Sussex Family Historian, vol. 22 no. 1, edited by Sharon Paskins, published March 2016 (pp.2-48, Sussex Family History Group, ISSN: 0260-4175) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509161]

The Sussex Baptism Index, by Brian Cutler, published March 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 1, article, pp.3-4) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509161]

One of the important contributions that family history societies are making in the world of genealogical research is the systematic transcription and indexing of early vital records. Exploring original records is fun and rewarding if you have a good idea of where your ancestors came from but sooner or later every family historian needs to find out about an ancestor for whom they have little clue where to look. Indexes, such as the SFHG Marriage, Burial or Baptism Indexes or the more recent Sussex People and Will Indexes, can help to point the researcher in the right direction.
The Sussex Baptism Index was started by my predecessor, the late John Lee, in 1998 and has now grown to have over 1.6M entries. The aim is to capture all the surviving baptismal and other birth related records for the whole of Sussex from 1537 to 1900. It is the work of over 150 volunteers, both members of the group and of the Parish Register Transcription Society, who over the years have inputted data from existing transcripts and transcribed from original documents.

The Mystery Solved, by William R. Green, published March 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 1, article, pp.4-7) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509161]

In the March, 2012 (v. 20, no. 1) issue of the Sussex Family Historian I wrote a piece concerning the ancestors of the FOWLE family who's senior branch were to become the first residents of Riverhall. My topic had to do particularly with the father of William FOWLE, a prominent resident of Rotherfield whose son had built Riverhall in 1599. William was one of the wealthiest residents of Rotherfield, holding both copyhold and freehold rights to significant lands throughout Rotherfield Hundred at his death in 1566. William of Rotherfield is first referenced in 1524 in the important position of Church Warden for St. Deny's. Pullein reports that he had married Margaret GODIVE (most likely GODINE, the sole heir of Richard GODINE). The marriage is speculated to have taken place c1520. These events suggest that William was born c1497.

SFHG My Tree, by Brian Eaton, published March 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 1, article, pp.9-10) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509161]

Submitting Your Family History To The SFHG
I thought that I had better introduce myself to you all. Following Mick's request in the last issue of SFH I volunteered to take on the role of the SFHG family tree co-ordinator. Although I started my working life as a research and development engineer I spent the last fifteen to twenty years of my working life in IT, part of my responsibility being IT security. I have been researching my own and my wife's family history for about 20 years and built up a considerable amount of information about my ancestors and their siblings and it goes back into the seventeenth century. The future of my research does worry me, possibly my son, who is interested in history, is likely to want to keep the information I have which includes a lot of family photographs. This has made me think about the long term future of many people's research which is why I took on this role.

Sussex Assizes 1625-1800, by Michael J. Burchall, published March 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 1, article, pp.10-14) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509161]

In the 1930s William ALBERY (1864-1950) of Horsham made copious extracts from the Sussex Assize records 1560-1800 in the then Public Record Office, London. He made use of these extracts in compiling his Millennium of Facts of The History of Horsham and Sussex 947-1947 which he finished in 1939 but owing to the Second World War this was not published until early in 1947. He used the war years to bring his original work up to date, finding a Saxon charter of 947 that enabled him to write a selective history of Horsham covering a thousand years. ALBERY's 270 pages of notes were typewritten in two copies: one remains in Horsham Museum and the other was given in January 1946 to Brighton Reference Library and has now passed to East Sussex Record Office. It is this latter copy which has been used to make this present work.

Sussex Burial Index, by Andrew Barnes, published March 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 1, article, p.17) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509161]

The Sussex Burials Index is an index of burials that have taken place in the parish church and Non-Conformist burial grounds of Sussex over the period 1538 - 1900 (inclusive). It currently has more than 900,000 entries. Searches of the index can be carried out by SFHG members through the Tombstones and Burials Index page on the SFHG website, and there is also a copy of the index in the SFHG Family Research History Centre and Library at the Keep.

