As I haven't posted here for a while, I thought it would be useful to re-post my interests. 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. Kind regards, Jacqui
