Hi, many, many thanks to all who have helped me. Not much luck with Arthur Sidney Smith sadly, hs birth was Mar qtr 1894 at Bridge (Kent) I spoke to his daughter today but she can not remember if he had siblings. She said he was born May 29th 1894 at Chartham (which comes under the Bridge registration district) I am hoping some one can find him in the 1901 census, she said he was known as Sidney! Regards Heather

Hello all, I am returning to the list after a long absence. Recently I obtained the death certificate of my great grandmother, Jane CHANDLER (nee ADAMS). She died of TB, age 25 on 23 July 1860 and she had been living at 2 West Hill Place, Brighton with her husband Charles (and three children). Can anyone suggest where she would have been buried from that location please? Jane was born about 1834 but I have not been able to find her baptism yet. Her mother was Sarah LAKER who was born in Ashurst and her father Thomas ADAMS who was from Alfriston. They were married in Washington, Sussex on 14 February 1834 and moved to Southwick where they raised a large family of whom Jane was the oldest. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I should look for her baptism; I only have access to records which are online? (I could not find her baptism in the Southwick PRs). Also Charles died in 1908 (having married twice more!!) while living in Goldstone Road in Hove. How can I find where he would have been buried? Thank you for any help. I would be pleased to hear from anyone connected to these families. Best wishes, Ted White, Burlington, Ontario, Canada

From The Morning Chronicle ( London, England ), Monday, April 14, 1856; Issue 27863. MARRIED. On the 9th inst., at Norton Canon, Herefordshire, Edward WHATELEY , Esq., surgeon, of Brighton, Sussex, youngest son of the late Thomas WHATELEY , Esq., of Grafton-street, Bond-street, and Isleworth, Middlesex, to Mary Anne Alice, only daughter of the Rev.

Frank Grieve Jackson was born in Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire in June 1873. His parents were Helen Telfer and Robert Jackson (born 1835, son of Robert Jackson and Isabella Crawford)and married in Kilbarchan in 1859. I found Frank in the 1901 census in Glasgow as a draper but in 1911 he was a visitor to the "Shearer" family in Fairlight, Hastings - at age "36" he was said to be a retired draper. Frank, unmarried, died in 1947 in Molash and his obituary notice said that he was a respected Romney Sheep breeder. Frank was the father of my father; my fathers mother was Annie White born 1887 in Hinxhill, Kent. Does anyone have any interests in Frank? Liz

We hope some listers will find this site useful. We found a Christening, in South Africa, for a child "born at sea" in 1838, on the voyage to Australia. http://www.eggsa.org/newspapers/index.php/search-newspapers.html?q Mick & Norma

Thank you to all of you who answered my query regarding the name of the road in Hastings. I now have the answer. It is Plynlimmon Road. I found the image I was querying on, it was on Find My Past. My thanks go to Robyn & Bill, Mary Windsor for the photo, and Simon & Chris Brickell. I certainly know where to post queries in future. I have never had a failure on this list, always a positive reply. Regards Judy Berntsen New Zealand

Hi List, I bought a great postcard at car boot purely for picture and then researched the person who wrote it from the addressee and mailing address. Turned out to be Cynthia Armorel Fyers who married a Sholto Douglas family member. She was aged 12 at the time writing to her brother during WW1.
