As part of my One name Study into the Tribe surname, I came across a number of Tribe families living in the Barracks at Wisborough Green. If anybody does know anything about the "barracks", I would be interested, too. Regards from East Sussex. Jeff Tribe ONS SFHG Ps - I might even nip over there myself on the way to Thakeham.

Unfortunately time and the weather prevented another trip into West Sx to check it out for myself. So, from my computer here in Ottawa, yesterday I used Google's Streetview to tour along the Petworth Road in the vicinity (can't remember now how I got there!). Unfortunately the trees along the road obscure a certain amount but there are tantalizing views of a 2-storey building set back from the road which may or may not be the actual block of cottages. It looks relatively modern but could, of course, have been remodelled & refaced over the years. The 1841 Census for Wisborough Green has my ancestor & his family living with 4 other families at 'Barracks' (the handwritten form may say 'Barrecks') in Wisborough Green, so I am assuming that this was the name of the building identified in the 1842 tithe apportionment as the 4 cottages where my ancestor is named as 'co-occupier' (the other co-occupiers are not named). (I have not been successful doing an address search for 'Barracks' in Wisborough Green in subsequent censuses - just could not get FindMyPast or FamilySearch to give me the info, if indeed, Barracks was listed a such in later censuses.) Does anyone know if there is (or was) a building along the Petworth Road in Wisborough Green called Barracks (or Barrecks)? If so, does anyone know its history? - and could anyone take a photo for me? (The building is just east of a side road called The Luth.) Thank you in advance for any info you might have on this. Regards from a wet & windy Ottawa Christine Jackson SFHG 397 P.S. I note from the Internet that there is an informal Wisborough Green History Group, and a phone number is offered as a contact, so I will follow up with the chairman if SFHG members are not able to help on this. ------------------------------- 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
