Does anyone know the exact location of Mr Garlick's coalyard at Hove Station in 1854 ? My Gt.Gt.Grandfather, Stephen Godley, yard foreman at the coalyard , fell to his death from the top of an embankment onto the railway line, late at night on 15th October 1854. He was returning from his coal deliveries, taking a short cut to the cottage where he lived with his family at the coalyard. It had been raining, and the grass would have been very wet. The coalyard was closed at 7 pm. each evening, and he always went home that way. The Inquest Report states that he was in the habit of making a short cut, when he went to Brighton, by climbing up the embankment on the south side of the line, walking along the embankment to the bridge below the station and then getting over the parapet of the bridge. He returned the same way. He was a very sober, steady man, and according to the evidence of Mr Egan, Station Clerk, was never seen with evidence of liquor on him. So it would seem from this that he delivered the coal from a horse and cart, and stabled these in another place, visited his wife's brother and sister after work, drinking ale at the house of the latter, and then went home. The embankment was on the south side of the line, and from the marks on the ground, it was presumed he slipped as he was getting over the parapet of the bridge, the grass was wet. Why did he fall from the top of the embankment onto the north side, and onto the railway line ? His wife waited up all night, then went out to look for him, walking along the top of the embankment towards the bridge, (the grass would still have been wet) and found him dead on the railway line at 6.20 a.m. The Inquest Jury returned an open verdict of ' Found dead' and expressed a desire that it should be suggested to Mr.Garlick to make arrangements with the Company to allow some more convenient access. Of course, the Railway Co. said he should not have been trespassing on the Company's ground, but I would very much like to visit Hove Station next month, and find the place where this tragedy happened.

Does anyone have any details about Eliza Mitchell, born in Sussex around 1813. I have no further details except that she married Donald McDonald pre 1835 - and had two children, Eliza Katherine (my Gt Gt Grandmother) and Matilda Rebecca who was born in 1839. When Daniel and Eliza married they were living in the Holborn area of London. Any information greatly appreciated Kind regards

Carole, Thank you for your reply. The evidence I have for John Miles' date of birth is, I grant, firstly only IGI but there is also the dating of later generations and other evidence. For instance, I know that he married Elizabeth Patching in August 1792 and that his daughter Anne married my GGgrandfather in 1829, so I think 1767 is a fair guess. I think it is highly probable that they took twenty years to make up their minds about marriage! Have you any other details about John Harman (the Elder)? At present he is the top of this branch of my tree; I know nothing of his ancestors or indeed of other siblings of John Miles.

Mel, Elizabeth Rhoda Nicholls was born in Brighton District 4Q1872 Births Dec 1872 Brighton 2b183. She married first in Brighton and then the family moved to Leeds. The 1881 census shows in Deptford a large family of Nicholls including Rhoda D born Sedlescombe, aged 8, parents James Geo. and Charlotte. No Rose. 1901 has in Lewisham Rhoda L Nicolls, aged 28, born Sedlescombe, mother Charlotte, with sister Elizabeth J, born 1868, Robertsbridge. Both daughters are dressmakers. This Rhoda's birth was registered as Rhoda Lillie Nicolls, no 'h' 4Q1872 Battle 2b 48. Don't know if any of these are yours. According to the useful desktop aid www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/places/regindex1-3.pdf Sedlescombe was in the Battle District so no obvious connection with Elizabeth Rhoda.
