A bit of detail on my Sussex surnames with a couple of specific requests to follow as my original message was too long to be posted (3rd time lucky I hope): DEWDNEY & DUDNEY (also DEWNEY, DUNEY, DUNY etc) The same bunch from primarily Shermanbury / Henfield as Phil White's. KNAPP Thomas KNAPP b. cir 1783 in Carshalton, Surrey, probably the one bap. 23 Aug 1783 son of Charles & Sarah. Married Mary MASON in Twineham 1806 (thanks again MW!) and had 9 children born in Twineham or Shermanbury - probably! Sons George & James had very extensive families, the latter in Woodmancote. HEASMAN James b. cir 1790 Ardingly (IGI has 2 of this name baptised that year...) married Mary LUNN in Henfield in 1816. They had 6 children. Am I likely to find a newspaper or coroner's report on the suicide of Alfred HEASMAN in Henfield in 1881? Apparently he drowned himself & an inquest was heard. BANFIELD One of the large families in Ashurst / Woodmancote (do the various families link up?), currently headed by William who m. Mary GROVER 1733. WELLING Sarah bap 1794 Upper Beeding, dau of William WELLING & Ann GODDARD, both b. Upper Beeding. RICHARDSON - Ann m. John DUDNEY 1787 in Hurstpierpoint, d. 1789 Shermanbury. Don't know anything more about her. Also: Sarah COBBEY b cir 1738 possibly W. Chiltington m. William "DUSNEY" 1763 W Grinstead. Ann GIBBS, dau of Thomas GIBBS & Jane BLUNDEN, m1. Philip NAYLARD m2. William DUDNEY 1732/3 Cowfold.

Thanks Diane. Thomas was the brother of my 5x g gf John DUDNEY (bap as DUSNEY in W Grinstead in 1763) - but it's always helpful to have other corroboration of events. Most of the LEPPARDs and NAILARDs you refer to were also related to each other. Small villages are great!!! Thanks again, Jacqui

Jacqui Thomas Dudney's wife, Martha Attree, was the oldest sister of my children's ggg grandfather Thomas Attree b1799 Cowfold. Thank you for the additional information about Thomas. Much appreciated. Small villages are great, I agree.
