I have Millyard interests in Sussex, from the village of Walberton. My 4xg grandmother, Mary Ann Bacon born c1775 in Cocking West Sussex, first marriage was to a James Millyard. I have been unable to find a baptism or parents for him, there are other Millyard baptisms in Walberton at about the time he was born. They were married on the 28/11/1797 in Walberton. They had two sons Reuben born c1798 in Walberton, I have been unable to find a baptism for him,. his younger brother James was christened in Walberton 27/04/1800. Reuben married Fanny Lintott in Walberton 23/2/1819, they had eight known children James married Ann Carpenter 10/12/1823 also in Walberton they also had eight known children. Ann died c1843 and James married for the second time to a Mary Ayling 28/9/1844 also in Walberton he was 44 she was 29 I hope this may be of some relevance to you.

The only information I have on the Sussex 1821/31 census returns came from Genuki and the Sussex FHG Bookshop site. I had an interest only in Hailsham when I purchased their CD's, but my impression was that although far from complete, Sussex was better served than other areas in which I have an interest when it came to these early census returns, and their availability. The coverage is impressive. Robert SLATER South Australia (12521) now interested in LAMBERT and MILLYARD from Sussex

Please can anyone tell me the address of a website which defines the domestic terms used in Tudor / Stuart inventories? I'm sure I've seen one before, but have failed to "Google" it. Thanks in advance Barbara Sanders (Member 5184)

I have my main line research in FTM; I also have a great of subsidiary research in Excel files many of which are hyperlinked to each other . Is it possible, with any version of FTM, to insert hyperlinks or links of any sort that would link an FTM entry to an Excel file?. I fear that I know the answer but thought I would ask just in case I am wrong. I hope somebody can make my day,. With many thanks. Robin

Many thanks to those who replied to me re the White Swan pub. of which Freeman Clarence JELLETT was the proprietor in 1951 and it was in Madgwick Lane. That building is no longer standing and it seems that another White Swan was built on the same spot - according to an article in the local newspaper 1969. The whole area has been redeveloped over the last few years but apparently according to the net there is still a White Swan pub/bar there which is connected possibly to the Hotel on that site.

Is there an 1831 census for Wadhurst? If so would someone be able to look up for me BALDOCK, Joseph born 1784 at Wadhurst Thankyou very much for your help. From Denise in Australia no. 9928

There is, in the Library of the Sussex Archaeological Society, Barbican House, in Lewes High St, a copy of a survey of the properties in the High Street, over a very long period - in some cases, (if memory serves), from the the 17th Century to the mid-19th, possibly even later. It shows the names of owners, the function(s) of each building, and sometimes the rent. Anyone who intends to visit should try phoning first, as non-members will not be admitted unless there is a Librarian present. The number is 01273 405 738. Non-members are expected to make a small donation. By the way, the pedestrianised part is Cliffe High St, which is across the river from Lewes High St. The bit in between used to be called School Hill, but now seems to be an extension of Lewes High St. Mike Snatt 4711 ----- Original Message ----- From: TiggerRadlett@aol.com To: helen.holmes@jcu.edu.au ; sfhg@rootsweb.com Cc: JULIARUTTER@aol.com Sent: Friday, February 15, 2008 12:27 AM Subject: Re: [SFHG] Lewes I wondered about that, especially as the newer pedestrianised precinct now seems to form of the "High Street".

Dear Margaret, how interesting! yes I would be grateful for a copy. I knew a Mrs Jane Hawkins ran the Swan Inn - I paid a fleeting visit a couple of years ago. I understand that she was quite famous for her hospitality (eight eggs would seem to confirm that!) and also for her support and encouragement of local artists. As you probably know, the dining room is paneled with local landscapes from that period. Sadly when I visited the manager was unavailable and the staff couldn't give me much information about the place. I don't know if the Swan family is 'mine' I have been trying for ages to find a connection. I do have a direct line back to John HAWKINS from Stopham who married a Frances NOEL in 1789. Thereafter the families seemed to have moved between Stopham and Fittleworth marrying locals and living mostly in Fittleworth. I'll keep at it. It will be lovely to get something from the parish magazine that mentions them.

Thank you Mike Snatt - does anyone know whether there was a similar survey done of the properties in Pyecombe and Pyecombe Street ? I still have this photograph of my Gt/Gt/Gt.grandparents outide their cottage, but cannot find which one it is, when I go down there. I have been building a doll's house of their cottage, and would love to have more detail, rather than going on guesswork, - by find the right cottage, if its still there. Diane 10813

Dear Mike & all, The pedestrianised part which includes COSTA coffee and WH Smiths is part of LEWES High Street and not Cliffe High Street. Cliffe High St is due to be pedestrianised but is still open to cars and smaller lorries and vans. For those visiting Lewes and not sure of the parking regulations the safest thing is NOT to park on the bridge or outside ARGOS because the traffic wardens have decided this is where they will issue tickets, even to blue badge, holders despite the notices that don't agree with them Lewes High Street is numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and continues in an allegedly unbroken sequence to the end of the High Street where it turns round and comes back the other way so the White Hart is now 53, the HSBC is 60 (which resolves my puzzle as to why they were so numbered knowing they were on the same side of the road but close together) and COSTA coffee is if I recall the receipt correctly 215 Lewes High Street. Confirmed this today, sorry for the delay in reporting but the coffee was very hot and strong! Mike thank you for the note about the library I'll see when I can get in to confirm which buildings were up when. Who mentioned the beers that were being sold? Cheers Tigger

Just a thought: Lewes High Street had a change of numbering at some point - presumably it was lengthened as the town grew bigger, with extra buildings added on before the old 1 and 2. I don't remember when that happened but you might need to factor that in when working out the numbers.

P.S. I might have mentioned that our library catalogue shows other Wadhurst sources at http://www.sfhg.org.uk/philcat1W.html. Alan 1350 >

Colin Chapman's book 'Pre-1841 Censuses and Population Listings in the British Isles' shows which early Sussex censuses include names, often with ages. With the exception of Tangmere 1831, they are listed on the SFHG publications pages so a quick browse starting at http://www.sfhg.org.uk/pubs-6.html may be of interest. But no Wadhurst. A search for Wadhurst from the publications home page (http://www.sfhg.org.uk/pubs.html) lists the East Sussex 1841 and 1851 censuses. http://www.sfhg.org.uk/A-Z_Places-in-Pubs-Listing-People.pdf shows what else there is for Wadhurst - and everywhere else.

I am not used to having data available from the 18 21 and 1831 Census, so am seeking help in interpreting what I have. In 1821 the household of Samuel LAMBERT (at ESRO ref: PAR 253/A1333) is recorded as having 6 males and 6 females in the one family. In 1831 there was a Widow LAMBERT, a pauper with 3 children John LAMBERT, butcher with 2 Males and 1 Female adult and 0 children I am assuming that each return records all people living in the household, both servants and family members. Is this so? Thanks Robert SLATER (12521)

I'm searching for details of the marriages of two of my father's brothers. Wallace Frederick John Scott born at Fairwarp in 1902 and Joseph Thomas Scott born at Nutley in 1914. Both are buried un the churchyard of St James the Less at Nutley. Can anyone provide details of their respective marriages? Sylvia Edwards (nee Scott)
