Ancestors of Mandy Willard

William LELLYETT (1777-?)

and Martha NYE (1780-1850)

William Lellyet and Martha Nye married on 30 April 1803 in Edburton, Sussex.  (They were not my direct ancestors.  William was the nephew of my 5x Great Grandfather, Samuel Lillyott.)

William Lellyett was baptised on 11 May 1777 in Woodmancote, Sussex.  He was the son of John Lillyot (1737-?) and Ann Thorpe.  In 1851, William was 75 years old and living alone in Poynings Street and he was an agricultural labourer.  When the 1861 census was recorded, William was an 84 year old widower and agricultural labourer living at Hale Green, Edburton, in the home of his daughter Sarah and her husband.

Martha Nye was baptised on 31 December 1780 in Henfield, Sussex.  She was the daughter of Richard Nye (1748-?) and Elizabeth Boniface.  Martha died aged 71 years and was buried on 3 November 1850 in Poynings.  Martha's sister Frances Nye (1787-1861) also married a William Lelliott (1787-1839).

The 1841 census records that the couple were living in Poynings Street, Poynings.  William was then a 65 year old agricultural labourer and Martha was 60.  Also at home on census night was 24 year old Richard, Eliza 20 and George 9.  They were then living next door to the family of Thomas Gumbrell.

William Lellyett and Martha Nye had 9 known children:

1. Frances Lelliot was baptised on 17 February 1804 in Poynings, Sussex.  In the baptism register her father's name was recorded as James, which I believe was an error.

   As Frances Lelliatt she married John Barker Muzzell by banns on 6 December 1823 in Poynings.  He was then of Newtimber, Sussex and she of Poynings.  The witnesses to the marriage were Henry Barker Muzzell and Maria Fuller.

   John was baptised on 3 March 1805 in Newtimber and was the son of Catherine Muzzell (1779-?).

   John and Frances had 11 known children:

   1. Caroline Barker Muzzle was baptised on 10 May 1824 in Newtimber.

   2. Frederick Barker Muzzle was baptised on 7 August 1829 in Newtimber.

   3. Charles Barker Muzzle was baptised on 10 June 1827 in Newtimber.  He married his cousin Sarah Anne Barker Muzzel on 25 May 1838 in Newtimber.  She was baptised as Sarah Ann Barker on 27 March 1831 in Newtimber and was the daughter of Henry Barker Muzzell (1806-?) and Ann. When the 1881 census was recorded the family were living at The Oak in Hurstpierpoint and Charles was then Gardener.  Charles and Sarah Ann had 13 known children, one of whom was:

      1. Edith-Ellen Barker Muzzell married Charles James Cox.

   4. Henry Barker Muzzle was baptised on 25 October 1829 in Newtimber.

      Henry married Mary Lelliott on 25 March 1850 in Henfield.  She was born on 28 February and baptised on 31 March 1822 in Henfield and was the daughter of William Lelliott (1787-1839) and Frances Nye (1787-1861).  In 1851 and 1881 census their surname was recorded as Barker.  In 1851 they were living at Southover in Hurstpierpoint where Henry was a gardener.  Also with them on census night was 19 year old visitor Sarah Lelliott who was a schoolmistress.  In 1881 the family were living in Railway Cottage in Keymer, Sussex and Henry was a signalman.  Henry and Mary had 5 known children:

      1. William Henry Barker was born on 27 June and baptised on 11 August 1850 in Henfield.  When the 1851 census was recorded he was 9 months old.  He married Hannah sometime before or about 1877.  When the 1881 census was recorded William Henry Muzzle was a 30 year old railway engine driver living with his 30 year old wife and 3 young children at 5 Bopeep Railway Cottages in St. Leonards near Hastings, Sussex.

      2. Charles Walter Muzzall was born on 25 November 1854 and baptised on 13 September 1857 in Henfield.

      3. Mary Jane Muzzall was baptised on 13 September 1857 in Henfield.  She was an unmarried 23 year old in 1881 and her place of birth was recorded as Yapton in the census.

      4. Amos Barker Muzzall was baptised on 23 December 1858 in Yapton, Sussex.  He was an unmarried 22 year old railway porter in 1881 living at home.

      5. Walter Barker was born about 1876 in Keymer, Sussex.  In 1881 he was 5 years old.

   5. John Barker was baptised on 10 March 1833 in Newtimber.  When the 1851 census was recorded he was an 18 year old living with his parents.

   6. William Barker Muzzle was baptised on 13 December 1835 in Newtimber.  However, his name was recorded as John in the baptism register, which I think was an error as in the 1851 census there was a 15 year old William living at home.

   7. Eliza Barker Muzzle was baptised on 28 October 1838 in Newtimber.

   8. George Barker Muzzle was baptised on 18 April 1840 in Newtimber.  He married Sarah.  They had at least 1 child:

2. Elizabeth Lelliott was baptised on 28 December 1805 in Poynings.  Her father's name was recorded as James in the baptism register, which I believe was a mistake.  When the 1851 census was recorded she was an unmarried 45 year old cook living at 64 East Street, Brighton.  In 1871 she was living with her son George and she was then said to be a 65 year old widow.
