I am trying to find a record of the marriage of Stephen Bentley to his second wife Mary Ann Stone. Stephen's first wife died in Nov 1834 and Mary Ann's first child was baptised in May 1836. Stephen lived in Poling and Mary Ann was born in Arundel although it is likely that her family had moved to Poling by the time of the marriage. I have not found it in the Poling or Arundel parish registers. Has anyone any thoughts as to where I could look next? Ron

Hi Honiss research The only one I can find on the IGI is born/chr 1802 Rye parents Wm & Mary BUT they are only 8 miles apart. I put in Edward + Hon* + Sussex and nothing of value came up....1851 and zilch 1841 But I followed up one that was Bonnes - easy mistranscription of Honiss I thought and it read as Barnes......so Ancestry has it's down side. Bear in mind the Honnis, the mistrans etc hence searching for Honiss under Hon* also just Edward 1802 +- five years + Sussex, hence the Bonnis. I have two suggestions...... My first thought was to get the original parish registers from Holy Trinity Hastings, but nothing comes up on the LDS library catalogue for Holy Trinity Hastings. But a google search reveals that the Holy Trinity Hastings comes under the Diocese of Chichester. Someone in the Uk may have an answer here. My only other suggestion and a very cost effective one from experience is to join the family history group for Sussex. They have been a boon to me A member can access the MI's (marriage indexes) the monumental inscriptions, etc etc quarterly mag, contact others with the same name that are members...well worth the fee.

Hello., I have just extended my research to include the YOUNG and NORMAN families living in the Mayfield/Frant area mid 19th century and earlier. Any help would be much appreciated; more than happy to share the little that I have. With many thanks. Robin.

If you go to the 1066 Genealogy Website there are some records for Holy Trinity Edwards Marriage is there and he is on the 1828 census also William Henry Honiss both Cabinet makers It is possible they were baptised at Rye as there are no Baptism for The American Ground before 1820 Just enter Honiss and a list will come up Regards Jackie -----Original Message----- From: sussex-plus-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:sussex-plus-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of honiss Sent: 14 February 2008 04:58 To: SUSSEX-PLUS@rootsweb. com Subject: [SXP] HONISS birth record I am returning to this list after a break of 4 years & hope to have more success in 2008.

Dear Ted, My connection with MOCKFORDs is that I talk to a few from time to time in the graveyard of St. Andrew's Church, Bishopstone. Firstly, Thomas and Elizabeth MOCKFORD who were buried, aged 67 and 66, in 1875 and 1876 respectively. Secondly: Avis, eldest daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth on 30th January 1866, aged 36. Matilda, youngest daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth on 25th January 1865, aged 26. Edith, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (and wife of George PUTLAND) on 2nd March 1866, aged 31. The winters of 1865 and 1866 must have been harsh or plague ridden. Plus, Edith and George, children of Edith and George, in 1861 and 1865, 11 months and 2 months respectively. Also, Joseph and Eliza MOCKFORD who were buried, aged 84 and 93, in 1926 and 1940 respectively. There are also a number of tombstones for the NOAKES family. Edward NOAKES married a Sarah MOCKFORD in 1825. Ted, contact me off list since I may be able to provide contact with others who have MOCKFORDs in their family trees. Regards, Roger BACON (from Norfolk originally. been in Sussex just over five years)

Am posting my name interests of MORBEY/CHAPMAN/SKINNER/RICHARDSON These families are to be found in the Brighton, Preston and Steyning area. Any information would be greatly appreciated especially for the middle and late 1900's. Kind regards.

Hi, we've just taken over as co-ordinators for the 1861 Sussex Census transcription project for FreeCEN, and are keen to recruit new helpers. Transcribing the handwritten census returns into spreadsheet form is what's required. Could you give a few hours (well, alright, several hours...) to help out? You'll be helping to complete one of the better searchable databases - and it's FREE, of course - and can probably choose to work on a village or parish in Sussex where you have a particular interest. Full instructions and lots of support are on offer. Please give it some thought... Simon and Chris

Hi, One of my long term brickwalls is Mary VITLER Mary VITLER b. c1784 - d. (Mary DIBLEY) 1842 http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=billinghurst&id=I727 Mary married Thomas DIBLEY in 1807 in Frant, SSX. Thomas was from Tonbridge/Leigh, and the family later resided in Tunbridge Wells. Now there are basically no VITLERs in the vicinity, though there are a few VIDLER and VIDLAR. The IGI gives good potential in Ticehurst however, nothing for Frant, and I have not been able to find any place that has Wadhurst data to know whether there are many there. The SFHG baptismal index does not cover much in the way of parish records for this NE corner of Sussex for the period. When it gets to this border area, I start to get lost with the records, who has them, which society may be indexing, which are in, which are out, etc. Help, guidance, information all well appreciated. Thanks. Regards, Andrew Victoria, Australia

Beverly, Thanks for the information. It was most helpful. There indeed was a typo - it should have been 1613/14 for the marriage.

Dear Robin > The East Sussex Coroners' Records have an entry amongst 'Bills of George Gwynne' relating to my 3x great uncle Edward Everest:- > > '9 Dec. 1828. Hartfield. Edward Everest. 21 miles. £1.15s.9d.' > > This puzzles me. Does it mean that Edward had died 21 miles from his home in Hartfield and the authorities had to pay the above sum for him to be returned to Hartfield?. > ... As Emma says, this is the amount paid to the coroner. I know that in Oxfordshire, one can see from the Quarter Sessions records (they paid the bills) that coroners, at time time, charged a 20 shilling fee and then 9 pence per mile for travel. The rate in East Sussex seems to be identical: 20 shillings plus 21 miles at 9d per mile is £1 15s 9d. Best wishes Paul -- Paul Betteridge, Leafield, Oxfordshire pbetteridge@pobox.com

Marion Woolgar, I note that you very recently responded to an enquiry, in which you referred to the Index of the Arundel Anglican Parish Registers from 1560 - 1876. As I have ancestors who lived in Arundel, would you be able to have a look to see whether any GLOSSOPs appear in these registers? Any help will be very much appreciated.