Great Grandmother's Secrets Revealed!, by Geoffrey Barber, published March 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 1, article, pp.17-19) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509161]

I have realised for some time now that the most personal and therefore most valuable family history material has come not from looking back but from looking forward to find living descendants. It is the information and artefacts that they inherited (and which you didn't!) which can greatly expand your understanding of the family. It may simply be photographs (I had none of my great-grandmother) or it may be some very valuable information.
One of the most useful tools for finding living descendants is the huge number of personal family trees on sites such as www.ancestry.co.uk. For those who participate in DNA genealogy research the database of your DNA matches on sites such as www.familytreeDNA.com is another. I also choose to publicise my family tree on my own website www.nynne.org which serves to draw in previously unknown relatives. It was via my own website that I was contacted in 2013 with a rather unusual request. A person emailed me saying that he was looking to take over the 100 year lease on his great-grandfather Harry FINLEY's grave in Portslade as it had about 20 years left on it and could therefore still be used. The only problem was that my great-grandmother Annie Mary TAYLOR (1872-1953) was the registered owner and he had no idea who she was - she certainly wasn't part of his family! He had tracked me down by searching on her name and finding my web site.

The Tombstones Project, by Christine Payne, published March 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 1, article, p.20) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509161]

The Tombstones Project has been slowing down and we could use volunteers to do some leg work. In the past the transcribing took lots of people and lots of work but the advent of the digital camera has changed all that.

Salt Lake During WW1, by Susan Martin, published March 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 1, article, pp.20-24) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509161]

Lancing seems to have been a relatively crime free village. Certain crimes were war related. There were several prosecutions for having an unobscured light, particularly on householders along the seafront. One of those was a JP caught with a light showing at 10.10pm.

The Dialect of our Sussex Ancestors, by Dr Graeme Davis, published March 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 1, article, pp.25-30) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509161]

Our Sussex ancestors spoke with a Sussex dialect. This is a part of their everyday life we can seek to understand, and additionally, information about their manner of pronouncing names may even help us trace records of them. Today the Sussex dialect is effectively extinct. There are a very few people whose speech retains a Sussex accent (the sound-system of Sussex). The place names around us are full of Sussex words: down (chalk hill), dean (down-land valley), bostal (steep, down-land footpath). A handful of genuine Sussex words may be used in some people's speech. Most Sussex born-and-bred residents today speak not Sussex but Standard English. This Standard English may have a regional twist, but this local identity frequently comes as much from the general South-Eastern Home Counties English of the polo-mint around London as from Sussex. Many in Sussex like to add the occasional Sussex word as an expression of their self-identity as Sussex people. For example twitten (an alleyway between two hedges or walls) has become popular in recent years. It is indeed genuine Sussex, but it had all but died out by the mid nineteenth century and was deliberately revived in 1957, at first by Brighton Council and subsequently elsewhere in Sussex. Many today make a conscious decision to speak not of an alley but rather of a twitten. Save for a very few survivals and revivals, Sussex is dead.

Why Y-DNA?, by Jacqueline Bell, published March 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 1, article, pp.32-33) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509161]

If DNA testing works for a Plantagenet king, then it could work for you too. Although it was mitochondrial DNA that finally proved decisive in Richard III's case, while for me, it is my father's Y-DNA test results that have prompted me to write this article.
The DEWDNEY (and its main variant, DUDNEY) surname is an extremely unusual one. The last estimate I found stated there were fewer than 500 on the UK electoral roll, and there are more in the UK than elsewhere.

Royal Naval Deaths in the First World War, by Dominic Harper, published March 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 1, article, pp.34-35) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509161]

The primary source for Royal Navy deaths in the First World War is the Commonwealth War Graves Commission web site (CWGC). Another source is the War Graves Roll, a set of documents held at TNA, Kew, ref ADM 242/7 to 10. This set can provide information in addition to that available on the CWGC web site. These documents, although large, (16 inches by 14 inches) are easy to read and use, as they are typed and arranged in alphabetical order. In addition there are the individual service records. Also, for the loss of larger ships, there are separate casualty books (ADM 116 series).

