I am sorry to sound a discordant note but some of the information displayed here is inaccurate. For instance, Jane Tyhurst, the daughter of Richard Tyhurst and Abigail Baker, did not die in the USA in 1828 - she died at the age of 88 on 9 February 1888 in Pembury, Kent. She married Richard Ashby, son of Samuel Ashby and Mercy Noakes, on 18 March 1820 in Westfield, Sussex and had six children - Eliza Ashby (born 1821), George Ashby (1823), Jane Frances Ashby (1825), Frederick Ashby (1828) and Clara Ashby (1839). Jane Tyhurst was my gt-gt-gt-grandmother and Eliza was my gt-gt-grandmother. On the night of the 1881 UK Census they were staying together at Hawkwell, Pembury. If you would like more details about the family please feel free to contact me. Unfortunately errors of this kind cast doubts about other information that is presented here as fact!

Please don't be testy. I would hope that we are all open to corrections and additions to our work. This is supposed to be fun.

As we are having a gathering of Tyhurst kin at my location next month, I would welcome any information and documentation you can share with us. The resulting work will be shared.

I hope the following may be useful.
Regarding Andrew Tyhurst (1744 - 1808) I have no surname for his wife Elizabeth, but have four recorded children - Solomon (born 29 November 1770), Richard (about 1772), Hannah (31 March 1776) and Elizabeth (about 1779). I then have Richard Tyhurst marrying Abigail Baker on 9 October 1792 in Westfield. Abigail was the daughter of William Baker and Sarah Blackman who married on 25 October 1770 in Westfield. I believe Sarah's parents were Jeffrey Blackman and Sarah Badcock, who married on 30 March 1741 in Westfield. I have no parents for William Baker. Sarah Blackman was born in about 1752 and had two known siblings, Jeffrey (about 1743) and Dinah (about 1754).

I have the same nine children for Richard Tyhurst and Abigail Baker as you:- Richard, John, Hannah, Jane, Mary, Elizabeth, Samuel, Martha and Robert. Jane Tyhurst married Richard Ashby. She was born in 1799 and died on 9 February 1888. Richard Ashby was a farmer from Pembury and he was born in about 1795 in Heathfield, East Sussex, and died on 21 February 1880. They married on 18 March 1820 in Westfield. Richard Ashby was one of eight children and his parents were Samuel Ashby (born 19 September 1770 in Ticehurst, Sussex and died 11 September 1828 at Tudeley, Kent) and Mercy Noakes (died 29 May 1811 at Ticehurst, Sussex). They married on 9 September 1792 at Tonbridge, Kent. I have no parents for Mercy, but Samuel's parents were Richard Ashby (born about 27 February 1745/46 in Wadhurst, Sussex and died 1776) and Elizabeth Crouch (born about 1735 in Ticehurst, Sussex and died 5 March 1792, also in Ticehurst). This Richard Ashby's family goes back another six generations to John Ashby who lived between about 1560 and 1648 in Rotherfield, East Sussex. I am indebted to Felicity Cox for all this Ashby information.

Jane Tyhurst's and Richard Ashby's eldest daughter, Eliza, was born in about 1821 and died after 1901. She married Henry Featherstone Luck (1811 - 1893) although we have never found evidence of their wedding. He was the son of Thomas Luck (1768 - 1841) and Mary Waite (1771 - 9 November 1816) who married in Hadlow, Kent on 27 May 1795. Thomas Luck's parents were Oliver Luck (1735 - 1 July 1786) and Mercy Martyr (1737 - 25 September 1787), while Mary Waite's parents were Ric Waite (born 12 January 1730/31) and Sarah Brackpool (born about 1737).

Henry Featherstone Luck and Eliza Ashby had seven children:- Jane Frances Luck (25 October 1846 - 14 October 1930) who married my great-grandfather, John Waterman; Clara Luck (born September 1848), Elizabeth Luck (September 1853 - 6 May 1943) who married Thomas Lambert, a miller of Bourne Mill, Hadlow, Kent, whose family can be traced back another six generations; Annie Maria Luck (born about 1856); Kate Luck (born about 1858); Henry Featherstone Luck (born 1860); and, George Arthur Luck (born 1863).

I have further information about all of these families if anyone is interested.
