Hi List. I have SUSANNAH WEAVER marrying WILLIAM ROSER on 25 November 1816 in Uckfield. Is anyone researching these surnames, please? I would like to know who Susannah's parents were and if she had any siblings. Any help would be great. Thanks Rona. --------------------------------- Sent from Yahoo! Mail.

Thanks for sharing that. Very interesting reading! If only I could make my git of a 17 year old son understand how hard life can be and how bl**dy lucky he has been. But I have a feeling that the only response would be "waddever!" or something similar.

East Grinstead Property: "Farrants" @ Saint Hill? My ggggg-grandfather, William Streater (ca. 1713-1787), occupied Dunnings Farm, East Grinstead from 1737 until his death. On 27 October 1777, he testified that had also been renting 18 acres of land called "Farrants" in East Grinstead from Lady Compton for 6 years. Dunnings Farm was adjacent to Saint Hill Manor and became part of Gibbs Crawfurd's estate when he married Anna Payne in 1760. In the 1772 tax roll for East Grinstead , William's assessment was divided into two line items: "Wm Streater for Dunnings 3L- 2s 9d" and "of him for Farrants -L-16s 3d" so Farrants was probably located near Saint Hill Manor as well. These are the *only* references that I have been able to find for "Farrants" so far. Any other references would be greatly appreciated, especially any that identify a more precise location. Although Lady Compton was the proprietor of Farrants by 1771, perhaps Farrant/Farrants was the surname of a previous proprietor. Given the lack of other references for "Farrants," I am presuming that the property was known by other names prior to the 1770s and after 1795. Can anyone familiar with the area identify the current names of properties in this immediate area to enable further research? Here is my customized Google Map which shows where Dunnings Farm was located in relationship to Saint Hill Manor: <http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=104293632703108 193753.000442f0f14a388d5af5c&t=p&z=10> Thanks for your help!

East Grinstead Property: "Green('s) Farm" @ Saint Hill My ggggg-grandfather, William Streater (ca. 1713-1787), occupied Dunnings Farm, East Grinstead from 1737 until his death. On 27 October 1777, he testified that had also been occupying 10 acres of land that was part of "Green's Farm" in East Grinstead for the past 5 years. Dunnings Farm was adjacent to Saint Hill Manor and became part of Gibbs Crawfurd's estate when he married Anna Payne in 1760. Not surprisingly, I found that "Green F." [Green Farm] was also adjacent to Saint Hill Manor, as illustrated in this map from 1795: <http://www.theweald.org/m00.asp?PicIdto=50808306> However, buildings on this map are not consistently labeled so it is not possible to say exactly what the boundaries of "Green F." farm were or even if it lay on the west or east side (or both sides?) of the road from East Grinstead to West Hoathly. This is the *only* reference that I have been able to find for "Green's Farm" or "Green Farm" so far. "Green's Farm" was probably the unnamed property shared by William Streater and Abraham Huggett by 1780 until 1786, as documented in the annual tax rolls. Any other references would be greatly appreciated! Given the lack of other references for "Green Farm" or "Green's Farm," I am presuming that the farm was known by other names prior to the 1770s and after 1795. Can anyone familiar with the area identify the current names of properties in this immediate area to enable further research? I love Google Maps but you can't search for what you don't know! Here is my customized Google Map which shows approximately where "Green Farm" would be located today, in reference to Saint Hill Manor, Saint Hill Green and what was Dunnings Farm: <http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=104293632703108 193753.000442f0f14a388d5af5c&t=p&z=10> Thanks for your help!

