24/4/2012 Confirmed birth and baptism details as Lewes Records Office. Cannot find a marriage registration on checking from 1830 through to 1837 for both Rotherfield and Mayfield parish registers. Found a document - PAR465/9/1/42 - a removal order to Mayfield from Rotherfield for a Henney Deacon, dated 8th October 1831. There is no mention of the child's father or Henney's family. I checked the baptism register for Rotherfield up to the end of 1820, but could see no siblings. 26/10/2012 - Checked with the West Sussex Records Office in Chichester, and Henney was not buried at either Keymer or Clayton churchyard. Perhaps she was buried either in Burgess Hill, or back Rotherfield Way. 7/1/2013 - Visit to Lewes Records Office confirmed she was not buried either in Mayfield or Rotherfield. Did however find a Mayfield bastardy bond PAR422/34/2/133 dated 24 Dec 1830, for a female child born 28/10/1830, against Henry Killick, yeoman of Rotherfield, the reputed father of the illegitimate daughter of Henney Deacon. Henry had to pay 16 shillings costs to prepare the order, plus 2 shillings a week maintenance to Mayfield parish. Henney was also bound to pay 6 pennies a week to Mayfield parish, in case she shall not nurse and take care of the said child herself. Found online through the Mormons genealogy website, under Personal Ancestry, details of a copy of a register of death which was obtained in May 1998, for Henny. She died on 28th January 1851 in Keymer, aged 40, wife of Henry Killick, labourer. Cause of death was fatal syncope, 30 minutes. Informant was Inigo Gell deputy coroner Lewes. Registered 19th February by Billy Heave registrar. It also has details of the Hurstpierpoint church bishops transcripts of burials, and shows Henney Killick No. 1181, abode Burgess Hill in Clayton or Keymer, buried 2nd February 1851, aged 40, and the ceremony performed by Carey Borrer, rector.
