Looking for the burial site of Albert Thomas Braden who died 18 April 1922 with last known address 55 Vale Road, Portslade. His wife was Frances (Patching) Braden who died 27 Feb 1926 (17 Mortimer Row, Hove) I’ve reached ‘brick walls’ after many searches with SFHS, Parishes, Archives….Thanks for any suggestions. DeAnn McAllan

Hello DeAnn, My Uncle & Aunt from Lancing were both cremated at 'The downs Crematorium' . After emailing several local councils & Cemeteries I was led to the Downs site. People were so very helpful. Also you might try newspapers of the time for a funeral notice & Funeral directors if the above fail. Do you know where his wife was buried / cremated? adur-worthing.gov.uk woodvale@brighton-hove.gov.uk thedowns.crematorium@dignityuk.co.uk brighton-hove.gov.uk good hunting, Wendy M. 15695 On Friday, 24 October 2014, 12:40, DeAnn McAllan via <sfhg@rootsweb.com> wrote: Looking for the burial site of Albert Thomas Braden who died 18 April 1922 with last known address 55 Vale Road, Portslade.

I am looking for an on-line book or database in which I might search for the name of TYDINGEHURST of Ardingly or any place in the Hundred of Streat. I have searched the usual places but do not see a span of years which includes 1340 or Ardingly or Hundred of Streat. I have found a statement ..... "in 1340, a John de Tydingehurst appears as a juror in the Nonarum Inquisition for the parish of Ardingly, in the Hundred of Streat, which assessed agricultural taxes for counties in southeastern England." Ref is only "Nonarum Inquisitions of Sussex". No other way information for finding the exact information. I have tried British History Online but don't seem to find it. I feel it should appear there. Anyone have any suggestions.

Great. That clears it up. William must have moved to Bolney for the wedding. Thanks so much to you both.

I cannot use my copy of the SMI CD on my Mac so I am wondering if someone can check two possible marriages for me and provide as much info as possible. 1. William Stenning and Jane Stedman marrying at Twineham on 22 Jan 1768 2. William Stenning and Jane Stedman marrying at Bolney on 1 Feb 1769. The latter record (Bolney) was sighted by a cousin of mine in Sussex (a very reliable researcher) and to date I have taken that as the correct record for our ancestors' marriage. So I was surprised to see the other one listed on the LDS website. Was this the same couple marrying twice? Or two separate couples with the same names marrying just a year apart? Or is there an error in the LDS records? I appreciate any help here. Cordelia Hull 14526

Sorry! 1861 census not 1971. Heather Brooks

I think that one of your dates may be incorrect. If she died in 1870, she won't be found on the 1871 census. Best wishes, Marion Woolgar Bognor Regis, West Sussex SFHG Member No: 3323

Hi, hoping someone can find Sarah Rogers for me in the 1871 census as I think she connects with the Rogers/Rodgers who lived at West Itchenor. She was buried at West Itchenor 19/2/1870 aged 76 years old. Many thanks Heather Brooks

I visited WSRO yesterday and I checked the baptism register for Bognor, St. John and I did not find the baptism that you are seeking. I had some unexpected spare time towards the end of my day and so I decided to check the South Bersted register as well - and I found this entry: South Bersted Baptism Register WSRO ref: PAR 19/1/2/6 1927 06 Nov SIMMONS Cicely, daur of Richard Frederick & Frances Mary of London Road, Gardener, born on 23 ix 27. South Bersted is the ancient parish for the area that includes the modern parish of Bognor Regis. Best wishes, Marion Woolgar Bognor Regis, West Sussex SFHG Member No: 3323

Hello listers out there, greetings from Texas! I enjoy reading all the questions of fellow researchers, and everything they learn. Here is my question: My Thorpe ancestors lived in Rye for most of the 1800's. Thomas Thorpe, then his son Thomas William Thorpe and then grandson George, were linen drapers on High street from at least 1823 (Pigot's Directory) to April of 1871, when the census was taken. In July of 1872, the family sailed to America. How can I find out when the Thorpe Drapers was sold, or possibly why or how? Thanks for any help or ideas. Phyllis Nordstrom San Antonio, Texas

Thanks Wendy. I finally found the baptism of CHARLES JAMES HEMBROKE in Ancestry by just searching for Charles James as first names and no surname, in Guildford in 1907 , but its transcribed as Name: Charles Janes Hamhoke Father: Daniel James Hamhoke Mother Annie Elizabeth Hamhoke Birth: 19 Jun 1907 Baptism: 1 Sep 1907 - Stoke Next Guildford, St John the Evangelist So I'm a bit closer!

