Peter AYLWIN
(1758-1833)
and Mary ENTICKNAP (c1761-1840)

Peter Aylwin
and
Mary Enticknap
may have been my 5x Great Grandparents. (Click
here to see their
possible place in my pedigree chart.) They
married by licence on 16 October 1781 in
Treyford cum Didling, Sussex. Their marriage licence was issued on 12
October 1781 by the Archdeaconry of Chichester, which recorded that he was a
24 year old farmer of Treyford and she was a 20 year old spinster who
married with the consent of Thomas Dare.
Peter Aylwin was
baptised on 6 August 1758 in Treyford cum Didling. Unfortunately the
names of his parents were not recorded in the baptism register, but he was
most probably the son of Thomas Aylwin (c1713-1776) and
Sarah Poling
(c1728-1808). Peter died aged 75 years and was buried on 18
December 1833 in Treyford.
Mary Enticknap's date and place of
birth/baptism are unknown, to me. Might she have been baptised on 25
June 1761 in Lurgashall, Sussex, the daughter of Ann Enticknap?
She may have died aged 78 years in Treyford and have been buried on
26 March 1840 or she may have died aged 83 in Didling and have been buried
on 21 January 1843. Both burials were recorded in the Treyford cum
Didling burial register. I think it more likely she died in Treyford.
