   ch. 20 Feb 1842, Pagham, Sussex: Eliza daughter of Henry & Barbara Hammond

   Needs to be confirmed at West Sussex Record Office. Clearly there is a discrepancy between the Sussex Online Parish Clerks' database and FamilySearch's England Births and Christenings database. The FamilySearch database is considered more likely to be correct as it corresponds to a birth index entry and fits with the death of the four year old Eliza Hammond in 1846.
