Sussex Family Historian Vol.20 no.5 (March 2013) reprinted, unattributed and not quite complete, a piece under this title which I contributed to Vol.8, no.1 (March 1988). It generated a limited response from readers, some of it rather missing the point I was making, which I had probably not expressed clearly enough. It may therefore be worth revisiting in the hope of a fresh response.
