Hi Shelley,
My part of the Maxted family come from the ickham area. For info, Ickham, Wickham(breaux), Littlebourne and Bramling are all very close together. There's only about a mile between any of them, so it's not unusual for one child to be born / baptised in a different village to the rest of the family.
The Maxteds were a farming family and frequently seem to have moved around the area from one farm to another. My 2xg grandfather was born in Ickham. In each census he is in a different village, but he never seems to have gone more than about 10 miles from where he was born. This was common at the time.
There is also an Elizabeth Maxted, baptised in Ickham May 15 1774, parents Thomas and Elizabeth Maxted. This may be another sister.
All the best,
Mark
