Henry Horn and Elizabeth Goad married by banns on 28 October 1823 at St. Nicholas, Brighton.  He was a bachelor and she a spinster and they were both of Brighton.  (They were not my direct ancestors.)

Henry Horn was born about 1801/2 in Sussex, possibly in South Windham as per the 1851 census or Blatchington as per the 1861 census.  The Sussex marriage index records that a John Horne and Elizabeth Browne, widow, married on 21 November 1796 in East Blatchington.  Might they have been Henry's parents?
