Lesley,   If you go to the Family Search site, use the Search Records tab, and enter Pestifold, it will bring up 11 entries in the 1881 Census (for Pestifield, all in Sussex) and 31 entries from the IGI for Pestifold, Pestifield, etc. - http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Search/frameset_search.asp  (be sure to click on Matches: International Genealogical Index/British Isles - over 25 below the list to see all entries) By far the majority are from Sussex - West Grinstead. Don't disregard entries because of the difference in spelling. Many people were unable to read and write even in the 1800s, so whoever recorded the name wrote down what they thought they heard.   Good luck, Christine Jackson 397   --- On Wed, 8/6/08, lesleywhiting <lesley.whiting3@btinternet.com> wrote: From: lesleywhiting <lesley.whiting3@btinternet.com> Subject: [SFHG] William Pestifold To: "sfhg" <sfhg@rootsweb.com> Received: Wednesday, August 6, 2008, 12:56 PM Hi Can anyone look up please A William Pestifol of Brighton b1837 married a Harriet Jones of Ashington they did not marry till 1859 but did have a daughter Harriett Martha b 1832 and a Walter 1840 Harriet married a Richard Pointing 1854 Brighton William Pestifold Died June 1867 Steyning and Harriet died June 1872 Croydon I cannot find any more Pestifold Can anyone Help Please SFHG 12074 Thanks ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SFHG-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message __________________________________________________________________ Ask a question on any topic and get answers from real people.
