Frances Tubbs

Pedigree
Last Edited: 2 Nov 2012
  • Anecdote*: Frances Tubbs may have been born outside of Sussex. There is a Joseph Tubb who is a stage coach owner Brighton/London:
    Joseph Tubb,
    Period: 1762
    Place: London/Brighton
    Occupation: Stage coach owner
    Page(s): 13, 14, 15
    There is also a baptism of a Frances Tubb on 15 Dec 1774 dau. Joseph Tubb at Lewes St John the Baptist sub Castro. This was the same year that our Frances Tubbs was married, so maybe they were brother and sister.
    Also, Tubb/Tubbs is not a very common name in Sussex - there are only 25 marriages for Tubb (and variants) between 1538 and 1837.
    Also, there are burials for Fanny Tubb 9 Sep 1790, and Joseph Tubb 17 Jan 1795, at Hartfield St Mary. Joseph's burial entry says "from Forest Row".1,2,3,4
  • Marriage*: Frances Tubbs married William Gillam on 23 January 1774 at Brighton, Sussex, EnglandB.3
  • Married Name: As of 23 January 1774, her married name was Gillam.
