Hi Nivard, Quite possibly but none of the maps name any buildings other than the vicarage. Also looking at the later maps the road seems to have been redeveloped in the 70s so I am not sure if any of the current building is the original. Unfortunately I cannot find any old photos online.

Hi David The 1911 is somewhat different to the previous census It is perhaps the best for your sort of enquiry although not without its problems The 1911 has enumerators summaries (RG78) separate to the household schedules (RG14), these list in more detail than other previous enumerators descriptions which generally only describe the roads/streets etc I will assume you have Ancestry but findmypast also have the RG78's but in a slightly different way (although I am struggling to find them on findmypast under their new search) If you search for CRIPPS (no first name as they are not recorded in the summaries) and Arcana Worthing you should find the 1911 summary It will show house by house the route taken by the enumerator Look for prominent buildings to gauge where yours might be, you will find Arcana Next door to Trinity Vicarage with Rev HOLLIS living there, the vicarage is likely to be easier to find than Arcana which may have been renamed or demolished since 1911 If you list the properties in the 1911 summary you may be able to find one or more surviving The next road name is Shakespear Road, next to that Winchester Road this already gives you the area the address you seek will be in Page back from the summary with Arcana and you will find a written description Using street view on Shelley road you will find many buildings appear to be much more recent than 1911 I noticed a Corvill Court there, what looks to be a modern block of flats, in 1911 a few doors down from Arcana is a property called "Corvil" There are some older buildings but not many as far as I can see You might also check with the local studies of the area (try the nearest library) to see if the electoral rolls are available, they would list by address Good luck Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 28/04/2014 04:23, David Cripps wrote: > Hi Listers, > > I'm interested in an old house that would very likely still be > standing in Shelley Road, Worthing. > > It was called Arcana, and for a long while the residence of Frederick > Cripps the Tailor who had a shop and Mens Outfitter in 4 South street, > Worthing. > > Frederick died at Arcana on 25th March 1916. > > It's really only just occurred to me that the house is probably still > standing, and I wondered if anybody was taking a stroll in that > direction whether they could keep a look-out for me and if my luck > holds I'd dearly love a photo. > > > Thanks > David Cripps in Tasmania
Hi David, Looking at the Worthing and District Local Directory 1914/15 (available here http://cdm16445.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/compoundobject/collection/p16445coll4/id/339963/rec/6) Arcana could have been on the corner of Shakespeare Road on the side of Tennyson Road (assuming that the description is written as if you are walking down Shelley Road). Looking at Google maps it is possible that the building is still there - it doesn't look like a brand new building. According to www.old-maps.co.uk the plot was vacant in 1898 but was occupied by a vicarage in 1912.

