    Issue of Henry Hemsley and Philadelphia Stephens  
1.   Henry HEMSLEY
Bap of Henry Hemsley 3 Aug 1806 at Framfield, Sussex, son of Henry & Philadelphia (ref FS Sussex register image).

There were 2 Henry Hemsleys born at Framfield, one bap 28 Aug 1805 (son of William & Lucy) and one bap 3 Aug 1806 (son of Henry & Philadelphia).
One was buried at Framfield in 1831 age 24 (making him born 1806-07).
The other moved to Kent married Sarah Oliver in 1840. There is no information about his father on the marriage certificate. His occupation was Bootmaker. His death in Jan 1883 at 77 gives his birth from Jan 1805-Jan 1806.
It would be strange for the eldest son of a farmer not to be a farmer in the same area.
These calculations support the view that it was this Henry who died young.
