  • Baptism*: Stephen Marchant was baptized on 10 December 1794 at St Nicholas, Brighton, Sussex, EnglandB.1
  • He was the son of Thomas Marchant and Sarah Steward.
  • Anecdote*: Although Stephen's parents are shown as Thomas Marchant and Sarah Steward there is an equal chance that his parents were Jonas and Mary Marchant as they baptised a Stephen Marchant on 6 Jan 1794 in Brighton. Whichever the case, they lay on the same tree and have the same grandparents, as Jonas and Thomas are brothers. Other possibilities which were considered were Stephen Marchant, baptised 15 Apr 1792 in Brighton to Stephen Marchant and Hannah Grinyer. However, there was a Stephen Marchant buried in 1815 age 23 years which seems to account for him. There is another, less likely chance, that his parents were William Marchant and Susanna Gallard (married 20 Sep 1786, Brighton) as there is a Stephen baptised 13 Feb 1790 to William and Susan Marchant. However, there is a Stephen Marchant buried 16 May 1790 in Brighton which could be this child. Further work may resolve this.
    Note that the 1861 census gives Stephen's age as 68 years, implying a birth date c1793. The 1851 census gives his age as 60 years implying he was born c1791.1
  • Marriage*: Stephen Marchant married Sarah Harman on 1 November 1823 at Brighton, Sussex, EnglandB, both of this parish.2
  • Marriage*: Stephen Marchant married Alice Haryatt on 1 April 1827 at Brighton, Sussex, EnglandB, Stephen is a widower, both of this parish.2
  • Occupation*: Stephen Marchant was a fisherman on 30 March 1851.3
  • Residence*: On 30 March 1851 Stephen Marchant and Alice Haryatt lived at 19 Poplar Place, Brighton, Sussex, England.3
  • Occupation: Stephen Marchant was a fishing man on 7 April 1861.4
  • Residence: On 7 April 1861 Stephen Marchant and Alice Haryatt lived at 24 New Dorset St, Brighton, Sussex, England.4