David, If you get a street number from 1911 census, you can then plug that into Google Maps and use Street View to get your picture. Peter
Hi Listers, I'm interested in an old house that would very likely still be standing in Shelley Road, Worthing. It was called Arcana, and for a long while the residence of Frederick Cripps the Tailor who had a shop and Mens Outfitter in 4 South street, Worthing. Frederick died at Arcana on 25th March 1916. It's really only just occurred to me that the house is probably still standing, and I wondered if anybody was taking a stroll in that direction whether they could keep a look-out for me and if my luck holds I'd dearly love a photo. Thanks David Cripps in Tasmania -- David Cripps, Tasmania <cripps@netspace.net.au>
Greetings Listers I have just found a note that Thomas DANIEL (my 2 x ggf) was made a Freeman of Hastings on 6 December, but I haven't recorded the year! The fee he paid was 40 shillings. Tom was the Licensee of the Anchor Inn in George Street in Hastings from 1805 until his retirement in 1840 (and owner of the premises until his death), so I'm guessing that it was in this period and later rather than sooner as he was only in his late 20s in 1805. Is there a list of the Freemen of Hastings which would give me the year please? Many thanks. Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia
CRAWLEY Parish Register Research Request: William Streeter, b. 1710-1715; m. 1730-1742 My article, Streeter Immigrants of Greene and Steuben Counties: The Common Origins of Elizabeth (Streeter) Faulkner, Thomas Streeter, and William Streeter, at Dunnings Farm, East Grinstead, Sussex, England, (The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, 142(2011):47-61; 117-132) is freely available as www.perrystreeter.com/streeter.pdf. Here is an excerpt to provide the context for the request I making further below. START QUOTE >> William-A Streeter/Streater was born in England about 1713 (age 64 in 1777 deposition), was buried in East Grinstead, Sussex, England, 1 October 1787, and married say 1741 (first-known child christened 1742) Ann [?], who was born say 17181723 (estimated marriage). She was probably Ann Wife of William Streater buried in East Grinstead 23 February 1784. William arrived in East Grinstead and assumed occupancy of Dunnings Farm about 1737. He was probably the son of Richard Streeter, who was buried in East Grinstead 15 December 1764, and Elizabeth [?], who was buried in East Grinstead 2 November 1760 as wife of Richard. If they were the parents of William born about 1713, they were married say 1712 or earlier. Richard was first documented in East Grinstead in a 1747 tax list in which his proposed son William-A does not appear. It is likely that, as Williams probable father, Richard also arrived in East Grinstead about 1737. Where the Streeters of Dunnings Farm resided prior to their arrival in East Grinstead is unknown, but they may be the family that was recorded earlier at Charlwood, Surrey. Richard Streator and Elizabeth Humphrey were married in Charlwood 10 October 1708 and had seven children christened there between 1710 and 1724: John, Elizabeth, William, Ann, Sarah, Richard, and Thomas. With the exception of William (baptized 5 March 1714/15 as the son of Richard Streeter) all of the sons died in infancy. If William-A Streeter of Dunnings Farm was the son of Richard and Elizabeth (Humphrey) Streeter christened at Charlwood, then aside from naming his eldest son after himself, he named his sons following the birth order of his deceased brothers. << END QUOTE Unfortunately, the publication of my article has not prompted anyone to provide any corrections or additions. While I still think it is likely that William-A Streeter of Dunnings Farm, East Grinstead, Sussex was identical with William, the son of Richard Streeter, baptized in Charlwood, Surrey on 5 March 1714/15, I am seeking additional evidence to confirm or refute this identification by seeking other potential matches for William in an even wider circle of parishes than has been previously researched. While digital images of many parish registers are online at FamilySearch.org, others are not, including some parishes within approximately 10 miles of East Grinstead. CRAWLEY PARISH REGISTER RESEARCH REQUEST: William Streeter, b. 1710-1715; m. 1730-1742 Bearing in mind the possibilities that William Streeters father may *not* have been named Richard and that Ann may *not* have been William Streeters first wife, would some kind soul please review the parish registers for any entries like the following? * Baptism of William Streater, Streeter, etc. between 1710 and 1715 * Marriage of William Streater, Streeter, etc. between 1730 and 1742 Of course, any other corrections or additions to my article would also be greatly appreciated! Please feel free to forward this message to other lists and individuals who may be able to provide assistance. This message will be resent/reposted over time, with the focus shifting to each of the parishes listed below, one-by-one.

Hi Pam ... there could be some doubt that the records then were so early in the recognition of surnames particularly where the letter 'W' is concerned. I belong to the school that believes it was an almost silent sound like the almost silent (breath like) sound of the French word 'Voila'. It is quite possible that the name may have been 'TUTT' or 'TUIT' or similar see here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W Joe -----Original Message----- From: Mary Connaughton Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2014 1:38 AM To: 'PMR' ; 'SSX-PLUS Mailing List' ; 'SFHG Mailing List' Subject: Re: [SFHG] Margaret TWITT, widow - what was her maiden name? Hello Pam, The two different dates in the lists generally mean 1) the date when the will was written 2) the date of Probate The dates you have are correct and this is the reference in the Lewes Index : Book A10 Index page (I think...) 12 Date 1596 Page 229 Compared to Chichester indexes, Lewes wills are complicated (at least I think so...) Richard's will was drafted on 26 February, year not mentioned Probate was 7 Dec 1596 The Will is on microfilm and I'm sure you could order a copy from ESRO. If you're not in a hurry, I could look it up for you on 6th May when I'll be going to the National Archives in England where the LDS have their base for the moment, and the film is there. The probate is quite late as he was buried on 4th July 1596 and lived in a place called Boreham somewhere in Wartling or thereabouts...

