Hi Everyone, A little while ago I believe there was a member asking about the occupation of a butcher. I must have got rid of the e-mail but if that person likes to contact me I found an article in an old family history magazine on the butcher trade with some good links to relevant sites. I would be happy to scan it in if it would be of help. Debbie

Hello Diane I'm a new member of SFHG and enjoying travelling to Sussex via the Web. I am looking for the family of my GGGrandfather John James Jacques/Jaques. He was transported to Tasmania in 1835 and arrived '36, aged 24. His Court Records show that he came from the Village of 'Durkin' or 'Dirkin'. His work is given as Paper Maker. Finding this village or similar in Sussex, would be very good start. Judy Jacques member 12602

In the 1861 and 1871 census (or is it censuses?) my BOXALL ancestors were living at Kipson Bank, Hunston. The OS explorer map shows Kipson House and Kipson Bank Farm. Can anyone tell me more about the area. Would there have been tied cottages? Alan 10469

Alan. There are several Mary Dyers in Scotland censuses. If you have her marriage certificate does it show jer fathers name? That might help to find her. I am using Ancestry Library edition. John Cain 10370

I have noticed that in some parishes in Hampshire and IOW that it seems to have been customary, at least in the 18th and early 19th centuries, to have a certain number of places in church set aside for the inhabitants and workers of the old farms of a district. If the farm was sold, the right went to the new owner. I found vestry records of a church refurbishment where there was a plan for seating, showing the names of properties with pew allocations. In a will a testator gave 'one sitting for herself in church' to his wife when the farm was to be passed on to his son. Has anyone come across similar rights in West Sussex? Margaret Major #5836

Hi, Do you have an entry for South Street, now incorporated into South Chailey? Many thanks Tigger

hello Margaret you will find a plan of Henfield seating in the church, there is no date but from the people on it would think about 1830. Christine

Hi Diane, I am very interested to see if there is any reference to Dallingridge. I am researching my grandmother's Langridge family and we have concrete evidence of our line back to around 1500 in the East Grinstead area. Prior to this the family is shown in Manor records with various spellings such as Langgeriche, da Langeregge, de Longeregge and da Lyngrigge. Sir Edward Da Lyngrudge built Bodiam Castle in 1385 and they all hail from around the same area back in the early 1300s. We do not have a proven connection to Sir Edward's line however nearly 60 years ago before she died my gm told me many stories about that well known family as part of her family family history. Most of these have since been verified by research into the Da L family and I am wondering if your book makes any connection in that direction.

>Tigger, Many thanks for your comments on North street, Lewes. I am far from familiar with Lewes having only been in the town for a few days some years ago and most of what I do know comes from reading books and searching maps. I suspect that this part of the town was called St John's after the local church of St John sub-castro which I understand was built around 1861 on the site of an earlier church, possibly also called St John. If the designation of St John for this part of Lewes still applies I do not know. An old map of the area (1878) is rather hard to follow in its detail but does indicate that then the north end of North Street was on the edge of the town so i am assuming that someone living there could have been employed either in the town or on one of the surrounding farms.

Would someone with access to Scottish records be kind enough to look for any information about Mary Ann Dyer. She was born in Glasgow in 1849 and married my g/grandfather, James Boxall, in 1898 in Sussex. There is a possible record of her in 1881 at Clifton College, Gloucester. Thanks, Alan 10469

I am seeking help to try and link two family trees. I have recently bought the death certificate for RICHARD FOSTER SISLEY. He died in Robertsbridge on 30th November 1837 aged 73 (born circa 1764). He was a miller. Present at his death was ELIZABETH MITCHELL, his daughter shown to be living in Forest Row, Sussex. ELIZABETH MITCHELL was living in Tomsett Bank, Forest Row in the 1841 Census with husband JAMES and children JOHN (aged 13) and PHILADELPHIA (aged 7 - born in East Grinstead). I have no marriage details for RICHARD FOSTER SISLEY born c 1764 (any information would be very gratefully received). He was the son of SHARRINGTON SISLEY and MARGARET FOSTER who married in West Peckham, Kent on 24th May 1748. I do have a marriage between a RICHARD FOSTER SISLEY (born 1796) and ELENOR REED at Brookland, Romney Marsh on 10th February 1822. This RICHARD was the son of SHARRINGTON SISLEY and MARY BAKER. This RICHARD died on 20th January 1839 in Hastings. I am trying to find a link between RICHARD FOSTER SISLEY (born 1764) and the SISLEY family living in Brambletye Mill, Forest Row in the 1841 Census. The head of this family was also a RICHARD born circa 1793 in Sussex. He was married to DEBORAH SHORTER in 1818 In Chipstead, Surrey. It would appear that the all the children (five in total) were baptised in 1827 in Chipstead, Surrey. They moved into Brambletye Mill in 1832 and later were milling in Godalming, Surrey. RICHARD died in Godalming in 1846. Milling is one obvious link. I would be grateful for any help. John Sisley (member 11601)

Hi John, If you Google Brambletye + Sisley + Sussex you will get 4 hits. One of these is a Google Book East Sussex 1837 List of registered electors and voters. Richard Sisley is shown as land and mill as occupier, Brambletye farm and mill. Hopefully that is the link you were looking for.
