Hi all, Apologies for this being a little off-topic but I am stuck! I subscribe to the Surrey list as well as this one but the last few replies that I have sent have been bounced. I was wondering if any Sussex subscribers also use the Surrey list and if anyone has experienced similar problems. The address I reply to is [email protected] and I have also sent email to [email protected] with the same negative result. I cannot find another contact for that list - but I am still receiving details of other people's posts. many thanks, Anne

Thanks for posting this Michael Sarah Anne Provan (nee Hilder) was the sister of Jesse Jewhurst Hilder, the Australian watercolourist. Ian Hilder

I am trying to locate information on John Heward Ship Owner from Littlehampton, early 1800s. I am coming over there in August but have come to a stumbling block as to how to find out anything about his business, ships etc. I do know that he & wife Ann lived at 45 Arundel Road, Littlehampton according to the 1871 census. If someone could point me in the right direction regarding where to find any more details about him and his business I would be extremely grateful. Wendy Hayes Victor Harbor South Australia

Hi Listers, I'm new so thought I'd post my interests. My Great Great Grandparents were: Trayton Smith b. 10 Apr. 1823 Waldron and Mary Piper b.2 Oct. 1827 Hellingly. Mary was a sister to Sarah Ann French the onion pie murderess. Thanks to other people's online trees I can trace the Smiths back to John Smith b.1692 and Rejoice b.1686 or 1696. I love the name Rejoice, does anyone know her last name? Would love to find some cousins. Diane Williams Prince Edward Island, Canada

I have Sussex and many other interests, but this reply - about Cora Num's site - enabled me, on Monday to find information in Australia about 1. a family who emigrated from Surrey/Sussex borders to Queensland. (Caroline Duterrau Robinson and her brother, sister and widowed father) 2. Then, in following another Australian connexion (Van Diemens land) to the same extended family followed back and found the granddaughter of Benjamin Duterrau married in Devon to a barrister and Master of the Supreme Court, Twynihoe William Erle, who, my deduction shows, lived both in London and Cuckfield Sussex. My ancestors travelled immensely from the 16th century onwards. Information is scattered worldwide. All this recent discovery was thanks to the Sussex list - albeit a bit obliquely....

Hi, I am thinking sabout emailing local newspapers in Lewes mainly so that I send my family history research on LEVETT hoping to contact descendants. My problem is I don't know about the local newspapers and how to make contact with them. I hope some local knows ho to do this. My family history website is at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ricksmith61/smith.html Kind regards Rick

I don't wish to put anyone off from enlightening the list with non Sussex info but please be very careful of getting your knuckles rapped. It matters not to some listers that you are living in Australia or Timbucktoo but wherever you are the subject must be Sussex. I experienced the gasp, horror, disgust and listowner disapproval that I dared to ask requesting that perhaps Australian listers could help me but I found my Sussex roots uncle in Perth and I'm going out there this year. His son is one of the most famous actors and household name all round the globe. Personally I welcome all the knowledge wherever it comes from, I've been using a lot of the suggestions already but thought no one in Sussex would be interested. Our ancestors lead us to look for them outside of their birthplace its up to us if we choose to follow them.

Hi Jenny, Cora Num's website is one of the best online for an overview of available Australian records - http://www.coraweb.com.au/local.htm But, as you say, as new resources become available every day, its a good idea to post other sites as we find them.

Hi All, Having posted the links to the New South Wales, Aus, State Records, I have had a number of private responses of thanks. If we all post any new findings of online records or a link to overseas records it will add to the knowledge of the SSX listers and an avenue of research they may never have taken as far as family members relocating to countries outside the UK. How many families "go missing" between census? Australian States have their own records they are not all in a centralised "Australian Archive or Library", unlike the UK each state holds their own BDMs. We do have the National Archives of Australia that has deposits from all states but their main archive is from Federation in 1901. All Service Records for soldiers who signed up for WWI are digitised and freely available to download from the NAA website. The National Library of Australia has beta digitised many newspapers from around Australia from the beginning of colonisation, these contain a wealth of information. More records are becoming available through the different Australian State agencies, I noticed the PRO of Victoria is also adding more and more to their online collection too. Tasmania has digitised many records, especially those dealing with Convicts, Queensland State Library has indexed items in the Australian Joint Copying Project with the UK. I haven't delved into South Australian nor Western Australian records, someone from those areas may wish to post further information. If we don't advertise what is available to overseas researchers it takes more time for them to find information that is freely available. Hoping this is of help to others on the list. Regards, Jenny Lake Macquarie NSW Aus

This does not help you directly but may be of some interest I grew up in Hampshire, a village called Crawley 5 miles West of Winchester and went to the village school from 1947 to 1953. The school did not have a telephone, but the next door neighbours did. They were an older couple (probably then in their 50s or 60s - I speak as a Primary child!) and for urgent business, like when my 5 year old sister disappeared! we used their phone. He was Jack Northeast - a renowned local artist and I still have a book of Winchester views and historic descriptions illustrated by him. My mother was also painted by him, sitting in a chair wearing a long skirt and hair in an unfamiliar style, and I think my sister (same one) has that painting. He was also for a time on the governing body of the school - Crawley County Primary. I am not sure, I believe he may have taught at Winchester School of Art I would estimate his date of birth around 1900. (My sister had run away home and we could not get in touch because the phone number was being changed that very day. She was hiding behind the dropleaf table!) His wife MIGHT also have been called Eileen but I am not certain.

Many thanks Jean. That is really interesting and I will pass on the info to my new cousin. His father was named Jack and I dont know much about him but my father was born 1903 so he could be related. I dont think its the same Jack though. Its quite exciting. The book must be quite rare because I cant find it mentioned on the internet or any mention of a local artist of his name.

Many thanks Robin. I really need to find out who the parents were of Jeremiah, he could have been born around 1717 aged 20 when married but he could have been as young as 15 or 16. I think his baptism was registered at All Saints Chichester where he was married. He died in 1763. I am descended from his son Jeremiah born 1760 and married in Eastergate in 1797. He died in 1840. A lot of the family were from Eastergate around then. I have been in contact with a family in Australia who are part of my Northeast Tree so there must be some down under. The problem with research on the web is that points of the compass superceed any surname LOL. and yes we are a rare breed indeed.LOL. I have 73 on my data base but there must be loads more as I havent researched all the branches.
