Hello, I am hoping someone can help with the following from the 1901 census:- Abraham GODDEN b. abt 1867 Ewhurst, Sussex and wife Martha Ann b. 1872 Sandhurst, Kent. In 1891 Abraham was noted as a Farm Labourer and "deaf, not from birth" I am looking for the 1901 details for Abraham and Martha and their children to clarify if I have the correct family ongoing....... Thanks for your time. All the best, Michael Metcalfe London, UK www.sheather.co.uk No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Does anybody have any knowledge of, or any interest in, the PAGE and BOTTING families from the Steyning/Shermanbury area of Sussex, please? I am particularly interested in a Thomas Alfred PAGE who married Alice BOTTING in 1907 at Steyning. Thomas was the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Henrietta PAGE and (according to the IGI) was baptised at Shermanbury on 8 August 1869. His siblings were also baptised at Shermanbury as follows: 1 November 1863 Charles John PAGE 28 May 1865 Fanny PAGE 26 August 1866 Annie Teasdale PAGE 5 May 1872 Amy Elizabeth PAGE Thanks Chris Page

Hi Everyone, Its been awhile since I've been on the list, but I have just discovered that another ancestor hailed from Sussex. John BALLARD has told us on his military records in the 1820's that the was born in Fishbourne, Sussex in 1791. Does anyone have access to Fishbourne Parish Registers Indexed Transcripts who would consider doing a lookup for me, as I have found an entry in the IGI for the baptism of a John BALLARD at Fishbourne on the 5th May 1771. I also think that our John probably had at least 2 sisters Sarah and Mary Ann who are buried at St St Peter & St Mary's Church, Fishbourne. And I would dearly like to confirm this entry is my John, and that Sarah & Mary Ann are his sisters. If anyone does have access to the Fishbourne Parish Registers Indexed Transcripts and is willing to do this lookup for me could they please let me know. Best Wishes Kim Pasquill Victoria - Australia

Hello Listers In the SFHG Burial Index, I found the burials of husband and wife, Abraham & Sarah ALCE, in East Blatchington, in the same grave on the same day - 11 Dec 1803. Is anyone able to suggest where I might look to find if it was an accident or what, please? Many thanks. Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia

My thanks to Meegan & Sue for their response. They've come up with a couple I'll follow-up - much appreciated. Jean NZ

Dear Nick Meshach Leopard & Amelia Goatcher are my great great grandparents. The story is that Amelia ( who was sometimes called Mildred or Millie) was bp 1.12.1799 at Cuckfield d.o. Edward Marchant & Sarah Butcher. She firstly married James Goatcher 1.1.1821 at West Hoathly and they had children - William 1820, Thomas 1822, Sarah 1824 & Frederick 1827. Sometime thereafter she went to live with Meshach Leopard 1804-1891 and they had the following illlegitimate children - Meshach 1830, Itisha 1831, Mary 1835, Ellen 1837, Priscilla 1840, William 1841 & Sophia 1849. I do not know what happened to James Goatcher - possibly he died or perhaps Amelia simply had an adulterous relationship. Meshach Leopard, however, did finally marry her 8.12.1864 at West Hoathly when he was 60 and she was 65. She died 14.08.1871 at West Hoathly.

I'm hoping someone with access to the West Hoathly Parish Records will be able to help sort out some conflicting information I have on one of my branches. One set of information I have gives a Meschach LEPPARD (or could be LEPARD or LEOPARD) born 1804 in West Hoathly who married Amelia GOACHER (no date) and then married Mildred GOACHER 8th December 1864. The second set of information I have gives Meschach married to Amelia and one of their children was also Meschach born 1829 and it was this second Meschach (1829) who married Mildred GOACHER in 1864!! The basic census records I have only make things more confusing; 1841 - Meschach living with Amelia GOACHER & 6 GOACHER children, one is Meschach aged 12 1851 - Meschach living with Amelia GOACHER (listed as Housekeeper) and 3 GOACHER children (listed as sons & daughters) plus 2 GOACHER grandchildren 1861 - Meschach (age 51) living with Mildred GOACHER a Widow (possibly sister of Amelia) 1871 - Meschach (age 66) living with Mildred LEPPARD, wife 1881 - Meschach LEPPARD (age 54) a widower - son of Meschach and Amelia? - Meschach LEPPARD (age 76) a widower I'd be grateful if someone could check the records to see if ages etc are given at marriage and as both Meschach's were widowers in 1881, who did they marry. Incidently I also have a James LEOPARD marrying a Sophia GOACHER in 1867 in WH & another James LEPPARD who married Mary GOACHER in 1855 in WH. I wonder if all these GOACHER's were related. Any help would be much appreciated. Nick Leppard

Hi Neil, Have just looked at 1915 Kelly's on www.historicaldirectories.org and the only mention is of Misses Howell at The Cottage, Edensor Road, Meads. Have looked at www.old-maps.co.uk and can find Edensor Road but no building marked as The Cottage. Although Edensor Road existed on the 1900 map there didn't seem to be any houses built so the 1901 census probably wouldn't help. sorry can't find anything else. cheers, Anne > From: neilmaryan@btinternet.com> To: SUSSEX-PLUS-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sat, 13 Oct 2007 11:27:42 +0100> Subject: [SXP] Kelly's enquiry for 1917 Eastbourne> > I have recently been given details regarding my G/Grandmother living in > The Cottage, Meads, Eastbourne .in 1917.> Her name was Lillian MARYAN> Is there anyone who has access to the 1917 Kellys directory of Eastbourne who could look for either the name or tell me where it could be in Meads.> It is probably going to be somewhere near Meads Street.> Kindest regards> Neil> > -------------------------------> To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SUSSEX-PLUS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message _________________________________________________________________ Feel like a local wherever you go. http://www.backofmyhand.com

Hi:Am trying to ascertain if/how the Grettons are a part of my family tree. They are shown in my parents' wedding photo in 1935 & referred to as "Uncle Tom & Auntie Flo" & in the early 1940's I remember being taken to visit them in D'Aubigny Road, Brighton, at which time they would probably have been in their 50's. If anyone has knowledge of them or interest in them I would appreciate hearing from you. Many thanks. Jean NZ

I have recently been given details regarding my G/Grandmother living in The Cottage, Meads, Eastbourne .in 1917. Her name was Lillian MARYAN Is there anyone who has access to the 1917 Kellys directory of Eastbourne who could look for either the name or tell me where it could be in Meads. It is probably going to be somewhere near Meads Street. Kindest regards Neil
