Thomas Ensing … married at Brightling, co. Sussex, on 27 May 1594, Constance Pilcher, daughter of DavidB Pilcher of Battle, co. Sussex. … Brightling was the parish immediately south-west of Robertsbridge. As no other persons named Ensing or Pilcher were recorded in the Brightling parish register before 1600, it is not clear why the couple chose to be married there unless it was in the vicinity of their birth.
