I erred with the death date of Harry Escott in my previous message. He died in 1948 in Hove at the age of 91. I have copies of brief death notices from The Times and the Brighton Gazette but they tell nothing of surviving members or his life. I am hoping for a full obituary or biography that will give more detail on parents and place of birth. Gordon Hillman No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Do you really need Baptism Certificates? If so, the contact details for all English Anglican churches can be found on the web. Go to http://www.acny.org.uk, enter Henfield in the Search Box and you will find all the details that you need to make contact. However, Baptism Certificates are really expensive - I think that they are about £10 each and if you can't give the exact date of baptism and the vicar has to make a search of the registers, it will cost more. So, for family history purposes, I think most people are happy to make a search of the filmed Baptism Registers and simply make a note of the date and other details, or obtain a photocopy for a small fee if it is a particulrly important entry. The Henfield Baptism Registers have been deposited up to 1897 at the West Sussex Record Office in Chichester and you could send them an E-mail and ask them to quote for photocopying and posting the entries that you need. Alternatively, I think that the Henfield registers are on the IGI up to around 1875, so you could order the film at your local LDS Family History Centre. Either way, it would probably be a much cheaper option for you. Best wishes Marion Woolgar Bognor Regis, West Sussex

I have an marriage entry in the 1948 GRO index in which two surnames are shown for the wife. I assume this means that she has been married before. What I want to know is does the order in which the names are listed have any significance. In this case the entry reads "DREWETT or FOSTER". does this mean she was born a FOSTER and her first marriage was to a DREWETT or vice versa or can it be either. I can't seem to find the first marriage Jennie Tokoroa, NZ

Hi, Another hyposis is that it could also be that the woman was an illegitmate born child, but her mother subsequently married either the father or another man so the child thus giving the child another surname. I have seen this before, Lorna

Hello to all on Sussex Plus, may this month be one of Joy for you. I have done little research on my WHITE Brickwall for some time and thought with a New Year coming up it was time to see if new ideas were available from this List. My brickwall is finding where my 4x Ggrandparents were born, Henry White and Ann Turner. They were married Sep 24 1713 at Pulborough and produced 3 children at Cuckfield, John c 02 Jan 1716 bu Jan 09 1716 , Henry c 23 Oct 1718 and Thomas c 06 Aug 1719.. On 02 Feb 1721 Henry & Ann moved from Cuckfield to Hurstpierpoint(as recorded in the Marchant Diary) and there produced 6 more children. John c 25Apr 1722, William c 26 Oct 1723, Anne c 27 Dec 1724, Elizabeth c 18 Sep 1726, Sarah c 25 Jan 1729 bu 13 Jun 1730 and Sarah c 09 Nov 1735 bu 22 Jan 1736. If any of you have any ideas or connections I would be delighted Phil White in New Hampshire USA Roots in Sussex and IOW

I too have an entry like this, in 1940, where BOTH surnames (maiden and first marriage) were shown against the entry for the man, and the woman was listed twice, once under each surname. In this case I was able to find the first marriage - but I think the sequence of the 2 surnames was purely alphabetical, as the first name listed was her 1st married name. I found this very useful but have not managed to find any information about 1) whether this was a standard practice or just occasional 2) if it WAS standard, when did it start? Does anyone else have any more information about this? Regards, Andrea

Here at home - Canada. I have done many searches re marriages etc The Marriage index - will show - the marriage registration listed twice - same registration number . with the each showing one of the surnames. When we marry [at least years ago] we took our husbands surname as ours - thus after being widowed or divorced - that was our legal surname . The one under which we would be married. Thankfully - having the name listed twice - helps give us something to follow - Cheers, Stella At 12:58 PM 06/12/2007, andrea_fh@talktalk.net wrote: >On Fri, 7 Dec 2007, Jennie in Tokoroa, NZ wrote: > > > I have a marriage entry in the 1948 GRO index in which two surnames >are shown for the wife.

Hi Anne, Always best - to post a separate message - showing your interests, with surnames in Capital Letters on the Subject line - rather than attaching to a previous message. Perhsons reading the heading Dead Quiet - as an example - may not read any following messages - and may ignore or delete the message - thus missing your research interests Just a thought on my part.

Is everyone taking a break Phil White

Hi List, I am interested to hear from anyone who may have connections to my Ford ancestors who appear to have originated in Westbourne Sussex, then are found in Chelsea London, and then in Avoca Victoria Australia. My 3 x Great Grandmother - Sarah Ford arrived with her husband Peter King, together with their 3 children, Charles, Peter Jnr., and Mary Ann, from Chelsea London in the mid 1850's. Her husband went on to set up a Bakery business with their 2 sons in High St Avoca. Her parents Charles Ford and Ann Richards were said to have been born in Sussex. I would like to make contact with any descendents of this Ford family and am willing to swap all information I have collected to date. Hoping there is someone out there who is interested ! With best wishes from sunny Queensland ................ Joan Jackson. Some Surnames connected to the Ford Family include :- Carslake, Clark, Cruikshank, Eastmore, Furguson, Hartley, Harvey, King, Newman, Noble, Paragreen, Richards and Tijou.

Have you tried Sussex Industrial Archaeological Society who have a Mills Group? http://www.snowing.co.uk/sias/millsgroup.htm Equally they would probably be very interested in your picture Chris On 01/12/2007, Ros Dunnico <ros.dunn@tiscali.co.uk> wrote: > I am wondering if anyone can help me, please.

Thank you to everyone who replied to my request for information about windmills in Arundel. I have sent a copy of my picture to the Sussex Windmill website and asked for their opinion, as the photo they have is not exactly the same as the one in my picture. My research interests in Sussex are the STURT family of Arundel and Stopham and the STEVENS family of Arundel and Swanage, Dorset. Ros Dunnico.
