William TERRY (1731-1786)

and Elizabeth STEEL (1733-1769)

 

William Terry and Elizabeth Steel were, I believe, my 6x Great Grandparents.  (Click here to see their place in my pedigree chart.)  They married on 21 October 1755 in Woodmancote, Sussex.  Elizabeth was of Brighthelmstone and married with the consent of parents.  William signed his name, whilst Elizabeth made her X mark.  The witnesses were John Steel and Henry Heath.

William Terry was baptised on 8 April 1731 in Woodmancote.  He was the son of 5 311 William Terry (c1700-1761) and 5 311 Sarah Worsfield (c1705-1757).  He was buried on 23 April 1786 in Woodmancote.

Elizabeth Steel was baptised on 13 May 1733 in Hurstpierpoint, Sussex.  She was the daughter of 5 312 John Steel (1707-1784) and 5 312 Elizabeth Bartholomew (1713-1791).  She was buried on 7 September 1769 in Woodmancote.  However, given that she married with parental consent, could this mean she was under 21 in 1755 and was, therefore, born after October 1734?

 

William Terry and Elizabeth Steel had 7 known children:

  1. Ann Terry, my 5x Great Grandmother, was baptised on 16 November 1755 in Newtimber, Sussex, although the baptism register records that her parents were of Woodmancote.  She married 5 305 Richard Spicer in 1778.  (They have their own page.)

  2. William Terry was baptised on 22 July 1757 in Woodmancote.

  3. John Terry was baptised on 12 August 1759 in Woodmancote.

    John married Ann Wood on 12 February 1786 in Woodmancote.

  4. Elizabeth Terry was baptised on 17 June 1761 in Woodmancote.

  5. Sarah Terry was baptised on 22 April 1763 in Woodmancote.

  6. Ephriam Terry was baptised on 26 May 1765 in Woodmancote.

  7. Barbara Terry was baptised on 13 August 1769 in Woodmancote and buried there on 12 January 1770.
