Hello list Seems like i have been barking up the wrong tree. I have recently learnt of a link with Mary Ann Chainey b c 1798. she was married in Ewhurst to Thomas Ripley on 20.10.1816. I had assumed that this was in Surry and have been looking for records to see if anyone tell me if this is whre she was born or indeed who to? I did not realise that there was a Ewhurst in Sussex so will have to Google that. Does anyone have access to marriage records for Ewhurst, Sussex to do a look up? I beleive that her father's name was John Chainey. I know that she dies in Hellingly Sussex. Any information would be gatefully received Thank you Alison _________________________________________________________________ Get free emoticon packs and customisation from Windows Live. http://www.pimpmylive.co.uk
