The web site is http://www.a2a.org.uk and states: "The A2A database contains catalogues describing archives held locally in England and Wales and dating from the eighth century to the present day... A2A does not yet offer a full description of all local archives but it is regularly updated, so revisit often for newly-included catalogues!" I have searched A2A before but I recently found some new items via these searchable databases that I did not find when I visited the Archives for East Sussex and West Sussex in person several years ago! Here are some of the most interesting... First, I discovered that the birth year of my ggggg-grandfather, William STREETER, son of Richard & Elizabeth (--?--) STREETER, all of Dunnings Farm, East Grinstead, must have been about 1713... Reference: SAS-H/401 Office Copy of Depositions of Witnesses on the part of Plaintiff Creation dates: 27 Oct 1777 ... Wm. Streeter of East Grinsted, farmer, aged 64 ...which lends some evidence to support long-standing speculation that he was identical with the William STREETER christened at St. Nicholas Church, Charlwood, Surrey on 5 March 1714/15 as the son of Richard STREETER whose wife was Elizabeth HUMPHREY. The Baptist congregation to which Richard STREATER of Dunnings Farm belonged met at both Charlwood and Turners Hill in Worth, a parish adjacent to East Grinstead. Second, I discovered an association in 1685 between a Richard STREETER with family of Edward PAYNE and a Robert JENNER Worth that well preceded the STREETERS' assuming the occupancy of Dunnings Farm in East Grinstead from an unknown JENNER by 1750, Dunnings Farm belonged to and was adjacent with Saint Hill Manor, which was owned by Gibbs CRAWFURD who married a descendant of Edward PAYNE: Reference: SAS-H/406 Counterpart of Bargain and Sale Creation dates: 1 Jan 1685 By Katherine Payne of East-grinsted, spinster, to John Arnold of Westhoadly, carpenter, and Edward Payne of Eastgrinsted, gent., - for £202. 10s. - of lands called Sheppards Warnetts, containing 40 ac., with a house or cottage and barn thereon erected, in the occupation of Richard Streater, in Worth adjoining the king's highway from Crawlwy Doune to Copthorne Common, W., lands of John Harber, N., lands of Wm Delves, E. and to Crawley Doune and a field called Paddock field, S. Signature, John Arnold, and seal Witnesses:- Thomas Bodle, Robert Jenner Third, it seems likely that the Richard Streater of Sheppards Warnetts was identical with or otherwise closely related to Richard Streeter of nearby Pound Farm: Reference: SAS-F/292 Mortgage by demise Creation dates: 30 Jan 1690 By John Nicholas of Eastgrinsted, gent., to Charles Russell of Eastgrinsted, yeoman, - for £300 - of All that messuage, barns &c., farm, lands and premises called Pound Farm containing 40 ac. in Worth in the occupation of Richard Streeter bounding to the Common or Wast ground Crawlies Down, W. against lands called Cuddingly, N., to the highway from Crawlies Down to East Grinsted, S. and to lands in the occupation of Wm. Chapman, E. Signature, John Nicholas, and seal Witnesses:- Benjamin Faulconer, Edw. Head, Robt. Mathew I hope that you will have similar good luck with A2A and any additional information about any of the persons or properties named above would be greatly appreciated.
