Hi Robin, I think that it means that is how far the Coroner had to travel to the 'scene' and that is the amount he was paid for his expenses - travel and such. Emma Robin Coates <robin.coates1@btinternet.com> wrote: Hello. Sorry but it is me again. 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?. Edward prefaced pretty well anything he had to say with 'oh dear' and, yes you've guessed, was known to all and sundry as 'oh dear'. With many thanks.

Judy, I don't have this family in my tree but have done some digging on ancetsry.com and have the following information: Frederick Victor Joseph Elphick was born in about 1867 in Udimore, Sussex. He was the son of Jospeh Elphick (b abt 1829 in Uckfield) and Emily Elphick (b abt 1835 in Croyden, Surrey). Ethel Elphick was born Ethel EM Elphick in Camberwell District in Jun Q 1888. She seems to have married ? Sibley in Sep Q 1915 in Brighton District. I can't find her in the 1901 census. I can't find a death for Olive. The only piece of information that I can find is that Olive was born in Tunbridge, Kent in abt 1868 (despite what the index on ancestry.co.uk states it is Tunbridge, not Sunbridge).

Hi, I haven't posted my surname interests for a while. I am interested in the following families. Where I have listed individuals, this represents the "top" of my tree. I apologize that this is a long list but my family wasn't very imaginative and tended to stay in Sussex (mainly East Sussex) for many centuries.

I would also be most happy to share the information that I have. Sellens/Sellins/Sellings - mainly in the Sedlescombe area.

Hi Mark I too am searching for ELPHICKs in Sussex I have a Madeline Lily ELPHICK that married a Walter William GREEN in Steyning in February 1920. Her father was listed on her marriage certificate as "Henry" but her birth certificate (she was born December 1890) has her father as Frederick Victor Joseph ELPHICK and her mother as Olive ELPHICK (formerly Alway). I have yet to find out anything about Olive. Her (half) brother, Frederick, is a witness to their marriage In the 1891 census there is another daughter listed with Frederick and Olive - Ethel age 3, and a "brother in law - Arthur Stockbridge, age 20. I have been unable to find out anything about either of these two individuals either. In the 1901 census, Frederick is now married to Edith (nee Coussens) and they have another child, Frederick age 2. Madeline (or Lily, as she was known by) is my husband's maternal grandmother (he was adopted from birth and does not know any of his family personally) Judy BC Canada > -------------------------------> To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SUSSEX-PLUS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message _________________________________________________________________

It is possible that George GOODMAN didn't have the financial qualification to appear on an Electoral Register circa 1911. It wasn't until the Representation of the People Act 1918 that all men over 21 had the unqualified right of Suffrage. So, if you were to check the 1919 Electoral Register, you may be able to find his address and hopefully it will be the same as that shown on his son's 1912 Birth Certificate. Of course there would still be no certainty that he would be at that address on 02 April 1911. The last I heard on the subject of the 1911 Census is that there will be a phased early release of the non-sensitive census data beginning next year and that the release will be on a geographic basis, beginning with the major conurbations. I haven't seen a detailed timetable by County so far, but hopefully one will be released in due course. Full release will be available on 01 Jan 2012. Have you tried looking at the problem from the other end? If I get stuck on the other events in a person's life, I sometimes find it helpful to go forward in time and find their death registration which should give either their reported age at death (from 1866 to 1969) or their reported date of birth (from 1969 to date), depending upon when they died. Once you have found the year of death, you could search for a Will and you often find that any confusion regarding the names that they used at various stages of their life was sorted out at Probate. Of course, once you have a better idea of when they were born, you can search for their birth registration and perhaps buy the Birth Certificate which should show the place of birth. Census searches to fill in the gaps then become that bit easier. Best wishes Marion Woolgar Bognor Regis, West Sussex

Hi everyone, Has anyone got George Goodman who married Edith Ann Burns (or Leversuch or Whickman depending on which documents you read) at Warblington, Hampshire on the 4 September 1911 on their tree? George could be George Henry or Henry George or even just plain George. Who ever said that family history was easy! According to their marriage certificate George’s father’s name was William. George and Edith lived at Stoughton, West Sussex after their marriage and their first child Arthur F Goodman was born at Walderton, Stoughton in 1912. Here I should add that I’ve searched the electoral rolls for 1910,1911 and 1912 with no result so can’t even get the 1911 census early by knowing their address. Any help in finding him would be so gratefully received. Thank you, Margett West Sussex
