Preview:I had, for over 30 years, been puzzling over one of my mother's side of the family. There is not a Sussex connection - sorry - but maybe this lesson could be useful for other Family Historians.
I can well remember actually asking my Grandfather if he had any idea where his own Great Grandfather Jacob FLETCHER was born. He would not have met him, as he died in 1898 and granddad did not arrive on the scene until 1911, but his own father and grandfather would have known him quite well. Sadly, he had no idea, but I already knew the answer, the sleepy village of Easton Royal in Wiltshire.
