- RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. Marriage and burial not listed in Arlington parish records.
2. Reviewed Rootsweb Worldconnect and LDS Family Search 15 May 2003.
3. Email from Val Bray [mailto:valjoy.bray@yahoo.com.au], Aug 22, 2006: My information from Folkington, Sussex (very close to Arlington) came from FHL film 1364154, and the Sussex Marriages Index (a CD issued by the Sussex Family History Group from parish registers).
Thomas (bapt. 7 Apr 1782, Arlington) married Ann Richardson a widow, at Brighton, Sussex on 30 Dec 1826. Children were Jane 1827, George 1830, Sarah 1832, John 1834. (from the census). Thomas died 15 Mar 1845 at Hellingly, Sussex.
4. Email from Val Bray [valjoy.bray@yahoo.com.au] December 17, 2006: Ann Richardson (married to Thomas Osborne, 30 Dec 1826) was a widow and I do not know her single name. In 1851 census she says she is born in Hailsham about 1793/4. I'm still looking for her death.

CHRISTENING:
1. Source of christening and burial information from extracts of the Registers of Arlington Parish Church, Sussex, England from 1700 onwards by correspondence (copy on file) of 30 Nov 1953 from George Mitchell of Berwick Rectory, Nr. Polegate, Sussex. Cover letter reads: "In reply to your request for information about the Osborne family, I have searched the Registers from 1700 onwards, and find the entries given on the enclosed sheet. It is unfortunate that the marriage entries are so few, but it must be remembered that marriages usually take place in the woman's parish, and there is no means of finding out where this might be apart from inspecting the registers of the district. I have no record at all under the name of Daw; Con Osborne is married to Sarah Coleman in his 24th year, but if this is the Sarah who died in 1806, he may have married again between 1806 and 1813, though for the reason given the marriage would not be in the Arlington Registers. I have an older Register going back to 1609, but I have not searched this; it is in latin, and would take some time to go through... There is no one of the name of Osborne in the parish now, and my oldest inhabitants cannot remember any family of this name. The parish, which still covers about 24 square miles, was twice as large until 1845, when a 'daughter' parish was carved out of it, and it may be that there are entries after this year in the records of that Parish... If you are interested in 'your old Church,' I may say that it is an unusually fine one, and dates back before the landing of the Conqueror..." He also notes: "It is more than likely that 'Osborne' and 'Osborn' are the same family, and 'Edward' and 'Edmond' may be the same person."
Baptisms:
1782 Apr 7, Thomas, son of Edw. and Ann Osborn.
MARRIAGE:
1. Online Ordinance Index FHL film m135331 marriage extraction: Thomas Osborne and Ann Richardson, md. 30 Dec 1826 at Brighton, Sussex, England. Per notes above I believe Richardson may be a surname from a previous marriage.
DEATH:
1. Per copy of death certificate on file from the General Register Office: Hellingly Subdistrict, Hailsham District, Sussex County, 1845, No. 429: Died 15 Mar 1845 at Hellingly workhouse, Thomas Osborne, male, 65 years, labourer, died of ulcerated intestines, reported 17 Mar 1845 by Thomas Holman present at the death Hellingly workhouse. Note age discrepancy and Val Bray's comments on this below.
2. Val Bray [mailto:valjoy.bray@yahoo.com.au], November 03, 2006: Thomas Osborne (bapt. 7 Apr 1782 father Edmund) died 15 Mar 1845. The informants weren't always sure of the age. If you can't read and write you probably can't count either.
