Can anyone please help? I am stuck on William Head. According to 'Family Search' he was christened in in Ticehurst, Sussex, 1818 with parents Jesse Head and Sarah. On his marriage certificate, second marriage in 1858, he is said to be 35, his father is Jesse Head, a farmer.
Easy, you would say, just check the census returns. The only Jesse Head I can find in Sussex was married to Lucy, whom he married in 1816.
I cannot get to the Parish Register as I don't live in the UK. I have searched all the 1841 census, only one Jesse Head with a wife Sarah, they live in Wiltshire.
It is always possible that Jesse had died before 1841, but I can find no Sarah that matches either. It is also possible that the 'Family Search' record has the wrong mother's name, but I hope someone can give me some help.
