Hello! I am trying to find out what became of the following family who disappeared after 1851. I have been unable to find any of them in any subsequent Census, nor have I found them in Free BMD in Sussex. I have checked the 1880 US and 1880 Canadian Census on Familysearch but no joy there either. Perhaps they emigrated elsewhere? 1851 Census HO 107/1638 pg 6 At Magham Down, Hailsham, Sussex Thomas HUMPHREYS, Head, 53, Smith, b Gravesend (Kent) Mary HUMPHREYS, wife, 53, b Wartling (nee HONEYSETT or BEADLE) Thomas HUMPHREYS, son, 16, Smith, b Hailsham Emma HUMPHREYS, daughter, 1(?8), b Hailsham George HUMPHREYS, son, 14, Ag Lab, b Hailsham Edwin HUMPHREYS, son, 12, Smith, b Hailsham pg 7 Ellen HUMPHREYS, daughter, 10, Scholar, b Hailsham Martha HUNNISETT, wife's daughter, Un, (?2)8, b Herstmonceux Lucy HUNNISETT, Granddaughter, 4, b Hailsham Martha HUNNISETT married James BONIFACE in Hailsham in 1855.

Dear Denise, I have just been having a look for Lousa's marriage, but can't pick anything up post 1881 census that fits all the details. Have you any other information, eg any idea of when she may have married, where, married surname, ... ? I found a few possible people by putting in simply Louisa with no surname, and born 1857 in Rotherfield, but the three who came up as possibles in the 1891 census all seem to be wrong, eg already married in 1881. Do you have anything else on Louisa? Regards, Eleanor.

Thankyou very much to Christine, Edward, John and Hilary for their help with William King & George King query at Hove or Hooe. May I ask for help again. LOUISA KING, the daughter of William King and Grace nee Bateup was born in 1857 at Rotherfield. Would someone be able to help me with a marriage for Louisa. She is on the 1881 census with her parents at their shop and unmarried. Any help with this would be appreciated very much. Thankyou from Denise in Australia, no 9928

Sorry to tell any interested parties that Gladys passed over on the 4th and will be cremated at Worth (11:30) on Wed 13th. Tigger

Hi Everyone: Like Corinne, I've been reading all your comments about Ancestry with interest. Perhaps forwarding this collection of astute observations to the company would do some good. It can't be good business practice to ignore such a groundswell of discontent, particularly considering the bad publicity is generates on such a highly-regarded list as ours. When even avid Ancestry supporters are calling for change, making improvements would be what us North Americans call a "no brainer". As for the expense of the service, it rankles us all, especially when you add exchange rates to the bill. Hard to believe we have to pay so dearly for access to what are essentially public records. I know what you think of Ancestry. How do listers rate other data providers out there?

I waste hours every week correcting research that people have got from the internet. The internet has a useful purpose for those who are too far from access to original sources, or housebound etc. etc.. But it has spawned a generation of researchers who rely on it and who do not check original sources for themselves. I do have Ancestry.co.uk membership because I forgot to cancel it in time and do sometimes use it to help me when looking for info for others, but it has not helped my own research, which was done before "Ancestry" was available - and on checking, I found that had I had to rely on "Ancestry" I would not have got to where I have because much of what is there is certainly not correct. And from my experience, it is not easy to get them to make corrections. For example, their transcription of the 1841 Census for the Parish of St. Buryan in Cornwall is particularly poor and most of the images that can be viewed are unreadabIe - which they blame on the poor quality of the 1841 Census. I have excellent quality images supplied by Rod Neep of Archive CD Books before he retired and have transcribed the entire Parish which I offered them, but didn't even get a reply. "Ancestry" is a useful (albeit expensive) tool when used to assist research, unfortunately it is often used a the "be all and end all" - and the way that it is marketed does encourage that perception. As Jim say, some of us managed without the "indexes". But we had to spend time on it and put effort into it.

Thank goodness for a final sensible comment. Whatever its faults, just think what it would be like without this increasingly valuable search site. I remember in the 1960s hand searching material which often wasted hours finding nothing. Compared to those days, we are now spoilt for choice! Search engines like Ancestry have extended the scope of our studies to a degree never previously though of and the on-line information that comes into our homes - sometimes free and at other times by subscription - is mind boggling. We are no longer bound by office hours, trains and bus time tables and expensive journeys often with meagre results. All data-bases are suspect and need checking - we learned that early when the Computer File Index of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints first became available - but they guide us to information which we might otherwise never find.> From: ifm@whidbey.net> To: SFHG-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sat, 9 Aug 2008 12:07:38 -0700> Subject: [SFHG] A last comment> > Actually I do think the Ancestry site has loads to offer which is why I> subscribe to it.
