Got to be Keymer - which my Sussex great-grandfather pronounced Kymer. It lies between Ditchling and Hassocks, and there is a street called Kymer (sic) Close. Been there. Some years ago I sought help in finding it from the County Council - they weren't much help, perhaps it's in a mini-Bermuda-Triangle. MartinMitchell (10797) Ipswich UK
