Hannah WEST buried!

Hannah SCOTT (baptised 10th May 1789 at Horsted Keynes) was the wife of Samuel WEST (1764 - 1825) of Lindfield. Searching the burial registers and 1841 and 1851 census of Lindfield and surrounding parishes produced no evidence of Hannah WEST.
But, thanks to the Sussex Marriage Index CD a Hannah WEST married a William HEAVER at Hartfield in 1830. Witnesses were Edward and Philadelphia SCOTT. The 1851 census of East Grinstead has Hannah HEAVER a nurse in the High street born Horsted Keynes and William HEAVER in Forest Row with Esther WEST age 7 months, grand daughter.
FreeBMD has death entries for Hannah in 1869 and William in 1862.
So that is that then!
(Esther was the illegitimate daughter of Eliza WEST, Hannah and Samuel's daughter)