Greetings Listers On 12 Sep 1597, Margaret TWITT, widow, married Simon REEVE (transcribed in Sussex Marriage Index as KEENE - understandable with old writing) in St Mary Magdalene's Church in Wartling in Sussex. On 4 Jul 1596, Richard TWITT (father of 3 sons baptised in 1585/6, 1588 and 1591) was buried at the same Church. Probate for him is listed as follows: Text: Twitt, Richard, Wartling, --: 26 Feb , 07 Dec 1596 12-229 Name: Twitt, Richard Dates: 26 Feb Place: Wartling, Sussex, England Book: Register 3.

I don't understand why there are two dates - 26 Feb (no year given) and 7 Dec 1596. It seems possible that Margaret TWITT, widow, was the widow of Richard. Their marriage would have been somewhere around 1585 going by the first baptism available. My quest is for the maiden name of Margaret through the possible marriage of Richard and Margaret (if indeed they were a couple). I'm descended from Margaret and her second husband (8xggps). I would then be interested in finding Margaret's baptism. I can't find a marriage on the SMI, so the only thing I can think of is: does the above reference refer to a Will or only an Admon. If a Will, there is an outside chance that a brother-in-law was mentioned and a more certain chance that Richard mentions 'my dear wife' by name. If the reference is to a Will, would it be at ESRO? I checked through A2A but couldn't find a reference. Can I do an online check of records at The Keep? I'm floundering a bit in the dark here so would appreciate some helpful advice. Many thanks.

Yes. thankyou Katie, So readable. I too was so pleased to read all about it and have questions answered when one doesnt always have the expertise to know the right questions to ask or understand the process etc. I guess I was thinking someone else with the same or similar family tree names would magically appear and we could compare notes, or at very best would say I have the same or similar DNA as some historical figure !! I have done so much factual research but havent considered the wider picture. Thanks again.

