The WADEY Family of Sussex

I have no known Wadey ancestors of my own.

In April 2009 I received an email from Eric Shanburn who wondered if I knew any more about his ancestors Charles Belton (1831-1894) and Hannah Wadey (1834-1908). At that point all I knew is that they were the parents of Eliza Belton (1854-?) who had married James Champion (1850-?).

James was the son of James Champion (1825-1910) and Frances Parsons (1828-1888) and she was the daughter of William Parsons (1792-?) and Hannah Thorns (1790-?), who were also the parents of Rebecca Parsons (1817-1854) who married John Silverson (1816-1884). John and Rebecca were the parents of Henry Silverson (1850-1835) who married my 3x Great Grandmother Eliza Stillaway (1846-1908).

As a result of Eric's email I went in search of Charles and Hannah and typed up a family group page for them. I then went in search of Hannah's ancestors, a trail leading back from Petworth, to Pulborough and then to Billingshurst.
