTIN - Caroline & Albert (Seeking Parents Of)

[Pandad]

Trying to establish the parents of Caroline & Albert AUSTIN (Sister & Brother). The only information I have is they both have Battle, Sussex as place of birth on the census. Caroline was born in abt 1818 and Albert abt 1822.

The IGI for Sussex has nothing on Albert but 2 x Caroline baptism, one x 22 Feb & one x 22 Mar 1822, in Rye, parents on both are John & Mary AUSTIN.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Rod.

Not much use to you at the moment (as they don't have your two), but worth keeping an eye on, is the Online Parish Clerk website for Sussex:

It will give you some background information about Battle.

FamilyHistoryOnline https://www.familyhistoryonline.net/login/logout.pl

has Albert Austen bap 8/8/1821 parents William/Charlotte Wm wheelwright
Caroline b 10/2/1808 bap 14/4/1808 parents John/Ann

These are the only baptisms for those names in Battle, but it does seem a fairly common surname.

Thanks very much Geoffers & Davran. It gives me a few more leads in the never ending quest for information.

Cheers
