Hi list, I am wondering if any Croucher familiesin the surrounding area of Cuckfield, on this list, are missing a marriage for one Thomas Croucher born ? abt 1757 and married in Cuckfield in 1778. I would dearly love to follow this line back further. Many Thanks Sue

Good idea Bob - I have started matching up spouse pairs and adding parents and maiden names after coming across someone else who had done the same - it is a big help. I still check things out against census information, for example, if I can, but it really saves time and money. There is no way I can get all the certificates for several generations where there are 10+ surviving and productive offspring - 10 children each producing about 10 children and minimum 3 certs each; you can all do that sum - thousands of pounds in no time at all. I also correct information on any site that offers me that option, leaving my email if I feel confident that the site is secure, and the entry of sufficient interest to me. I always try to give supporting evidence if I can so that other people can check out my conclusions. Like many of us I have researched a few lines that have ended up not being mine, but I have tried to put this information on freely available websites (like that on Ancestry) so that it is not wasted - and it's then not a complete waste of my time.

I have been researching the history of West Tarring near Worthing for many years, and have a wealth of research material, including copies of the Court Rolls from 1638 to 1815, the Land Tax Assessments from 1781 to 1832 and much more. I am now downsizing and am looking for a new home for this material. Does anyone out there know someone who could make good use of this stuff? It occupies about two metres of shelf space. I also have Sussex Archaeological Collections volumes 81-144 excluding volume 91, and 26 ealier volumes, plus all (?) of Sussex Notes and Queries. These are of limited genealogical use, but invaluable for wider local history research. Any suggestions? Roger

Anyone out there received the odd one or two "wrong" certificates from the GRO? Something which I picked up on another list is the value in the future of placing a "postem" note of up to 250 words describing basic details shown on the certificate alongside the index entry as shown on FreeBMD. For common surnames this may save future researchers or eventually self sending for a "wrong one"! Conversely if a "correct" one for your tree you can add extra information regarding siblings, parents, age at death etc. + contact e-mail should you wish contact with a same family researcher. Sounds like a good idea to me who has had about a dozen "wrong certificates" over the years. What do you think? cheers Bob

Would some kind person have access to the registers for 1846 and tell me who Jane Sands parents were. She was born on 6 July 1846. Thank you for any information received. Judy Berntsen New Zealand

I would appreciate and guidance on this Regards Bob Newell

Henry Clark, haberdasher of Rye and Mary Clark (maiden name) had many children. Two sons, Phillip and Edward immigrated to USA, about 1819. A Sister (name unkn) may have come before. Could some one tell us how to find if other siblings also migrated to the States? Any help will be appreciated.

Hello Listers In a list from the Sussex People Index, I found the following note: Hny. Alce of Eastbourne. Sussex Poll 1705 Freeholder. Where can one find the records of the Sussex Poll of 1705? Would it be at ESRO? I'm particularly interested as I have a number of Sussex ancestors who'd have been around in 1705, in and around other places in Sussex as well as in Eastbourne and nearby.

Because a) BTs are transcripts b) but were often produced by churchwardens who sometimes seemed to know more about parish events, people and names than the parsons c) PRs were also sometimes (if not often) themselves transcripts of notes made at the time by the parson of baptisms, marriages and burials perforned by himself , and d) (although this is no more than a suspicion on my part derived from Bodiam PRs and BTs, but which I also suspect was not an isolated case) because the incumbent would rather not tell the Diocesan Registry the full story of what appears to have been his "trade" in marriages in case he was hauled over the coals (or far worse) by the church courts! The Bodiam PRs and BTs differ noticeably for a short period (10 years) in the late 17th c. particularly in respect of marriages. Whereas the PRs almost always give details of parish of origin the BTs are generally deficient in those details, except for two years. The brides and grooms came from many different parishes in east Sussex and mid-Kent . Both PRs and BTs were signed off by the vicar and appear to be in the same hand. One good reason that I have found for using BTs, whatever the rights and wrongs of both forms, is that they are often more legible than the PRs either through better preservation or through greater care taken and better handwriting, I always try to see both and make my own mind up on which to use or whether simply to show notes of the differences Jim Halsey

A quick and probably very simple question to answer. I am currently trawling through my recently acquired Heathfield microfiche and wondered if someone can briefly tell me why a baptism, marriage or burial would appear in the Parish Register and not the Bishops Transcripts or vice versa; and also sometimes in both. Thanks Chris