Dear Doug, I've transcribed the following from a newspaper article written by my Grandmother's first cousin, Hilderic Robin DE GRUCHY (b 1899 Hastings- abt 1973 Australia). Sorry I don't know when it was published or where but perhaps it will help. Cheers, Joanne Joanne Mays Becker Sleepy Hollow, New York Land of Milk and Honey? After the first World War (1914-1918) I was in the 4th East Surrey Regiment, and served in France, Belgium and Germany, mostly occupational work. I served from 1918-1921. When I got my discharge from the Army in England there was a big depression there and I was unable to get any kind of a job. My family kept me and so, when the government said that there was a plan to enable young men (who passed the physical test) to go to Australia, and offering government jobs over there so that the government would be repaid for the trip, I felt I should go to Australia, the land of milk and honey. I sailed then on the ship SS "Deogenes" via the Cape. It took two months to get there. The ship was coal driven. I remember very well arriving in Melbourne, and there was a police strike on. Although it only lasted a few hours, it caused much damage, big stores were looted and thousands of pounds worth of jewellery and clothes were stolen: not a pleasant way to be welcomed to a new land. In Melbourne I was sent to various farms for 10s. a week and my board and lodging. After I had repaid the government for the trip (which took two years) I was on my own, in a worse depression than I had left in England. I could not get any work at all. Unemployed men hitch-hiked from town to town. We would do anything for a meal, such as cutting wood, and odd jobs. We lived on rations given out by the government. It was no better until 1939 when, on account of the World War Two, there was the making of munitions, etc. >From then on I was able to make a living in construction work, etc. I never married, and I never owned a home.

Greetings, I'm trying to fill in some gaps with regard to an Edward Albert LORD born 1864 in Northiam, Sussex. He was last seen heading west in approximately 1884, and I understand he moved to Kansas (Kingman?). He was the son of James Winser LORD. Although I have access to Ancestry UK, I don't have access to the US returns. If SKS could find him for me, I would be most grateful. I would particularly like to sort out his wifes maiden name and his children. As I understand it, his wife's first name was Ada, and he had 5 children, Franklyn, Albert, James, Ada and William. Did he have more? Searching as being born in England and his year of birth, 1864, should find him. Many thanks. -- Kind Regards Eddie Lord Researching: LORD; REEVES; SELDEN; FREWEN

Has anyone on list have connections to the GADD family around the Chichester/Portsea/West Sussex area? Connecting the dots via the IGI, which I know is very far from complete, I have Maybe so far traced back to the Henry Gadd + Martha Smith marriage of 1699/1700, but seem to fail to find any documentation suggesting the submitters entry for Henry Gadd's origins at Aldingbourne c1675 are correct. Further information to go with this entry are these..... Settlement Orders & Cases 1661-1700 Petworth Sessions 2 & 3 Oct 1727 Mary GADD, wife of John and her 3 children; JPs Order removing them from Rumboldswick to Aldingbourne set aside Arundel Sessions 8 & 9 1728 Mary GADD, and her 3 children; JPs Order removing them from Rumboldswick to St Olives Chichester set aside (would this have been Mary's home parish?) Midhurst Sessions 14 & 15 Jan 1734 John GADD, wife Elizabeth: Elizabeth, Sarah, Anne; JPs Order removing them from Rumboldswick to Aldingbourne confirmed. Just perhaps John and Henry Gadd were both brothers or father and son, both belonging to the parish of Aldingbourne?? Any advise please? cheers Bob

Dear Joan, Thank you very much for replying, I don't know of any connection, my Duke family came from Devon, I definitely have them back to 1804, probably earlier. Benjamin didn't marry in the parish he was where he born but having looked at records of the surrounding parishes I'm as sure as I can be that I found his baptism. I don't know why my grandfather went to East Sussex. Marion

Hi, My grandparents separated when my father was a young child & I would like to find out about my grandfather, his name was Percy G G Duke & he was found dead at his flat in St Leonards House, East Grinstead in 1965, according his death certificate he was a retired Publican. I would like to know if there are any lists of publicans or anything about St Leonards House,I would be very grateful for any suggestions or information at all really. I enquired about Coroner's inquest but it seems there aren't any records. Thank you Marion

Hi, is there someone who could do a look up for me at the East Sussex Record Office? Regards, Heather Brooks
