IF this is the correct marriage, why so far from Kirdford?
Why the gap before the 1st child - was there one or 2 born / baptized elsewhere?
(A Joseph Court son of James and Mary was baptised in Stalisfield Kent in July 1778, but I think this too far to be likely to be a child of this James and Mary)

Family Elizabeth ROBINSON, b. Abt 1778, Slinfold, Sussex, England , d. 17 Sep 1863, The Union Workhouse, Kirdford, Sussex, England (Age ~ 85 years) Married 7 May 1799 St. Margaret’s Church, Warnham, Sussex, England - No marriage for James and Elizabeth found in Kirdford or Slinfold (latter only looked at on the IGI). FamilySearch does have a marriage of a James Court to an Elizabeth Robinson in Warnham (c. 2-3miles from Slinfold) on 7 May 1799 - I guess it was this couple and the baptism of an Elizabeth Robinson in Slinfold in 1778 adds weight to this.
