Hi all Alfred HEDGECOCK marries Louisa Fanny GRINYER on 10th Jul 1881 at St Peter, Brighton. Details taken from Source Citation: Place: Brighton, Sussex, England; Collection: St Peter; -; Date Range: 1876 - 1881; Film Number: 1067138, on Ancestry. Louisa's details are that she's 22, and father is William John CLARK. Alfred's death is registered in Dec 1881. I cannot find any details other than what I have here for Louisa, nor any reference to any children. No marriage of a CLARK to a GRINYER can be found. If anyone can provide any pointers for Louisa I'll be very grateful. Many thanks Andy

Hallo Jack, You are looking at written information which is 300+ years old. Language has evolved. Both Miss and Mrs are short forms of Mistress. If you think of Charles II's time women were referred to as : Mistress Nell Gwynn, Mistress Elizabeth Pepys - no indication whether married or single. My feeling was that it was the 19 C when things became separate and that does seem to be the case according to this site. http://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2011/11/what-are-mrs-and-ms-short-for/ 1702 is still in the reign of William III and 1705 is Queen Mary's time. In the 18C things were beginning to change, but this also of course goes along with literacy. Names and their spellings, began to settle with the new parish registers (early 19C, preceding obligatory registration in July 1837) If is is said that one was a spinster - then that would normally be the case. As for Mary Goffe - I have no idea! You could try to see whether there is an earlier marriage for her with a Mr Goffe who subsequently died!

In researching the above gentleman I am wondering about the marital status of the two women he married. According to the Sussex Marriage Index he married Mary Goffe, "Mrs." in 1702, and then in 1705 he married Mary Scrace," Mrs.". However when I search the index for the spouses names Mary Scrace is shown as a spinster of Westmeston, and Mary Goffe is Mrs. of Henfield. Is the" Mrs." an honourific because of their station or were both of these women widows? Thanks, Jack

Greetings Listers I found this reference on Mundia for a guy who posted information about Robert Frogbroke who died in Hastings in 1558 RobertJHamiltonOlive living in West Somerset, England, United Kingdom, If you see this, Robert (or if anyone knows Robert), I'd love to make contact as Robert Frogroke is an ancestor of mine.

Greetings Listers John FAUTLEY, or FAUTLIE (s/o William FAUTLEY and his wife Martha née PARKIN) was baptised in St Clemen'ts Hastings on 15 Feb 1611(2) - information initally from a member of the FAUTLEY family. John and his wife Margaret had at least 2 children - Margery baptised at All Saints' Hastings in 1638 and Richard also baptised at All Saints' in 1643). However, I've not been able to locate a marriage for John and Margaret. I have the SMI CD, but there's no Margaret marrying a JF. I have a note re a John FAUTLEY in a 1623 Muster, but FAUTLEY was quite a prolific name in Hastings so this may not be the same man - nor the Freeman o 31 May 1656 or a Church Warden of All Saints' around that time. Can anyone point me to this marriage please? This and any other help for this family would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia

Hi All Just to put in my tuppence worth!! I was searching for 'Joanes' in Sussex this morning. I specified Horsham, as that is where they mainly were, & bought up heaps. I've just tried again because I accidentally closed down the site. Now I can't bring up a single one having tried Horsham, Sussex nothing!! My advice is keep on trying. The new website is nowhere as consistent as the old one!!!

Hi, Just a random thought: Smith is not an uncommon surname. Perhaps there are to many -SMITH surnames for the time frame you are researching. and the system cannot handle same. Try any given name - along with the SMITH surname - and see what happens. I had found in some of my searches =some sites state to many names.
