Hi again, Tricky one this. Using the FreeBMD list on Ancestry and making a few assumptions I think that William may have died before the 1871 census. This is what I think I have found so far: Ellen Richardson registered birth Sept qtr 1869 Hastings vol 2b page 15 William Richardson marriage Dec qtr 1868 Hastings vol 2b page 32 - to Ellen Hoad. I would start by sending for these two certs. If these are correct then I have found Ellen with her mother in 1881 and 1891 - will send images anyway off list. I cannot find them in 1871 but it is possible that William died Sept qtr 1871 (Hastings vol 2b page 12). Have also found her in 1901. I have found a birth and death for a William Henry Richardson but he would still have been alive in 1871. But as I can't find them anyway this is always possible: birth Sept qtr 1844 Hastings vol 7 page 356 death Sept qtr 1878 Hastings vol 2b page 11 If this is the right William he was a shipwright in 1861 - would a carpenter fit this description? I guess most boats were made of wood then. let me know what you think. cheers, Anne From: militarywife02@hotmail.comTo: alc_goytre@hotmail.com; sussex-plus-l@rootsweb.comSubject: RE: [SXP] RICHARDSON, William Henry (1891 census)Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2007 13:43:17 +0000 Hello, ooops that info might have helped eh?Ellen Anne Richardson was born about 1869 and I have no idea about her mother's name or any other siblings, hoping to learn that.

I have received only single copies of Chris Page's emails, and other seem to be complete threads (I haven't checked the list archives). A few possibilities spring to mind: 1 Your or your ISPs S.p.A.m filters are a bit off - can you or have you checked your S.p.A.m folders? 2 Your ISP has had some problems and has not relayed some messages and in trying to sort out the problem has relayed others more than once. 3 You have some filters set up on your email client and they are being triggered to send your emails to a folder where you would not expect them. I did this a few years ago and swore blind to a friend that I had not heard from her only to find them several months later. To my shame I never owned up to the mistake :-( The best way to check if there is a problem is to look at the list archives <http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/SUSSEX-PLUS/> to check if you have missed anything and at the RootsWeb Helpdesk <http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/> to see if there is a problem there (yellow "sticky" at the top).

Buried in Hastings Borough Cemetery (with a beautiful ornate white marble headstone, erected in his memory by his wife) is one John Richard PEARSON listed as being a Major, who had died in Hastings on the 21st January, 1910. His second wife was Cecilia Harriet (nee Holford), and his parents were the Rev. John Pearson and Frances Harriet (unknown). Having visited the PRO earlier (and not having time to return to Kew,) from the Army records we found the following information: From the June edition (1880) of the OFFICIAL ARMY LIST - Gradation publication of a list of Officers of the British Army, Page 441: John Richard PEARSON b. 16 April, 1833. Bognor 1st Appointment................... 12 January 1852 Ben Art Lieutenant .................... 27 June 1857 Ben Art Captain ..................... 18 February 1861 Ben Art Half Pay .................... 10 May 1866 In all the following Officers Lists up until his death and on half pay he was described as Captain John Richard PEARSON. So where did the Major come from?? Where would I be likely to find information from here on possibly a promotion to this rank sometime between his exit from the army and before his death? or was he really still only a Captain and maybe had the nickname of Major, which just stuck. His death/obituary notices in the London TIMES and also the HASTINGS & ST. LEONARDS WEEKLY MAIL & TIMES, also named his as Major John R Pearson, but these could have been submitted by information from his wife.. Also if anyone has access to the Crockfords Clerical Indexes could they please look up Rev. John Pearson, born abt.1806 London, (died ?), who was a M.A. from Trinity College, Cambridge. His last postings as Rector were at Little Warley and East Horndon in Essex. He was 56 and a widower in the 1861C at East Horndon and I can't find him on any of the following Census records, so presume his death to have been between 1861-1871.

Good Day Listers, I am looking for information on a William Henry RICHARDSON, he would have been my 3xgreat grandfather. The only info I have is from his daughter Ellen Richardson's marriage certificate, St Clements Hastings Sept 02, 1893. It says he was a carpenter and deceased. Does someone have access to the 1891 census and could find the family for me? I thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Robyn, You may already have these but I have found him in 1881, 1891 and 1901 - described as Major in all. Cannot currently find him in 1841, 1861 or 1871 but he is a Gentleman Cadet in 1851.

In a message dated 9/23/2007 8:24:54 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, MaeMay510 writes: One of my female Maynards, bp. in Bodiam, SSX, 7 Feb. 1808, had 3 illegitimate children whose bps were listed in the Bodiam Parish records. John Maynard, bp. 8 May 1831. Albertina Maynard, bp. 12 April, 1835. Harriet Maynard, bp. 25 June 1837. If there were additional records on them in Bodiam for marriages and deaths, I didn't find them. I searched the parish records until my Rev. William Maynard, Wesleyan Methodist Church minister, and his wife, Sarah (Widow Phillips) nee Kemp, left in 1851 for the United States. They were in the Bodiam, SSX 1851 census, along with oldest son, William. Elizabeth Maynard would have been Rev. William Maynard's sister. Are there any Maynard researchers here? I have all the USA history and a lot of the Bodiam Maynard history. Shirley Maynard Hampton, VA USA ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Hi, Have looked with out success for James Pennicott born 1843 Apuldram Sussex and wife Frances Elizabeth born West Wittering 1847. They were at Birdham in 1884 when daughter Mauld Mary was born. Regards, Heather Brooks

I was a member of the SFHG for a few years and they are invaluable. I second the suggestion. We found many answers to Family history brickwalls, minor and inconvenient through this great resource. Cheers Pam from Adelaide. I have been a member of the Sussex Family History Group (SFHG) for several years (5571) but I am not a Committee member or involved with the running of the Group. I imagine that many of you on this mailing group are also members of the SFHG but I also imagine that many of you are not, despite having an interest in tracing your family history in Sussex. Over the last two months I have made extensive use of some of the services offered by SFHG and their members, and would like to

I have been a member of the Sussex Family History Group (SFHG) for several years (5571) but I am not a Committee member or involved with the running of the Group. I imagine that many of you on this mailing group are also members of the SFHG but I also imagine that many of you are not, despite having an interest in tracing your family history in Sussex. Over the last two months I have made extensive use of some of the services offered by SFHG and their members, and would like to publicly thank Brian Cutler (Baptisms Index), Christine Payne (Tombstones and Buriels Index), Judy Excell (Sussex People Index), Michael Hayes (Baptisms Index), Dennis Plank (Settlement Certificates) and Andy Hedgcock (Settlement Certificates) for the amount of time they have taken in providing me with information that has enabled me to progress my research into my PAGE ancestry in central East Sussex. In the cases of Brian Cutler and Christine Payne, the amount of time they have spent has been very considerable. If you have not yet made use of some of these services, then I urge you to consider doing so, especially if you are unable to visit the East Sussex Record Office in Lewes. The amount of information contained in the indexes is immense. Finally, if you are not yet a member of SFHG, then I strongly urge you to consider joining, and thereby making a small return for the services offered by the Group. The SFHG web-site is at <http://www.sfhg.org.uk/> and I consider my annual subscription of only £11 (£13 for overseas members) to be the best value for the money I spend on genealogy. Chris Page
