Below is information I have rec'd which was found in the Parish Registers for Alfriston, East Sussex c1642 - 1646: Can anyone help me to further locate information about what is presented in the following: Death toll in c1642 - 1646: There were 23 burials (in Alfriston) that year, but in the previous10 yrs the average was 10 deaths per year. After 1642 the register gets neglected - 4 burials recorded in 1643, none (recorded) in '44, 4 deaths in '45, then only 3 burials per year for the next 20 years. There was obviously a lack of enthusiasm among the clergy for record-keeping at the time (Civil War - political climate?). But it might be worth considering that there was an epidemic in the area c1642 - the figure of 23 is high for the village (Alfriston). (checked for any recorded bad weather conditions at the time but nothing showed up.) Where can I check for plagues or other severe illnesses that might have occurred during this period? Thanks again, Donna TILLINGHAST Casey Michigan, USA 9674 If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday. Pearl Buck

Joe, You may wish to start with this site - http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/022-911-e.html - it will take you to the Canadian Genealogical Centre of Library and Archives Canada - the latter being a federal/national institution. (Each province also has its own archives.) Canada was not created until 1867 so, before that, various sections of the country/provinces did their own censuses. See 'What Census are Available' in the lefthand menu. To my knowledge, the Canadian censuses are still not digitized so are not searchable by name - you have to know roughly where they lived to do a search. An organization called Automated Genealogy has a project underway to digitize the censuses - check their progress at http://automatedgenealogy.com/ You also wish to contact the Ontario Archives at http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/ It may not be easy - good luck!

Donna At Worthing we've just had a talk on this. In addition to the two books listed by Mike Waters there are older ones. Edward Hyde, Lord Clarendon : The history of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England begun in the year 1641, vols 1-6. which has been reprinted in edited editions from time to time. Edward Peacock : The Army lists of the roundheads & cavaliers, 1642. London: Chatto & Windus, 1874 This one is in the Society of Genealogists' Library. Both covering officers. Our speaker pointed out that clues may be found in parish registers and other places but it is necessary to be alert to them.

Thanks to Graham and a little more searching on my part, I have confirmed the names of the villages I sought. Buxle = Bexhill Lindfield et Burle = Lindfield.....I think! Someone correct me if I am wrong about this. Thank you very much, Donna If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday. Pearl Buck

Hi Julian, I can't answer your question, but you could ask FIBIS (Families in British India Society).

Several people replied, though I never saw those replies till last night when I fell upon them at soc.genealogy.britain as a google group.
