Ticehursts from Battle, Sussex

Ticehursts from Battle, Sussex

I'm looking for any information on the Ticehurst family who lived in Battle, Sussex around the 1780-1820 period.

In particular I'd like to trace the family of William Ticehurst, born about 1795 in Battle who went on to marry Sarah Darby in 1825 in Chelmsford, Essex.

William was a captain in the RN and later with the East India company. He may have had business connections with the Drake family who were merchants in Malden, Essex

William had 8 children with Sarah and he died in 1880 in Oswestry, Shropshire where he lived the latter part of his life with his daughter Emily and her husband Henry Christian Corfield, a solicitor.

Regards,
Chris
