Notes - The MI is considered definite, as it refers to her being the husband of Peter. General searches in the BMD index shows that this is the only sensible one, given that Peter is a widower at the 1851 Census. But it does raise the question of why she was in Steyning, 6 miles away when she died. It does look as if the river Adur might be navigable, so Peter might have had a boat and taken her there.... but then what? An accident? Or maybe the ease of getting there by boat meant they had friends there.
The graveyard also has a MI to Anna Maria Gaze JUNIPER. This is almost certainly the wife of her brother in law, Skyles. Though it is unclear why she is married here, rather than in Norfolk......
