Just to say these are indexed by surname, and by location. There are too many entries per location so I'll just be offering the surname check.

Kind Regards. Valerie, Aust. Valerie, I'll answer the Thornton Heath part of your queries. Thornton Heath is part of the London Borough of Croydon, Croydon formerly being a County Borough in Surrey. East Croydon railway station is on the London to Brighton railway line. Thornton Heath is on the A23, the main London to Brighton road. I'd estimate the distance from Thornton Heath to Brighton as being 38.5 miles , say 62 kilometres.

Hi Walter When you say you need help 'interpreting these certificates' what exactly do you mean? Difficult to read the actual words? Happy to help but we need to know in what way. Also many people on the list also belong to many lists and won't necessarily remember what the original 'help' request was. You may need to remind us. We'll do our best.

I am happy to try and help where I can, but the search that you have requested could be a very long one and really needs to be narrowed down, otherwise several hours of research is likely to be needed. Ardingly has five contiguous parishes viz Lindfield, West Hoathly, Worth, Balcombe and Cuckfield. If the baptism isn't found in one of those, then taking the next concentric ring of parishes around Ardingly will involve a search of an additional 12 parishes, some of which are in West Sussex and some are in East Sussex. Secondly, William is a very common Christian name at that time and searching for a baptism without knowing his surname is likely to throw up a large number of potential candidates. You state that his potential parents are John LEOPARD & Catherine who married in 1691. As you have found the marriage, why is it that Catherine's Maiden name is unknown? Also, it is a tradition that a bride marries in her own parish, where was the marriage, please? That would be the first place to search for the baptism.

Hi, I posted to the group about 2 weeks ago. I received the marriage certificates for Dorothy Shewan. It was under the thread "Need some help", and would someone please help me with interpreting these certificates. I posted them to my google picasa web album. http://picasaweb.google.com/gator896/BirthMarriageDeathCertificates?authkey=xYsZi32tFRQ Or I can send them via email to someone if you are interested in helping me.

Hi, I have no connection to this family, only the church of St. Peter and St. Paul, West Wittering. On the list of clergy on the church wall it says 1793 Roger Challice BA. I have the parish registers on fiche and the earliest reference I can find to Roger is 1798 on a marriage entry. He performed his last baptism in September of 1815 and was buried April 28th 1816, aged 70yrs old. If he had a headstone it is now sadly unreadable. A Samuel Hugh Challice was baptised there January 16th 1825 son of Samuel and Jane. Samuel was a blockade sailor. My family has links back to 1670 with this church which will be further strengthened when my first grandchild, Ellie, will be baptised there in March.

Please can anyone help? I am looking for anything about David Christopher Lewis born 1849 in Brimpton, Berkshire. I can find him on the 1861 census age 11 with his family in Thatcham, Berkshire but then he and his family disappear, until November 1920 when I have a marriage for him to Caroline Rose Wills aged 65 a spinster (and relative of mine) in Canada. He is a widower aged 71. Caroline Rose sailed over from England on her own (I have the passenger record) to marry him. David's mother is listed on the 1861 census as a Methodist Preacher - could this be a clue - have they gone abroad as missionaries and is there anywhere I can find out? I know this is a long shot but any help or suggestions much appreciated. Caroline Rose Wills's father was born in Chichester, but I don't think that is any help on this occasion. Trish

I have two Devon ancestors, both called Roger CHALLICE, and both born in Lapford, Devon. They were uncle and nephew and both became vicars in Sussex. I am seeking any information about either, but particularly if any graves exist, and if the younger Roger ever married. They were Roger baptised 1727 who was vicar of Mayfield from about 1766 until his death in 1780.

Dear Paul, Try: _http://www.lambethpalacelibrary.org/holdings/Guides/clergyman.html_ (http://www.lambethpalacelibrary.org/holdings/Guides/clergyman.html) for information on tracing information on Clergymen and _http://www.theclergydatabase.org.uk/_ (http://www.theclergydatabase.org.uk/) There is some information on both CHALLICEs and the database is growing. Also, you may be able to find a copy of "Mayfield: A History" by R.C.G FOSTER, which I noted on a trip at ESRO, hopefully it will include information about the CHALLICEs.

Hi Anji, nice to hear from you. Thanks so much for the look ups. Unfortunately It doesnt help much does it, unless I can find the birth/baptism of Susanna. William and Susanna were my 3xGt Grandparents. I am descended from their daughter Martha b 1838 and she was the sister of Mary Ann b1846 who married Frank Blann. No, I agree, The IGI isnt very reliable when they are not the original extracts.
