Alas, Joan, it never occurred to me that it would be difficult to locate the technique on the internet, so I did not take a photo.

Hello Diana, I have not heard of this technique called Sussex Bun quilting but it is probably similar to Suffolk Puffs (try google), which has been brought questionably up to date by a plastic gismo called a 'yo-yo maker'. An antique version must have been both beautiful and interesting. Did you take a picture and was there a catalogue? Regards, Joan in Berkshire

I was at an antiques fair in Edinburgh on Saturday and saw a bed covering described as a 'Sussex bun quilt'. No age was given but it was priced at £260. It comprised hundreds of little round flattened pouches, presumably made by cutting out circles of fabric, gathering them round the edge, ironing the resultant 'bun' to flatten it and then sewing it to the next one. I googled 'Sussex bun quilt' in vain - can anyone enlighten me about this craft?

Hi Frank, Don't give up yet I am still looking for you for proof of Corneilius or the evasive Caroline. Perhaps she had another first name at one time or South could have been a married name before she married Corneilius. However, you have to bear in mind that Caroline and & Corneilius James may never have been officially married, perhaps they just called themselves married for a while. As a domestic servant, if he was with a large household he may have travelled around with them. You do have a good puzzle here as he could have used the names James or even Neil instead of Corneilius. Definitely Caroline is not the one who married Thomas Chappell as I tracked them for a while to check them out. Your puzzle is the sort where Corneilius just pops up on a ship headed for the US one day. The fact that I found someone with the same name in early 1900's may well prove he did come over.

Hi Like Joan, I also know this technique as Suffolk Puff patchwork. I have done some, and it is pretty easy as needlework crafts go, although it does use a considerable amount of fabric. You should be able to get a book describing it in more detail at any public library - look in the craft section. If indeed it does have any Sussex pedigree, I would very interested to know about it, but have never heard this suggested before. Was the antique fair just getting confused between Sussex and Suffolk, do you think?

You could try the Electoral Register, but bear in mind that men over 21 had Universal Suffrage at that date, but women did not. If that fails, you could see if the Rate Books have survived and/or try local directories; if they were rich enough to employ a chauffeur and travel extensively, they may well have placed a subscription..

Hello Diane I'm sorting out my GAWEN file and have just come across a very old email from you. I've seen messages from you on the List in recent times so trust you are still as involved as ever. I've also found your name and address among a list of researchers sent to me by Peter Gawn back in 1997 (over 10 years now!). He mentions that on your line Anne GAWEN of Hastings married John COOKE. I'm wondering, all these years later, how your Anne connects to my Elizabeth, William and Jeffery. Do hope to hear from you. Cheers Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia

Hi SFHG emailers. My GG Grandmother was Elizabeth Crittle, b 1846 in Frant, the eldest daughter of Thomas Crittle, b 1826 in Ightham, Kent, and his wife Philadelphia.

I would like to thank T Ellmer for sending me an image of the 1841 census re the Bear Inn and Brewery in Lewes. Very helpful, I have taken a copy. Diana

Melva, thank you for your` email. Until your` email I had not identified a marriage for this Peter. Your` email threw me briefly as one of my my gg grandfathers was Peter Rapley of Itchingfield but he was not born until 1821. Itchingfield unfortunately is not on the IGI so is not easily searchable. so I have nothing on their children. Peter However is a different story as he was born in Shipley. The youngest of 4 I have him as born Shipley in 1803 but Christened in Itchingfield 15/12/1805. His parents were Thomas Rapley, born c1764 in Shipley, and Sarah Wood who was born c1762 in Rudgwick. they were married 5/10/1790 in Rudgwick. I have no ancestry for Sarah and her birth date is only my approximation. Thomas` parents were Thomas Rapley b c1723 in Shipley died 1786 in Shipley and Sarah Penfold who was born in Shipley in 1736 they married in Shipley 17/2/1764 and had one other child a daughter Mary b1767 in Shipley she married Thomas Bristow b1771 Shipley 15/9/1796 in Shipley. Sarah was Thomas` second wife, his first was Elizabeth Johnson b c1725 in Shipley they married 10/1/1748, and had at least one child, Ann who was born c1749 in Itchingfield, she married John Francis 10/4/1771 in Billingshurst. Thomas` parents were William Raply b 3/6/1694 in West Chiltington he died April 1756 in Shipley and Mary Knight, they married 29/9/1719 in Shipley She was bornc1698 in Shipley Thomas was the 2nd of 4. Williams parents were Thomas Rapley born Rudgwick 1646 b30/8/1646 in Woodmancote and died in West Chiltington in 1715 and Ann Wales, who was born 1651 in Billingshurst b10/8/1651 in Billingshurst she died in Shipley in 1719 they married in Billingshurst 26/5/1681. William was the youngest of 6. Annes Father was Richard Wales I have been unable to identify a marriage for him, there are 3 possibles on the SMI 2 in Hastings and one in Falmer. I have details that go back further, on the Rapleys but I have just discovered an inconsistency which I need to sort out before pasing it on.

There was a tradition (up to the last 3 generations, when names became part of fashion) in my family to name the first son after the father, the first daughter after the mother, and subsequent children after the father's father/mother, then the mother's father/mother. Beyond that, and bearing in mind the confusion caused by [a] child mortality and [b] introduction of second and third Christian names, it seems to have been arbitrary (at least in my family). This has resulted in a large number of Richards, Georges, James and Fredericks. Names in the royal family seem to be used quite a bit, especially in Victorian times. I was the first child in my family to be called Anthony (my mother wanted to Christen me Tony, but was dissuaded by the vicar!).
