The bulk of the research on the Thwaites family of Hastings was done by Caroline and Harold Bamber, with more recent contributions from David Thwaites of Canada, Kim Olsen of Australia and Lesley Thwaites of England. The fact of the marriage at Battle was discovered by Nancy Martin of Canada, and told to me by Lesley Thwaites and the latter discovered the Thwaites family record in the parish church at Rotherhithe. I extend my grateful thanks to both of them for passing this information on to me. for a note on his parentage see below#

One presumes that he must have died before this without having any living heirs in 1803? There is a marriage record of 'George Thwaites of the Parish of St. Clements in the Town of Hastings, Sussex' to Ann West. The licence was issued on 9th November 1782 and a John Holt of Rye, Sussex stoodbond. The marriage took place at Stone in Oxney church on 10th December 1782 and was witnessed by John Holt and a William Mackloy.

# The parents of Jeremiah Thwaites Pending further investigation, I have assumed that the Jeremiah Thwaites of Rotherhithe who married Mary Sargent in the parish church at Battle in 1733, is the same person as the Jeremiah Thwaites who was baptised in Rotherhithe parish church in 1708. Unfortunately the marriage licence allegation and bond, which might have given us Jeremiah's age at the time of his marriage apparently exists no more, and his grave stone, when transcribed in the 1890s was already in such poor repair that his age at death could not be read. In corroboration of this parentage is the fact that the father of the Rotherhithe Jeremiah Thwaites was a sail maker, as was Jeremiah Thwaites of Hastings and his son Thomas.