Jester, Lester or Tester, by Trevor Cooper, published March 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 1, article, pp.36-37) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509161]

I was always disappointed that my grandmother's family hit one of those 'brick walls' that you can't seem to get round or through. It left a short, though respectable branch on the family tree; it reached back to a Henry TESTER of hitherto unknown origin, who was father to my ancestor born in 1817 in Kent, and stopped there. I have spent a lot of time (40 years) trying to crack this one with persistence (admittedly, on and very off). Last year I managed it, and it has unlocked a lot more than just finding when and where Henry was born.

Possible Origins of the Boniface's, by Hugh Boniface, published March 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 1, article, pp.37-40) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509161]

The name BONIFACE comes mainly from four localities in Sussex. These are: mid Sussex around Woodmancote and Henfield, East Sussex near Eastbourne, South West Sussex near Chichester ad North West Sussex near Midhurst. This last area includes the parishes of Midhurst, Woolavington, Easebourne, Cocking, Heyshott, Bepton, Treyford with Didling, Chithurst, Iping, Rogate and Trotton with Milland in Sussex, and over the Hampshire border: Headley, Bramshott, Liss and Petersfield.

The Bicknell's of Barcombe Part 3, by Martyn Webster, published March 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 1, article, p.40) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509161]

The truly remarkable memoirs of Algernon Sidney BICKNELL deposited at The Keep which have been evaluated in parts 1 & 2 of this account are of such a scale and minute detail of description that it would take many a long day for anyone to properly absorb them all in one reading, or indeed more than one reading.
. . .
The last words must therefore rest probably with the best evaluator there ever will be in the person of A.S.BICKNELL's eldest son and heir Maldion, taking the form of copious manuscript notes at the end of the memoir upon the death of the subject. It is very clear that he wanted to get a lot off his chest and what is reproduced here is but an expurgated version. Father and son despite their many differences nonetheless lie buried beside each other in Barcombe churchyard.

Great Uncle Thomas, by Valerie Bolton, published June 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 2, article, pp.51-55) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509232]

My research into my grandfather, Henry HOLMAN, was published in the Sussex Family Historian last March. I wanted to turn to my mother's side, but decided I would quickly investigate Great Uncle Thomas, Henry's older brother, in case anything turned up - and I quickly found myself re-engrossed in the HOLMANs. Thomas was born on 9 January 1856 and died 31 December 1915. He was born, as were all 10 children, in Rose Cottages, Hurstpierpoint, to Walter HOLMAN, a brick maker, and Susanna PELLING (Eliza in the censuses), and he was three years older than my grandfather Henry.

The Other Wilds, by Susan Martin, published June 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 2, article, pp.57-58) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509232]

If your family lived in a village (or town) where there are a number of people with the same surname (and often the same first names too) then it is usually necessary to research several lines, and what you discover can be very rewarding even if you are getting rather distant from your immediate line. This was the situation I was faced with the WILDs in Harting. Between 1784 and 1794 eight babies were baptised with parents John and Sarah WILD. But they weren't born to a single couple; four belonged to John WILD Jr and Sarah HALL and four to John WILD and Sarah WHEATLEY. The two Johns were first cousins, grandsons of Edward and Mary WILD. John WILD Jr was a witness to the marriage of his cousin John at St Paul's Elsted on 13 January 1787.

More about The Sussex Dialect, by Anne Capewell, published June 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 2, article, pp.59-60) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509232]

I read with interest the recent article by Dr Graeme Davis regarding the Sussex dialect (Sussex Family Historian, Volume 22 No 1, Page 25). My mother can remember many of the words (and more) being spoken at home by her parents and other family members. However we do disagree with the author on a couple of points.

