Hi Jan, I have Gurrs in my family from Sussex . Joseph Gurr 1824 from St. Michael Lewes married Mary Roberts 1819 from Seaford. His parents were George Gurr & Keturah Young, their parents being Henry Gurr & Mary Ranger. Joseph came to Adelaide with his brother Joshua in 1839. At least I know Joshau did, not quite sure if Joseph came with him. Don't know if this helps you Shirley Risely Macclesfield S Aust.

It worked for me. Ron Jerry White wrote: > Hmmm - it seems that for some reason the list software is repeating the > address. I wonder why?

No doubt we are all familiar with seeing old maps and modern satellite photos of the areas in which our ancestors lived, but how about old aerial photos? Someone at work has just shown me a website they have just stumbled across belonging to the Geography Research Centre at Sussex University. They have put on-line a whole load of aerial photos taken by the RAF of Sussex in the 1940s.Brighton is covered from Woodingdean and North Rottingdean across to Shoreham. They have also covered a large area of mid Sussex, including Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Cuckfield and Horsham, extending north to just south of Crawley. Notes in the borders of the Brighton photos show that they were taken on 19 Apr 1946, by a plane from 138 squadron. The sharpness and quality of these photos is truly amazing, a testament no doubt to the quality of the optics that would have been developed for wartime reconnaissance. You can still see signs of wartime activity in Brighton, such as gun emplacement sites and rows of Nissen huts on the Level. It's fascinating to see the narrow streets of the old Brighton slums that were demolished in the fifties and sixties to make way for the town centre development. Of course, a period street map will be needed to try and identify these streets. Also interesting is the amount of open downland to be seen that is now under modern housing. The site of my own house is just farmland on the Downs above Portslade. They also have photos taken from the 1950s to the 1990s, but these are not yet on line. The site is at: HYPERLINK "http://www.geog.sussex.ac.uk/grc/info/airphotos-historic/"http://www.geog.s ussex.ac.uk/grc/info/airphotos-historic/ Happy browsing!

I've seen other stuff like that in old newspapers (always more interesting than the stuff you're actually trying to find!). One account was of a suicide. The victim swallowed vitriol (sulphuric acid), which failed to kill him outright. So he then hanged himself. He seesm to have been rather inept, since this failed to kill him, too. So he then slit his wrists, and staggered out onto the street. This was obviously not his day, because he was then promptly arrested by a passing police constable, for the 'crime' of attempted suicide. The poor soul then died in the police station, a few hours later, of the effects of the vitriol. So much for the good ol' times... -- Regards Dave

I am interested in the Geering story as I have just discovered a Susannah GEERING in the 1700s entering the AVERY family in the West Dean/Piddinghoe area. A dreadful story, but just out of interest I looked to see what happened to them all.. In the 1841 CENSUS the household in Bedlam Green, Guestling, included Richard, 45, Mary Ann, 40, Philly [Philadelphia] 20, William, 20, George, 14, Benjamin, 10, Edwin, 7, Mary, 5, Andrew, 1, and James, 1month. This was the only GEERING family in Guestling. James, who was murdered, appears nowhere in Sussex, but I assume he was a servant somewhere. In June quarter of 1841 there is the marriage of William and Philadelphia Borns. Strangely she died in the same quarter as George Geering, which makes you wonder! So it looks as though in the 1841 Census William and Philadelphia were husband and wife, and James aged 1m. was their baby. Had they moved out before the murders? Or was Philadelphia an unsung victim too? In 1851, just out of interest, there are the following William, aged 30, widower, children Fanny, 7, and George, 5 Benjamin, his brother, aged 21, living with them. In other households there are the following, all living in - Andrew, 11, a servant . Went to sea, before 1861 James, aged 10, a servant Mary Ann, 16, a servant . Still a servant in 1861 Edwin, 18, a servant Possibly William took them all in after his parents' deaths. Benjamin was an Agricultural Labourer and self-sufficient. But with the death also of Philly, perhaps the 3 younger ones went straight out into Service. At 8 and 9 years old plenty of children did. Best wishes Barbara

Hi Everyone I'm listing my research list for Sussex area for anyone who's interested. Lancelot STEPHENS about 1829 then became Stevens when he arrived in Tasmania, Australia. He married Eleanor BURGESS in Lewes, Sussex. They were both from West Firle, Sussex. They came to Tasmania under the Bounty Scheme that recruited Farm labourers to work on the land holdings here. I would love to hear from anyone who is connected to them. Cheers Robin W, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia

If you are looking for a fairly straightforward guide, try "The Poor Are Always With Us" by Eve McLaughlin It is more of a booklet than a book and costs £3 here. "Family Tree Magazine" is published by ABM Publishing and they have an online bookshop at http://family-tree.co.uk/acatalog . I believe that they also have an Australian wing to their organisation, so you may not have to pay a currency transfer charge, other Aussies may be able to advise you on this point.
