The 1841 census was taken in Bepton on 6 June and there were 207 people in the parish in 43 households (108 males and 99 females).  Four of  my direct ancestors were living in the parish on census night:  55 year old Ann Baxter, nee Pearson, 50 year old John Pearson and his 45 year old wife Charlotte Pearson, nee Denyer, and their daughter 4 year old daughter Lydia Pearson.

Lydia Charlotte Pearson married Edmund Goble and he was the son of Sarah Baxter, therefore, Lydia's Grandparents and Edmund's Great Grandparents were the same couple.

Ann Baxter, nee Pearson had an illegitimate son, George Pearson who was born in Midhurst in 1807.  In 1841 he together with his wife and 2 children were living on Bepton Common, near his Uncle John Pearson.  John was then a brick burner and George a brick maker.

 

The parish church of Bepton is dedicated to St. Mary.
