Is there nobody out there in England looking for Durmans??? My John lived in Bosham, Sussex, and on Hayling Island, in Hampshire. He was a shepherd, and may have been born in the area of Didling and Treyford, Sussex, in England. There were a lot of Durmans in that area at the time. John died on Hayling Island in 1816, supposely at age 64. His first wife was Olive Clear, they were married in 1787 at Chalton in Hampshire. His second wife, my great grandmother, was Sarah Coats from Chidham in Sussex. They married in 1804 at Portsea, (Portsmouth) Hampshire, England. My name is Pamela Durman Freestone.
