I am seeking help to try and link two family trees. I have recently bought the death certificate for RICHARD FOSTER SISLEY. He died in Robertsbridge on 30th November 1837 aged 73 (born circa 1764). He was a miller. Present at his death was ELIZABETH MITCHELL, his daughter shown to be living in Forest Row, Sussex. ELIZABETH MITCHELL was living in Tomsett Bank, Forest Row in the 1841 Census with husband JAMES and children JOHN (aged 13) and PHILADELPHIA (aged 7 - born in East Grinstead). I have no marriage details for RICHARD FOSTER SISLEY born c 1764 (any information would be very gratefully received). He was the son of SHARRINGTON SISLEY and MARGARET FOSTER who married in West Peckham, Kent on 24th May 1748. I do have a marriage between a RICHARD FOSTER SISLEY (born 1796) and ELENOR REED at Brookland, Romney Marsh on 10th February 1822. This RICHARD was the son of SHARRINGTON SISLEY and MARY BAKER. This RICHARD died on 20th January 1839 in Hastings. I am trying to find a link between RICHARD FOSTER SISLEY (born 1764) and the SISLEY family living in Brambletye Mill, Forest Row in the 1841 Census. The head of this family was also a RICHARD born circa 1793 in Sussex. He was married to DEBORAH SHORTER in 1818 In Chipstead, Surrey. It would appear that the all the children (five in total) were baptised in 1827 in Chipstead, Surrey. They moved into Brambletye Mill in 1832 and later were milling in Godalming, Surrey. RICHARD died in Godalming in 1846. Milling is one obvious link. I would be grateful for any help. John Sisley (member 11601)

Hi John, If you Google Brambletye + Sisley + Sussex you will get 4 hits. One of these is a Google Book East Sussex 1837 List of registered electors and voters. Richard Sisley is shown as land and mill as occupier, Brambletye farm and mill. Hopefully that is the link you were looking for.
