John Akehurst

Parents:

• Birth: John Akehurst was born in 1752 at Hellingly, Sussex, England^B.
• Baptism*: John Akehurst was baptized on 4 October 1752 at Hellingly, Sussex, England^B, surname spelt AKEHURST.¹
• He was the son of John Akehurst and Elizabeth Fuller.
• Anecdote: Discussion ********
  Possible baptisms for John Akehurst are:
  12.12.1751 John son of John and Elizabeth Ackhurst, and
  4.10.1752 John son of John and Elizabeth Akehurst.
  Which one is the John Akehurst who married Elizabeth Collen (who I will call JOHN1), and which is the John Akehurst who married Lucy Rippington (JOHN2)?
  JOHN1 was buried on 14 Apr 1829 age 78 years, while JOHN2 was buried on 17 Dec 1831 age 79 years (as proved by his will). The latter burial would imply that JOHN2 was born between 18 Dec 1751 and 17 Dec 1752 which would agree with the 1752 baptism. The former burial would imply that JOHN1 was born between 15 Apr 1750 and 14 Apr 1751 which doesn't fit any of the baptisms. However, the data (which may be incorrect!) implies that JOHN1 was older than JOHN2, so the best assumption for now appears to be that the 1751 baptism is for JOHN1 and the 1752 baptism for JOHN2.
  Now, the next problem is matching the baptisms to the two marriages:
  John Akehurst and Elizabeth BURWASH on 24 Jun 1751 at Hellingly.
  John Akehurst and Elizabeth FULLER on 14 Nov 1751 at Hellingly.
  At this stage we can only make an assumption and I feel the best one would be that JOHN1 is the son of Elizabeth BURWASH given that he would have been baptised 6 months after the marriage, a fairly common occurrence. JOHN2 would then have been baptised the son of Elizabeth FULLER 13 months after the marriage. The alternative (if JOHN1 was the son of Elizbeth FULLER) would mean that he was baptised just one month after the marriage. Given that he was not noted as illegitimate, and that baptisms usually occurred about one month after the birth, this would seem to be the least likely answer.
  Note that there is also a burial in Alfriston of a John Akehurst on 9 Jan 1828 with age given as 77 years which may account for the 1751 baptism. This would put his birth between 10 Jan 1750 and 9 Jan 1751. HOWEVER, there may be a c1751 baptism at Alfriston that we dont know about as there are crucial gaps in the records there, so this is being ignored for now. Needs further work.
