Would be interested to hear from anyone researching the CROUCH family in Worth 1840's through to Lingfield, Hartfield & Warlingham in the 1870's - 1920's ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam

I have WILLIAM SKINNER born about 1867 Henfield, Ashurst, Sussex. He married SARAH. A ??. In the 1881 census he and Elizbeth were living at 39 Mount Place, Brighton. His father William who also came from Henfield was living 6 Laurel Row, Brighton 1881 with brother Horace. It seems nearly all the family moved down to the Brighton area from Henfield. I am looking for any one who is researching this same family so that we can share info, especially for the 1930 era which is my main concern.

One of my ancestors was a coastguard in the early/mid 1800s >From the archives for coastguards DD means Date Discharged. Diane

Hello. I appear to have a problem on Census records concerning WILIAM SKINNER who married MARY ANN BLANN. William moved from Henfield, Ashurst, Sussex to Brighton where his wife Barbara died. In 1871 there was HORACE SKINNER aged 1 year and Williams new wife MARY ANN SKINNER nee Blann In the 1881 census, instead of Horace there is a daughter of the same age named GRACE but NO Horace. In the 1891 census Grace is still there and again NO Horace. 1901 census shows Horace married with 3 small daughters living Brighton. There does not seem to be a birth registration for Grace unless I,ve missed it. Could that be an error as has been suggested quite logically to me. Any suggestions!!!!!

My ggggrandfather's naval records state DD discharged dead. Sue Scarth Lawrence Hughes Ryan Harris Lane Leighton Marsh Smith Crisp Patterson Grimshaw Davis Simpson Hesketh Richardson Jones Watson Linklater Walker Wheeldon Wilson are all names of interest to me.

I can suggest two other possibles 1 Dishonourable Discharge 2 Drunk and Disorderly Though,Heaven forbid to either.Sailors don't do that kind of thing!

How about Discharged Steve in Zelston ----- Original Message ----- From: "PMR" <cliveden@acenet.net.au> To: "SSX-PLUS Mailing List" <SUSSEX-PLUS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2007 9:33 AM Subject: [SXP] Meaning of Dd. Hello Listers Some of my rellies were in the Royal Navy. The enlistment details of one of them reads as follows: **George Robins aged 19y9m. 5'8". St Pancras Chichester. Dark brown hair; gey eyes, fresh complexionj. Horse dealer. Enlisted HQ Portsmouth. Dd 14 Aug 1850. Paid £20.** Can anyone tell me what Dd means please? I thought it could be died, but being paid £20 seems to go against this, unless it was paid to his family. The other thought was dismissed. Or maybe it is something else? Many thanks Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia

Hello list Seems like i have been barking up the wrong tree. I have recently learnt of a link with Mary Ann Chainey b c 1798. she was married in Ewhurst to Thomas Ripley on 20.10.1816. I had assumed that this was in Surry and have been looking for records to see if anyone tell me if this is whre she was born or indeed who to? I did not realise that there was a Ewhurst in Sussex so will have to Google that. Does anyone have access to marriage records for Ewhurst, Sussex to do a look up? I beleive that her father's name was John Chainey. I know that she dies in Hellingly Sussex. Any information would be gatefully received Thank you Alison _________________________________________________________________ Get free emoticon packs and customisation from Windows Live. http://www.pimpmylive.co.uk

Hi all, Although I am not researching these names, the order of service for Eileen and Alex's wedding, on 28th May 1955 at The Countess of Huntingdon Church at Turners Hill, has come into my possession. If anyone would like a copy I can scan it and email it to you. Or if you would rather have the original I can send it by snail mail if I have your address. Eileen in Northampton

Hi Listers, I just thought I'd update you on a very interesting clue that I found on a death certificate(because the amount of e-mails has gone down!). My Mother always said that her grandmother had taught in Turkey. So after many years of searching - her Canadian death certificate (was online) stated "governess - teacher". She was 94 years old when she died and her nephew - in - law was the one that filled in the forms!!!! It also reconfirmed her mother and fathers name and where they were born (in England). I had very helpful people (our listers) over the years suggesting that she was probably a governess to a wealthy family - so this just confirmed it. It's so exciting to finally find a clue in the puzzle that is genealogy!!! Laurie Canada

