John RESTALL (1779-1852)

and Sophia CAMPBELL (c1783-1834)

John Restall and Sophia Campbell married on 20 August 1810 at Saint Mary's in Portsea, Hampshire.  John may have previously had a relationship with Elizabeth Aylwin (1785-1865) and they may have been my 4x Great Grandparents.  (Click here to see John and Elizabeth's possible place in my pedigree chart.)

John Restall was baptised on 4 November 1779 in Trotton, Sussex.  He was the son of John Restall (1759-1816) and Jane Jermain (?-1780).  At the time of his baptism his father was described a John Restall, junior and he was a farmer.  John died aged 73 years and was buried on 11 December 1852 in Trotton.  The burial register noted that he was from Rake.

Sophia Campbell's date and place of birth/baptism are unknown, to me.  As Sophia Restall she died aged 51 years and was buried on 24 June 1834 in Trotton.

John Restall may have been the father of an illegitimate son:
