Susanna, b. Est 1702, d. Yes, date unknown (Grandmother)
Notes - (Research):A Thomas Sellen married an Ann Grigsby in Hucking in 1789 (19 May). This is the only Ann I know of of a suitable age with a link to Hucking, but her marriage in 1783 (which records her with her distinctive name of Ann Phillis) suggests the 1789 marriage was not her. I think it was probably her sister Frances, with the Christian name mis-recorded (in BTs or transcript).

Ann Phillis Grigsby, sp of Detling to George Burr, ba of Thurnham when they married, married by licence, witnesses Cleavend Sears and Robt Athawes.
No children of this marriage baptised in Thurnham Parish Church (from KFHS transcribed data); none found in index on FMP, 20 Jul 2019 - includes most but not all churches in the area. But maybe they didn't live in the area.