Hello Ian, Thank you, and the rest of the team, for all of the work which you have done on the Barcombe and Hamsey website. I, too, have ancestors in both "camps" one of whom may have help to give you so much work. Isaac FOSTER moved to Barcombe from Rotherfield where he was born. In 1841, married to Mary BARTLETT, he was shown as the schoolmaster in Barcombe. In later censuses he was shown as the registrar of births and deaths for the village as well as running the school. He also helped in the enumeration of some of the censuses. Isaac and Mary had at least 10 children born in Barcombe. One of them, William, was the grandfather of my cousin. Earlier my gt gt grand parents, Edward and Martha CHANDLER lived in Hamsey where several of their children were born. At the time of his marriage in 1810 in Wivelsfield he was described as "Edward of Hamsey" but he was baptised in Barcombe Parish Church in 1792. If you have anymore information about these two families from your work on these two parishes or if anyone else has any connection to them I would be very pleased to hear from you. Best wishes, Ted White

Hi all Is there SKS who could check on the above for me? George doesn't seem to know his age, 1851 - 40, 1861 - 54, 1871 - 60. To date I can't find his Death cert to have a more precise date. His birthplace on 2 census is, Worthing, on another Loving. I can't find him, nor his wife on the 1841 as anything. Many thanks Andy

Hi Pam, Apologies about the email - don't know what happened there as I seem to be receiving other mail ok. Many thanks for replying though - it's nice to be appreciated even if I wasn't much help! I enjoy looking at other members queries - sometimes it is easier for an unrelated researcher to find something.

Hi everyone Great to see the positive comments about the project folks. I have been heavily involved with the Barcombe side of this project (although not with the website). There are a lot more details to be added, particularly to the Barcombe part of the site. I would be interested to hear from those (like Arlene in Maine) who have ancestors in the parish, as we would like to know what became of the families that left the parish. Also, you will see from the Barcombe 'Wills' selection that we are still looking for volunteers to assist with the transcribing of the remaining 100 Barcombe wills. So, if you have access to ESRO or to microfilms of the wills, please contact me off list. Ian Hilder It is Barcombe and Hamsey - not Barham- indeed an impressive amount of information- and I do have ancestors from Barcombe and found John CONSTABLE mentioned many times as land owner, - Thanks for sharing- great site- Arlene in Maine

I have not seen this website mentioned on this list but it is a remarkable collection of photos of Brighton and surrounding areas from C19: The James Gray Collection - the photographic archive of the Regency Society http://www.regencysociety-jamesgray.com/ It is a work in progress as they are digitising the photos as and when finances permit. >From the Intro on the website: "James Gray, 1904-1998, was a local collector with a passion for the streets of Brighton and Hove, and, as time went on, further afield. Working all his life in insurance, his initial collection of stamps gave way to local topographical photographs with the chance acquisition in the 1950s of a few images of Western Road. From then on he built up a massive collection: many of the entries are copies, exchanged with other collectors, others are views that he purchased or, more recently, that he commissioned. Although there is today a strong general interest in old photographs, both for their factual content and also for their artistic value, when James Gray started his collection there was little:we must be grateful that he had the foresight and the single minded dedication to assemble this unique record of our City."

Ooops. Thank you Arlene for pointing out my crass error. I /should/ have got it right as I have mixed up Barcombe and Balcombe enough times to recognise the place. But I am glad the site was useful.

Hi List, I was lucky enough to visit Ypres last week and I took a few photographs of the Menin Gate memorial. Some of these were of the Royal Sussex Reg. Unfortunately, not all the names are visible, however many of them are. If you would like a copy of these, or if you want me to see whether I can spot a particular person's name please email me off list (jaxblk@btinternet.com) Jackie Blackman

I am researching Peter Langley, married in Victoria, Australia in 1848 and died 1875. Apparently, he was from County Mayo. I can locate a Peter and Henry Langley, tried and sentenced to 14 years transportation from Sussex Assizes, in 1836. They were sent to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) where Henry died in 1844. I have recently discovered that at age 31, Henry was transported for poaching and left behind his wife Sarah, living near Petworth, West Sussex with 3 children. Peter, his 21 year old brother, was single and came from the same area. I am hoping that we might be researching the same Langley family. I am willing to share information. I look forward to hearing from you. Denise Langley dlangley3351@hotmail.com OR denisel@bigpond.net.au
