My research for this post commenced with Hetty Ticehurst who married Isaac Crouch. Their child Rhoda Crouch married James Benjamin Riches who in turn had a daughter Jessie Riches who married Frederick Wallis. Fred and Jessie had 2 daughters, Marjorie and Joan, and they are very keen to know more about their ancestors.
Samuel and Philadelphia Ticehurst - Parents of Esther (Hetty) Ticehurst
You would think the name Philadelphia Buss would be very uncommon, but according to Census records and personal family trees on Ancestry, there were two Philadelphia Buss living in Brightling, Sussex with parents Richard & Mary Buss and/or William & Mary Buss. Without birth & marriage certificates it then has to be an educated guess as to who were Philadelphia's parents. I have chosen Richard & Mary. It is quite likely that the two Philadelphia Buss' are the same person. If anyone can give more light on the subject please advise.
Philadelphia Buss born 1782 and died 1860 in Brightling, Sussex married Samuel Ticehurst. They had 5 children:
Sarah Ticehurst born 1815 in Brightling, Sussex and died January 1892 in Battle, Sussex, England.
Esther (Hetty) Ticehurst born about 1818 in Brightling and died 1906 in Southborough, Kent.
George Ticehurst baptised 8 October 1820 in Brightling. George married Cecelia born 1821 in Lambeth, Surrey and they had a son George born 1843 in Lambeth. In the 1881 Census Rhoda Crouch (24) was the Housekeeper for her uncle George (brother of Hetty), a Butcher in Dartford. 1891 Census George was residing with James & Rhoda Riches & daughter Lily in Dartford, Kent.
Robert Ticehurst born 1823 in Brightling and died 1898 in Tonbridge, Kent.
Elizabeth Ticehurst born 1825 in Brightling and died January 1906 in Southborough, Kent. Elizabeth married Henry Relf born 1826 in Brightling and died April 1889 in Rotherfield, Sussex, England. In the 1851 Census they were living with Philadelphia Ticehurst, a widow, on 20 acres at Brightling.
1841 Census Philadelphia Ticehurst was a Farmer (no Samuel), and 1851 Census Philadelphia was a widow (no Samuel) on 20 acres in Brightling. Birth and dates for Samuel Ticehurst are 1782 - 1861, so where was he in 1841 & 1851 census? I need furthur confirmation on Samuel's dates as found on Ancestry, as they do not stackup!
