Happy New Year to all Listers!   I have an ancestor who was described in the 1797 Militia List for Rottingdean as a labourer and 'headborough'. He was aged 37 at the time.   I have looked up definitions on the Internet (old occupations) but there are more than one and I am not quite sure what being a headborough involved by 1797.   Is anyone able to enlighten me on that please?   Christine Jackson SFHG 397 in sunny, snowy, but frigid Ottawa (-16C & -26C with windchill)
