Hi Heather, apart from the trees on ancestry which give some more details you could search the 1911 census for 53 Coningham Road, Shepherds Bush under the name Feichtlbaner which has George and Alice and the children. Alice married George 26/6/1892 Islington, Jun 1/4 , 1b, 336. A copy of the marriage entry is on Ancestry. There is a marriage for Alice Feichtlbauer Dec 1908, Fulham, 1a, 620, although whether this is the same Alice is unknown. Hope this helps, Vic 9082.

The GRATWICK family of Godshill in Cowfold were a very influential family around at that time and immediately spring to mind. There are also other branches of the same family in Bolney, Beeding, West Grinstead, Shermanbury and many other parishes. See "Sussex Genealogies Horsham Centre" by John Comber for further details. It has been filmed by the LDS and is also available on CD. Best wishes, Marion Woolgar Bognor Regis, West Sussex SFHG Member No: 3323

Hi Christine, the Online Parish Clerks website gives for 1841 census the property called “ Burdock”, occupied at that time by Henry Pullen and Sarah Luxford. The site is searchable by surname or property name so maybe give it a whirl. There is a development, expensive, in Fittleworth Road, Wisborough called Burdocks which possibly may be on the same site. web link http://www.sussex-opc.org/index.php?t=censusreturn&q=4279 WSRO index has for July 1890/6 records for Killick, Burdocks. Ref. Kevis 1/K104/3. In 1901 they have Entiknap, Burdocks under ref. Kevis 1/ E165/6. If you still feel it is Barracks then they also have “Notes of Sussex Barracks 1793-1815” under ref. MP2549. Regards, vic 9082

As part of my One name Study into the Tribe surname, I came across a number of Tribe families living in the Barracks at Wisborough Green. If anybody does know anything about the "barracks", I would be interested, too. Regards from East Sussex. Jeff Tribe ONS SFHG Ps - I might even nip over there myself on the way to Thakeham.

Hello Listers   I wonder if any of you live in or near Wisborough Green & might be able to solve a bit of a mystery for me?   I just returned to Canada from a trip to Sussex during which I discovered the location of my 4x greatgrandfather's 1842 residence in Wisborough Green. I had previously found a reference to his name in the SFHG online data archive so while I was there I consulted the tithe map & accompanying apportionment at the West Sx Records Office.   After discovering the location of the cottages in which my ancestor lived in 1842 - apparently a block of 4 at the time - I then compared the tithe map of 1842 to my OS Explorer Series map (2 1/2 inch to the mile) and wanted to check if the cottages are still there.   Unfortunately time and the weather prevented another trip into West Sx to check it out for myself. So, from my computer here in Ottawa, yesterday I used Google's Streetview to tour along the Petworth Road in the vicinity (can't remember now how I got there!). Unfortunately the trees along the road obscure a certain amount but there are tantalizing views of a 2-storey building set back from the road which may or may not be the actual block of cottages.

Judy, I am interested in the period of 1628 - 1632 in Cowfold.  Who or what family was wealthy enough to have servants around that time and if there was any epidemic/illness that might have caused more than the usual number of deaths in the village. If you or anyone who attends that village history day might have that information or might know of any articles or publications that might help me to find out that information I would be very grateful.  Thanks, Donna Michigan, USA   The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it will change; the realist adjusts the sails. ________________________________ From: Judy Excell <[email protected]> To: SFHG Mailing List <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 15, 2012 7:04 AM Subject: [SFHG] Cowfold Village History Day 27 October 2012 For those interested and able to get there: Cowfold Village History Day Saturday 27th October 2012 11am to 6pm Cowfold Village Hall, Bolney Road, Cowfold, Nr Horsham, West Sussex, RH13 8AA The village Hall is in the centre of Cowfold on the A272.

Many thanks to those who replied to my request for a simple picture database. I will get cracking on with it! Peter Cox

A reminder that there is an event at Littlehampton Museum tomorrow afternoon (Sat 13 Oct). It is the second of two "Family History : Ask the Experts" sessions. The event will be held from 2.00pm to 4.30pm. Admission is free and there is a Pay-and-Display car park right on the doorstep. SFHG are providing the 'Experts', so if you are in the area, why not come along and say hello? More information at http://www.littlehampton-tc.gov.uk/main.cfm?type=2011EVENTSPROGRAMM .

Our eyes and brains are much better at character recognition (thank goodness!) than OCR software. This is even more true when the original text is in a newspaper, where space on the page is valuable and the typesetters - especially in the past - pushed the letters as close together as possible in order to cram more text onto their page. The inked letters often touched each other, making two consecutive character appear to be one ... and, of course, portions of a letter may have faded with age or even failed to print. Hence, OCR programs find older newspaper text particularly manglable. (There you go, Tony!)

Thanks Phil. The degree of manglement of the text is severe! I would have thought even a computer could do better. It's not just the 18th Century papers which suffer, but also later ones, where legibility is greatly improved.

Russell - I had a look at this archive, and was astonished to hit gold at the first attempt - the Snatt family has a highwayman in its Tree! I discovered that merely from searching on our surname and reading the extracts which appeared - I didn't need to buy any full articles. I think the extracts are intended to be the headlines, which didn't exist in old newspapers, plus the first line of the article, and the scanner often picks up the line just before the beginning of the article instead. So the heading for the entry about the death of Spencer Snatt is an advertisement for cocoa! Another drawback is that the extracts are computer-generated (presumably there's a technical name for it), and the computer seems to makes things up if it can't figure out the actual words, so for example, I got a lot of items covering a mine disaster in Scotland, where it had transcribed 'shaft' as 'snatt'. It looks as if the project is in its infancy at present - only a few newspapers have been transcribed. So, to answer your question - it's undoubtedly useful, but whether it gives value for money will be a matter of personal opinion.

The mangled text that you referred to, Mike, is the result of running the photo or scanned copy of the original document through an Optical Character Recognition ("OCR") program. When the original text is small or faded or the characters are too close together, OCR errors occur. But OCR programs have improved enormously in recent years, making them fairly usable for this sort of task. http://newspaperarchive.com is a similar site, although I have to say that the search engine leaves much to be desired, at the moment.

Diana - you do not have to join anything to start your own one-name study but over time you might want to join the Guild to keep in contact with like minded genealogists.

Peter, you could try saving the scanned images in Brothers Keeper. I have saved a few photos and intend to expand on this and hopefully cut down on the files of papers.

G'day, Diana You asked ... >Has anyone joined a One Name Study and, if so, please could you >advise as to the pros and cons (before I sign up to something I may regret!) I run the Akehurst One-Name Study and I have registered it with the Guild of One-Name Studies. I commenced the ONS in 1998 to try and break through my Akehurst brick wall - which it eventually did. Since then, the ONS also has helped others interested in the Akehurst/Akhurst/Ackhurst/Ackehurst names with their research and put cousins around the globe in contact with each other. We have just returned home from our biennial Akehurst-er GetTogether, which was held in Canterbury (the one in Kent, not the one down the road from me here in Melbourne!) last month. An ONS is a fun way to extend your genealogy skills and joining the Guild of One-Name Studies is a great way to get your ONS heading in the right direction. I think I spend more time on the ONS than I do with my 'real' genealogy (and probably with my 'real' family!).
