MARY BOURNE was born circa 1750. She was baptised,
as daughter of THOMAS BOURNE (no mother's name given), on 29th April 1750 at Brightling, Sussex
(source : BVRI 2nd edition).
She married THOMAS WESTON
on 22nd January 1770 in Brightling, Sussex (source : David Packham).
He was born circa 1743 and was baptised, to parents JOHN WESTON and ELIZABETH GRANT,
on November 16th 1743 in Salehurst, Sussex
(source : Mandy Willard). The banns were published in Brightling, Sussex, on 4th, 11th and 18th February 1770
(source : Mandy Willard).They both signed their names, as did the witnesses Henry
Bourne and Edward French (source : Mandy Willard). At the time of the wedding, Thomas was
of Salehurst, Sussex, and Mary was of Brightling, Sussex (source : Mandy Willard).
Mary died "in childbed", aged 37, in 1787 (source : Mandy Willard) and was buried on 1st June 1787 in Salehurst,
Sussex (source : David Packham).
Thomas was buried on 19th June 1820 in Robertsbridge, Sussex (source : David Packham).
The children were not mentioned in Sarah's father's 1788 will,
and it would seem likely that some of them went to live with Sarah's
brother Henry and his wife, who had no children of their own (source : Mandy Willard).
