Many thanks for the information Richard, I knew that Stopham and Fittleworth were villages but wasn't sure about Northchapel, Churchwood and Brownshall.

I have a gt gt grandmother Charlotte Puduck. In the 1851 census her birthplace is given as Luper, Petworth but in the 1881 census her birthplace is given as North Chapple Sussex. Today the spelling has changed to Northchapel. It is a village about 5 miles north of Petworth. See the wikepedia entry - the population was given as 785 in 1861, it's a civil parish within Chichester. Stopham is a small village about 2-3 miles west of Pulborough miles. And Fittleworth is a slightly larger one a further mile or so west. Churchwood is marked as an area about 1/4 mile north of Fittleoworth - but it doesn't seem to have a village as such there, no church or pub marked. Northchapel lies about 18 miles northwest of Stopham, Fittleworth and Churchwood.

A rule of thumb seems to be that if you enter a street at the end nearer the town centre, 1, 3, 5, etc., will be on the left. Definitely not a hard and fast rule but it seems right more often than not - and I didn't come across it until I was about 50!

The White Swan was I believe on the last roundabout out of Chichester going north towards Goodwood. It became a private house a long time ago, and there is, I think, a more modern building on the site, just before you get to the Westhampnett Mill, which is now also converted into housing. It may now be part of the hotel/club that was later built there (Jarvis?). Someone else may have a better idea, because I haven't lived in Chichester since 2001. Many of my ancestors came from Westhampnett and I'll see if I have any old photos or maps I can send you.

I am currently researching my Jellett/Treagus relations along with a Canadian lady. We were wondering whether anyone on the list knows or knew of a pub called the White Swan at Westhampnett (nr Chichester). We would like to know if possible whether the building is still there or to know what is now in its place. Freemen Clarence JELLETT was the proprietor in the 1930's. We have a photo of the pub and they were selling Henty's Ales! Thanks. Jeanette Price (Mem No.11641)

Hi Julia, The White Hart is at 55 Lewes High st and my bank is at 60 therefore logically 26 is going to be at the lower end of the high st and I don't remember a pub/bar/hotel being there. I however will probably be in the vicinity on either this Saturday or next if you would like to confirm directly to me what ground information you would like..... Tigger

Ancestry carries some Naturalization records from 1907 - 1924. These records often give a wealth of information. I have a full subscription to Ancestry. If you would like me to look your uncles' details up for you I would be happy to. Just send me the information. They may also have applied after that for a US passport and some of these records are also on Ancestry. The Naturalization records from September 1906 offer the most information. Applicants were required to fill in the following: age, occupation, personal description, date & place of birth, citizenship, present & last foreign addresses, ports of embarkation & entry, name of vessel or other means of conveyance, date of arrival in the US,; also included were the spouse & children's full names with their respective dates and places of birth & residence at the date of the document. There were 2 major processes involved, 1. Declaration of Intent 2. The final paper, the Petition. This was to be followed by a Certificate of Naturalization. Prior to 1906 an alien could be naturalized in any court in the county where he was residing. Many of these records are 'hidden' in piles of other archival info in court houses. Some courts will have indexed records and others do not. The LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City has copies of millions of Naturalization records from all over the US, on microfilms. Copies of the films can be borrowed through Family History Centers. Let me know the details of your Great Uncles and I'll take a look for you.

Les Davey, in his little book entitled The inns of Lewes past and present, writes that his grandfather told him that it used to be said that Lewes could once boast 7 churches, 7 breweries and 70 inns. Yes, the breweries would have supplied the inns and beer-houses in and around Lewes, as well as employing many of the inhabitants.

They had 8 children: Alice King (b 1 Oct 1809; chr 22 Oct 1809 in Hurstpierpoint).

Hi Donna, Just in case you haven't got fixed up already - you could try www.countryholidays.co.uk We have booked a two bedroom cottage with them for a week in May. It is Minden Cottage in Fletching about 5 miles from Ardingly. I hope to research my gt grandfather's family whilst there. He was Frank Stevenson and lived in the cottage next door and his son Jesse Stevenson (my grandfather) was born there in 1882. I am particularly interested that you are going to Ardingly. My mother (Margery Helen Chipps) was born there in 1905 in a cottage opposite the church. Her father, George William Chipps, was the chauffeur at the nearby Big House, Jordans. My mother told me how all the upper class people worshipped at St Peter's whereas ordinary people like themselves went to the chapel. I hope you have an enjoyable time in Ardingly.

I might be able to help re NorthChapel. I have a gt gt grandmother Charlotte Puduck. In the 1851 census her birthplace is given as Luper, Petworth but in the 1881 census her birthplace is given as North Chapple Sussex. Today the spelling has changed to Northchapel. It is a village about 5 miles north of Petworth. See the wikepedia entry - the population was given as 785 in 1861, it's a civil parish within Chichester. Stopham is a small village about 2-3 miles west of Pulborough miles. And Fittleworth is a slightly larger one a further mile or so west. Churchwood is marked as an area about 1/4 mile north of Fittleoworth - but it doesn't seem to have a village as such there, no church or pub marked. Northchapel lies about 18 miles northwest of Stopham, Fittleworth and Churchwood.

Some of my ancestors from the STOPHAM and FITTLEWORTH area are listed as living at 'BROWNSHALL FARM' - CHURCHWOOD- and NORTHCHAPEL. Can anyone tell me if these places still exist and if so, roughly where they are? Tess Spencer 11414