Dear Listers, I would appreciate advice on how I might track down a marriage. >From the 1911 census, it appears that Anne Elizabeth Winter Lipscombe (born Horsham 1884) had been married for 2 years and had a son Charles aged 3 (her only child). The transcription on Ancestry is a bit garbled, but further research confirms that her married name was HEMBROKE. On census night, Anne Hembroke was staying with her parents Charles and Eliza Lipscombe in Guildford, but her husband is not with her. Her son’s birth was registered in Guildford in September quarter of 1907 as CHARLES JAMES HEMBROKE. As she had lived in Guildford for some time, I assumed that her marriage would have been registered in Surrey in 1909 +/- quite a margin, but I could not find anything – in fact an expanded search of all the LIPSCOMBE and LIPSCOMB marriages anywhere in England and Wales in that period failed to turn up anything. I also searched for Hembroke marriages – its not a common name, so there are not many – again nothing. The only spelling variation that turned up more marriages was Hambrook, but none of them looked hopeful. The Lipscombes came from a humble background, so I think its unlikely that she took off to somewhere exotic to get married. Any suggestions? Thanks Neal 9743

Neal I couldn't find a marriage & the only baptisms for the said child isfrom Ancestry spelled Hambroke -Mother Ann, no date. I did see in London marriages 1906 Annie Elizabeth Lipscombe marriage to an Albert Valentine FULLER , but her Father listed as John Lipscombe- gardener. at Finsbury Park so probably not connected. 1911 has her name as HeNbroke married 2 yrs, Charles Lipscombe a gardener. Not much further forward, alas.

It does seem that the two brothers were born less than a year apart. I know the birth date of the younger brother - 23rd February 1908, and on census night 2nd April 1911 he would have been 3 years old, as his father says.

For a short time each year, my niece and nephew (siblings) are the same age, so yes, entirely possible they would have been born less than twelve months apart. Janet -----Original Message----- From: Neal Ward via Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2014 12:15 PM To: Subject: [SFHG] Close births Dear Listers, My grandfather's sister, ROSINA LIPSCOMBE married ALBERT ERNEST KNIGHT in 1906 - she was his second wife, and they lived in Horsham. They had 2 sons, LEONARD and CECIL KNIGHT, who were stated to both be 3 years old in the 1911 census. I assumed they were twins, but I could not find a LEONARD and CECIL KNIGHT both registered in Horsham in the same quarter of 1908 or 1907. Further searches indicate that a LEONARD ALFRED KNIGHT was buried at Roffey on 27th May 1957, aged 50. The only LEONARD ALFRED KNIGHT birth that would be consistent with this info was registered at Horsham in the June quarter of 1907. His mothers maiden name was Lipscombe. I also believe that the death of CECIL ERNEST KNIGHT was registered ain Horsham in the June quarter of 1976, when his age was given as 68, with a date of birth of 23rd Feb 1908. CECIL ERNEST KNIGHT's birth was registered in Horsham in the March quarter of 1908. Again his mother's maiden name was Lipscombe. So, my question is, if these births are correct (and the full names very strongly suggest that they are), is it possible that they were born so close together - possibly less than 12 months apart?

Dear Listers, My grandfather's sister, ROSINA LIPSCOMBE married ALBERT ERNEST KNIGHT in 1906 - she was his second wife, and they lived in Horsham.

I am not sure if anyone can help me but I am after a baptism for a 'cousin' born in Bognor in 1927 Her name is Cecily Simmons. Parents names were Richard Frederick Simmons and Frances [nee Yeates] I have found her birth on GRO for Dec quarter of 1927. I have found a possible death in Maidstone, Kent for her which give a date of birth of 22 September 1927 So if anyone is going to Chichester Record off ice sometime, please could they try and help me please Many thanks Kay
