From: James Gorringe Date: 03 December 2014 2:31 PM To: volunteers@sfhg.org.uk Subject: Moule Antique Map of Sussex Just thought that given your interest in Sussex history you might wish to know that I have placed for sale on ebay a fine original Thomas Moule map of Sussex (sold in a simple mount). The map was published circa 1840 and has been hand coloured. The reserve price is £18 (plus P&P) and the ebay auction ends on Sunday evening. A link to the ebay item is below. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131364923961?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Kind regards James White Horse Rare Books 71 St Mary’s Road Tonbridge Kent TN9 2LE www.whitehorserarebooks.com

Hi Trevor, The Bishops Transcripts for the Diocese of Chichester can be found at West Sussex Record Office, Chichester. These include those of Ashburnham parish which helps to fill the gap in the parish registers. Michael Burchall Sent from Windows Mail From: Trevor P. via Sent: ‎Tuesday‎, ‎2‎ ‎December‎ ‎2014 ‎18‎:‎43 To: sfhg@rootsweb.com Hi listers, I see from the Frontis List for Ashburnham the Registers between 1711 - 1784 are missing or have not been transcribed. I have a source recorded for several births during this period of Bishops Transcripts but on checking the holding at The Keep can't find them. Can someone point me in the right direction please.

Hi, thanks to those who have replied so far. I don't think Morris was a member of the group in recent years. His address was/is 11 Oak Avenue, Chichester, and he is not in the Phone Book. I've even checked Zoopla to see if number 11 has been sold - no. If anyone has personal information I would be grateful, as his researches would have been invaluable to the Society. My last two Christmas cards have not been returned to me even though I put my address. Any thoughts anyone? Thanks, Georgina -- Georgina Colwell www.musicair.co.uk

Morris Colwell has done a great deal of work on the Colwell tree and its branches, and I always send him a Christmas card every year. But for the last two years I haven't had a reply. Does anyone know what has happened to him? He was an elderly gentleman so I am fearing the worst. He may not have been a SFHG member, but he has appeared in the magazine and his research of Sussex is phenomenal. His address is in Chichester. Can anyone help? Thanks, Georgina 10821 -- Georgina Colwell www.musicair.co.uk

Hello, listees, My RANGER line starts in Northiam in 1610 with my direct ancestor, Thomas moving to Cranbrook in 1759. From my research, all the RANGER`s (and there are a lot of them) in both Northiam and Cranbrook are "mine". I have just been given brief details of a George RANGER who owned houses, in particular Clench Green in Northiam. The record says he was buried at Northiam 22 February 1850 aged 58. I am unable to find any record of his birth or marriage despite checking as many sites as possible. Can any one help ?

According to some Public Member Trees on Ancestry, the marriage took place on 06 Nov 1893 in Marylebone Register Office in London. If that is indeed the case, you won't find any extra details on Ancestry or other web sites such as FamilySearch. Of course, you could contact the people who own the family trees and ask them if they have any further information and/or where they obtained the information originally. Failing that, you would need to purchase a certificate to obtain further details. Best wishes, Marion Woolgar Bognor Regis, West Sussex SFHG Member No: 3323

Further to my posting on my Dolton connection, I have now established that EDWARD GEORGE DOLTON married LOTTIE WYSNER in the September quarter of 1900 in Marylebone district. The 1901 and 1911 census returns show that she was born in Holborn, but I could not find a birth for Lottie Wysner. The surname is very unusual (presumably eastern European), so I wondered if she was a widow when she married. This turns out to be the case - Vacslav Vincent Wysner married Lottie Pegler in 1893, and Vacslav died in 1899 in Steyning district. Unfortunately Vacslav's short married life with Lottie fell between the census returns, and short of paying for his marriage certificate, I cannot find any more about him - there is nothing else on Ancestry. I wonder if anyone can suggest how I might find when and why he came to England? Thanks Neal 9743

I have been through my research notebooks and the only MI's that I have found for East Wittering are in the notebooks of E. H. W. Dunkin. The original Dunkin notebooks are in the care of the Sussex Archaeological Society's Library at Lewes, but some have been filmed and there is a copy of the films at WSRO. For East Wittering, you need Notebook 111 and it is on WSRO film MF 508. However, I must warn you that genealogists like Mr. Dunkin are more interested in the great and the good whose memorials are inside the parish church than in the majority of the local population who are buried in the churchyard outside.

Just while we are on mis-spellings or mis-transcriptions of names. My mother's maiden was Stenning. I have found them in censuses under Henning, Kenning, Fleming, Stemming, Steaming, Steving, Heying, Chewning, Stennmny, Sterming, in addition to the 'normal' variations of Stenning, Stening, Steyning and Steigning. I really need to engage lateral thinking when searching for them in the data-bases.

Hi, could someone find Ernest William Adfield in the 1871 census please? And Roland William James Adfield in the 1901 census born 1900 both born Sussex Regards Heather Brooks

with regard to the “deceased” written on the marriage certificate, that happened to me for a 1912 wedding, and I did finally find the “deceased” person’s death entry for 1923. He had been in a lunatic asylum for more than 30 years and I just think that the bride was too ashamed to admit the fact, so don’t give up yet. Linda member 12378
