The surname HISSEY may well *not* be mispelled. My partner has HISSEY ancestors, so recorded, in the Stanford-in-the-Vale area of Berkshire, where it also appears as HIZZEY.   Mike --- On Mon, 16/11/09, Nigel St C Gerdes <nigel.gerdes@milnet.uk.net> wrote: Hissey could be misspelled. The name Hussey is to be found in the area and indeed there was an Elizabeth Hussey baptised 13 June 1766 at Beenham, Berks  to John and Sarah Hussey nee Champ who in turn had been married 20 July 1752 at  Bradfield, Berks.
