and Phoebe HILLS (c1790-?)

William Tullett and Phoebe Hills married by banns on 5 September 1807 in Slaugham, Sussex.  He was then of Cowfold, Sussex and she was of Slaugham.  (They were not my direct ancestors.)

William Tullett may have been born about 1786-8 in Cowfold and have been the son of William Tullett (1757-1817) and Phoebe Virgo (1760-1836).  He may have died between 1851 and 1861.

Phoebe Hills date and place of birth/baptism are unknown, to me.  She may have died before 1835.
