Hello Listers I've been think a little lately of when photos of my 2 x ggs from Hastings in Sussex were taken. I googles for "Dating Photos" and came up with lots of sites telling me what sort of photo I should provide for online dating! Which wasn't what I had in mind at all! I understand that photography got going only in the mid-late 1830s (hope that's right). Ggf died in May 1850, so the photo was likely taken in the 1840s which is quite early. Ggm died in 1862. Hers is almost full length although she's seated, so it gives a reasonable view of her clothing, complete with bonnet; his unfortunately is not much more than head and shoulders, but he is wearing a hat. Can someone point me to a site please (so I get the right thing!) to check these photos out please? Or would someone be happy to take a look at them - I can email them without difficulty. Help appreciated. Many thanks. Cheers Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia

I believe she married a William GOBLE (yes, same surname), but not entirely sure. I have a marriage of 19th September 1836 in Funtington. What I would like to know is - Is William's name really GOBLE and if so who are his parents. If not, what was Williams surname. Is this the correct date of the marriage for Sarah & William. I have Sarah's parents as James & Sarah Goble of Funtington. Hoping someone can help. Thank you. Anne

You didn't specify and particular baptisms or possible dates, so I checked the Slaugham Baptism Register (WSRO ref PAR 483/1/2/1) for the period 1831 to 1841, but found no MARTIN entries at all. Best wishes, Marion Woolgar Bognor Regis, West Sussex -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Phil White Sent: 22 March 2011 21:32 To: Sussex List Subject: [SXP] MARTIN in Slaugham High Folks, I posted a question about the surname of MARTIN a few days ago and thought I should do so again. I did have one response that did not help, probably because my first post wasnt perfectly clear What I need is access to the Slaugham PRs to get actual baptismal dates for the children of John and Sarah Martin who claimed their children were born in Slaugham, and were so listed in the 1841 Census. I hope someone has access to these PRS. Tried Paris Chest but they do not have a CD Phil White

Also, I am wondering how and where I would be able to get a copy of his will. Thank you for your time. Any information or direction would be very much appreciated. Vern, Ontario, Canada

Hi Neil Unfortunately not. Those who have a sub are forbidden to do look-ups and some who have done so previously have had their subs cancelled. The cost of credits is quite reasonable in my opinion.

Gladys Florence ELBOURNE is down on the 1911 Census as living in Brighton Sussex aged 17. Her parents Jane and Henry ELBOURNE are not on the census although they were both alive at the time. As I am not able to see the address of Gladys Florence ELBOURNE would it be possiblefor someone who may have access tocensus records tell me if she was living in a boarding school or was a servant. Many thanks Neil

Hello, I have been hunting for my LEANEY ancestors for many years now without success. Today I found a document that indicated that my Thomas LEANEY may have actually been born as a PRIGETT in about 1808 (could be as late as 1813). The 1851 census gives his his place of birth as Ditchling.   Does anyone by chance have access to the Ditchling PRs who wouldn't mind doing a look up for me. Thanks heaps Josie Queensland Australia LEANEY, TESTER in Ditchling PRESS in Framfield

Hi once again, Im looking for a marriage between Stephen TREAGUS/TREAGUST b.about 1828 and a Charlotte GOBLE b.1834, in Westbourne. There is a possibility on the FreeBMD in the December Qtr.1855 Westbourne. Is there anyone who has access to a look up of the marriage so I can see who the fathers were as well as the witnesses. This will help me decide whether or not I have the right couple. Any find greatly appreciated. Thank you Anne

Hi Helen It's not the norm here in the UK for death notices unlike in Aus and the USA. Where exactly did she die? That might help narrow down a local newspaper.

Hello all, Im looking for marriage details of a Sarah GOBLE b.1809 Funtington. I believe she married a William GOBLE (yes, same surname), but not entirely sure. I have a marriage of 19th September 1836 in Funtington. What I would like to know is - Is William’s name really GOBLE and if so who are his parents. If not, what was Williams surname. Is this the correct date of the marriage for Sarah & William. I have Sarah’s parents as James & Sarah Goble of Funtington. Hoping someone can help. Thank you. Anne

Hello Anne I may be able to help a little. I've looked at transcripts of the Funtington parish registers and also at the original 1813-37 marriage registers on microfiche. William GOBLE did indeed marry Sarah GOBLE in Funtington on 19 Sep 1836. The register states that he was a widower and she was a spinster, that they were both of the parish of Funtington and that they were married after banns. Sarah signed the register whereas William made his mark. The witnesses were Thomas Goble and Eliza Goble. Looking at the transcripts of the baptism registers, a Sarah GOBLE was baptised on 20 Jan 1809 to parents James and Sarah. This couple had various other children baptised in Funtington between 1795 and 1816, including a Thomas and an Eliza, so these may have been the witnesses to William and Sarah's marriage. James GOBLE was a labourer. I can't see the marriage of James and Sarah GOBLE, nor that of William GOBLE to his first wife, so I presume these took place in other parishes. Hope this helps.