Absolutely fascinating Katie - thank you for taking the time to explain the ins and out of testing. I believe that some 'off-topic' subjects are actually of interest to us all. I'm very tempted now! all the best Anne > > Exploring genetic genealogy through DNA testing is infinitely fascinating > but you do NOT get it on a plate! > > Katie de Haan >
Phil, Eileen and list, I'm a beginner at genetic genealogy but I've been working on mine for a couple of years now. With what I've found out, firsthand and from following online lists and groups and seminars, I may be able to point you in the right direction to where you can find out more. I'll mention a few things of more general interest in this mail (if List Admin approves) and, if you have more questions, I can try to answer them, but maybe off list, as this is not Sussex-related and I am only following one family that passed through the county. Exploring genetic genealogy through DNA testing is infinitely fascinating but you do NOT get it on a plate! It helps to be aware of this from the start. Test prices are lower than they were, but a lot of hard work is still needed to make progress. When your results come in, you need to be willing to undertake as much work as in traditional paper trail genealogy - and then some - and no guarantees you will find the gold nuggets. But the journey itself can be fascinating. Before starting out, it is wise to determine your goals, so that you can choose the appropriate test(s) for your purposes, which DNA company to use, and who to test. (Do you only want to know where your father's name and ancestors were in the Middle Ages? Do you want to know where your mother's maternal ancestors were 13,000 years ago? Or do you want to find out more about ALL your family history in the past few hundred years? For each of these, different tests are appropriate.) If you have already tested and are baffled by results, there are things you can do to find out more. After that, much study will be required to make sense of your results and use them to find your relations, near and far. That said, I find even the initial results from some tests give insights into a side of your heritage you probably knew nothing about. It has made me take a whole new look at world geography and history, especially the USA and Canada, which is quite something considering I was born in London UK, and spent most of my adult life in The Netherlands. My ancestry is North West European, so it was a real eye-opener to find how many distant cousins I have in the Americas, particularly the Eastern seaboard and the Southern States! I mean, most of us agree in theory that we all go back to a few mutual ancestors, but it's really weird seeing this in practice, and finding out how many people in faraway places are related to me in or just beyond a genealogical time frame. It may turn out that your fifth great grandfather's youngest brother, that you 'assumed' died in infancy when you found nor more records for him, in fact crossed the ocean where his descendants match up with you today! The current most-used tests are those for y-DNA, mtDNA and AUTOSOMAL DNA. y-DNA test: shows MEN only their direct paternal male line back: so only your father's father's father's father etc. The y-test can only be done on men, so only of use to a woman with a known brother or male cousin. mtDNA test: shows men AND women only their direct maternal line going back: your mother's mother's mother's mother etc. A mother passes it to all her children, but only the daughters can pass it on. AUTOSOMAL DNA test: can tell you about relations from ALL your family lines. Your matches in the autosomal test may be from ANY of your family lines, over the last two or three hundred years! However, the catch is that it is rarely obvious WHICH line they are from. If you are lucky and persevere, you may find out where the connection is, what relation your match is to you. The idea then is that you and your match communicate, sharing and comparing information from your family trees, names and places, trying to see where the branches of your trees connect. Sometimes, a common family location may be more helpful than a shared name. This means that both you and your matches need to have extensive trees say six to ten generations back, if you are going to look at each other's trees and have an instant recognition like 'bingo!' hey, I see our 6 x great grandfathers were likely brothers! And of course most of us have gaps in our trees. Sometimes distant cousins look closer than they are, because they come from endogamous populations with much cousin intermarriage in the past. So you and your match may share segments of DNA that look like 3rd to 5th cousin, while the link may in fact be generations further back. These gold nuggets are rare but oh so coveted. So the y-DNA and mtDNA tests each only tell you about ONE line in your family history, going back thousands of years into your deep ancestry. Fascinating, but little help with brick walls in your genealogy paper trail. And nothing about, say, the lines of all your 16 great great grandparents! Autosomal DNA matches can be from ALL your lines. Generally speaking, it is said that autosomal matches are over the last five generations, or about 125 years, and one DNA company advertises with this. What they mean is that those will definitely show up. Further back segments are more random. In practice, it turns out that many of our matches are further back than indicated. Up to 2nd cousins, you will almost certainly visibly share DNA with your family. Large enough to show up in the autosomal test. Further back than that, however, there is no guarantee that a shared DNA segment will show up. So you may know a 3rd or 4th cousin in your paper trail, but there is no guarantee that he will show up in your list of matches. (So you and many of your distant cousins may have inherited 7 x great grandpa Elijah's very special nose, but that may or may not be enough shared DNA to show up in the test.) And you can't even see at a glance which matches are from your father's side or your mother's - or maybe even both! Some people test both their parents and more cousins, which helps sort out which matches are from which side of your family, but this costs more money and is not for all of us! As I say, you don't get it on a plate, but even the initial and obvious results of genetic genealogy are very interesting. For instance, with my North Western European ancestry, mainly UK & Ireland, who would have thought that I have 6% Berber/North African/Sardinian/Basque & Saami DNA in the mix? Absolutely fascinating, to consider the trail it took. I have tested with more than one company and have well over a thousand matches that I am still avidly trying to sort out and connect. It's like an enormous jigsaw puzzle and now and then you can piece together bits of the sky or round the edges. These people in all corners of the world are ALL my relations and as time goes by I hope to find out where we all connect, but for now it's amazing just knowing who are where they are. I first tested in the hopes of finding my unknown father. In the end, and against all odds, I was lucky enough to find his name in an archive, but when I found and homed in on his family, I tested a cousin to confirm that they are my family. This meant closure, and lots of half brothers and sisters after more than 60 years. Lots of adoptees are turning to DNA testing now as well, to find their family and their heritage and there are special groups helping them on their trail, which is essential because, obviously, adoptees have little or no paper trail at all. Fortunately, there are lots of people out there more knowledgeable in the field of genetic genealogy, some of whom spend all their time helping others and designing digital tools to help us make more sense of our results, so there is hope. My apologies for a lengthy and off-topic sermon, but maybe some family historians on this list may have found it useful.

Greetings Listers I know Elizabeth I began her reign in 1558. However, I'm not quite sure which year according to our calendar that '7 Jan 12 Elizabeth' is. Is it 1570? Maybe 1571? Can someone help me please? Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia
Further to my previous posting, if you go to http://www.genproxy.co.uk/king_queen_reign_dates_regnal.htm you can enter the day, month, monarch and regnal year of an event and it will convert the data to the calendar year, including the correction from the Julian to Gregorian calendars. Best wishes, Marion Woolgar Bognor Regis, West Sussex
