Edward Deeks was born about 1710 or earlier. I have not found his baptism. Edward married a girl called Sarah Chapman. I have not yet found their marriage. His children were all baptised in Wickhambrook at the Badmondisfield Hall Independent Church. However their children that died were buried in Hundon, as was Edward and his wife Sarah suggesting that they were living in Hundon. Possibly Edward was born in Hundon.
Sarah Chapman was born about 1710 or earlier. Her maiden name was given on her burial entry in the Hundon Parish Records.
Edward and Sarah had 11 children.

I did visit Wickhambrook Churchyard to see if there was any evidence of the Deeks Family. Sadly the graveyard has been badly neglected. Many of the stones have been moved and either proped up against the church or as shown here broken and thrown into a corner of the Churchyard.
Edward and Sarah are both buried at Hundon. Edward on 10 Aug 1767 and Sarah on 7 Dec 1782.