John Towner: The Missing Blacksmith of Piddinghoe, by Kevin Towner, published June 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 2, article, pp.60-62) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509232]

The TOWNER surname seems to originate in a cluster of small villages around the town of Lewes in East Sussex (see the articles by Reg Towner in Sussex Family Historian vol. 8, p. 174 and vol. 13, p.266). Untangling the different TOWNER families during the period 1600-1800 is rather complicated as many individuals with identical first names lived within a relatively small area. However, the available evidence suggests that John TOWNER, my great x 6 grandfather, was most likely the eldest son of James and Ann TOWNER (née SHOULDER), born on 8 May 1701 and baptised at Chalvington St Bartholomew on 18 May 1701.

The Florances and Hollycombe School, by Janet Bettger, published June 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 2, article, pp.69-72) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509232]

Harry Edmund FLORANCE was born in 1844 in Chichester to Edmund FLORANCE Jnr and Jane READ. He had an older sister Frances and another sister Emma Sophia who was born in 1846 in Little London, Chichester. To give you a little more background I have included the following information on Harry's early days. The FLORANCEs were well established brewers of The Lion Brewery St. Pancras Chichester beginning with Christopher FLORANCE from 1773- 1818 then Edmund Snr 1818-1845 and continuing with his son William Adames Florance 1845-1869.
…
In 1867 aged 23, he married Lucy Ester LEDAMUN at St Andrews Church in Chichester and his occupation was School Master. By 1871 he and Lucy had moved to St Fagan's Schoolhouse in Aberdare Merthyr Tyfil in Wales and were certified school master and mistress. Their first child Margaret Elizabeth was born in 1867. In June 1872 Harry and Lucy took up their duties as Headmaster and Headmistress at Hollycombe School. Until then the school had been 'conducted' by uncertified Masters and Mistresses. When it was built in 1869 by Sir John Hawkshaw of Hollycombe House, in memory of his children Ada, Oliver and Mary who died of Smallpox, there were 2 classrooms and a lobby and just 32 pupils. When Harry and Lucy took over, the pupil numbers had risen to 87 (of the lower 44, 12 could read and write indifferently and 20 knew simply nothing, not even the alphabet).

Two Men called John Hobden, by Alan Hobden, published June 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 2, article, pp.72-74) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509232]

I am sure most people will agree that Ancestry is a wonderful genealogical resource, but how many of us have found glaring errors in the family trees submitted by subscribers? I suspect that some of them replicate the errors in all innocence, believing them to be correct.
One mistake I have found relates to the John HOBDEN who married Elizabeth WOOD at St Michael, Lewes, East Sussex on 30 October 1811. Many people have identified this John HOBDEN as the man who was transported to Tasmania in 1830, but the above couple baptised four more children in St Michael, Lewes, Sussex after 1830, including a son Ebenezer on 6 February 1831, and a daughter Harriet on 7 June 1835. The father's occupation in each case was given as "Builder". It seems that the reason for the mistake was the apparent lack of an alternative baptism of a John HOBDEN around 1790, but I managed to find one that had been "hidden" because of a transcription error. To explain this properly, I need to tell you more about the John who was sent to Tasmania.

A Falmer and Stanmer mystery solved, by Bernard Wilson, published June 2016 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 22 no. 2, article, pp.75-79) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15860] & The Keep [LIB/509232]

Because the holdings in East Chiltington needed help but could not afford to employ, they used the services of the Guardianship Society. For years I have wondered what it was and who ran it. It was originally founded by a lady called Grace EYRE who was born in Brighton on 24th February 1864.

Reading Janet Wilkins item 'Asylum For Granny' in the March 2016 Sussex Family Historian reminded me of a story in my family history concerning my great aunt. She was the fifth child (third daughter) of the ten children of my paternal great grandparents. She was born on 4th May 1884 at Cleman's Hatch and baptised (probably at the Ridge Chapel) on 22nd June 1884. She was the only one of those ten children I did not know as she died before I was born.
