Preview:The Sussex connection is somewhat tenuous but this tale may help someone starting to research their family history. Puzzles like this are. I think, on a par with cracking a cryptic crossword clue.
James William HANNINGTON was my grandfather's cousin. His mother Sarah Ann BLACKMAN was born in Harting, Sussex but after her marriage to James HARRINGTON she moved to Brighton, then Reading where James was born in 1873 and finally the family settled in Wokingham, Berkshire. On the 1901 census James was living in East Hampstead, Wokingham with his wife Henrietta aged 31 born Hurst, Berkshire and daughter Florence aged five. Hurst is a parish four miles from Wokingham. James's younger brother Frederick HANNINGTON was living with them, and he and James were both bricklayer's labourers.
I wished to find out Henrietta's maiden name . . .
