I am pleased to say that I can detail my direct paternal TILLINGHAST line from 1538 to 1997.  I certainly did not do this by myself...much much help from earlier family members and a few recent talented researchers have been by my side as I have uncovered this line. Donna Tillinghast Casey Michigan, USA PS  Some of my recent very early information has come from detailed wills of the mid 1500's.  That is one suggestion I can make to you to find more of your PAGE family line information.

Hello everyone,     I may have raised this matter previously, likely years ago and would appreciate any comments, information or suggestions. My 10th great grandfather Robert Page died in 1568 in Hellingly. It is only a guess but I would think he was perhaps born, around 1510 possibly in Hellingly. My information is from an excellenty written and detailed article which appeared in the SFHG Family Historian Vol. 10 No 6, page 222 titled "The Page Family of Wilmington". I realise that records for this period must be exceedingly scant, but possibly since the article was written a good number of years ago further documents of this period may have come to light. I realise that the chances are exceedingly slim but I would be interested to have any comments on this matter. Incidentaly, back from my maternal grandfather Harry Page ( born Wilmington 22 October 1867) the direct male line is continuous back to Robert Page mentioned above. Do any others of our members have a lineage that long in Sussex! .? With kindest regards to everyone, John Green, 9502, in Ontario, Canada. ps I have traced my father's male line in Sussex back to my 6th Great Grandfather.     ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
