Preview:Albert HEASMAN was born in Ticehurst on 7th October 1882 to Walter (born Bolney in 1849) and Charlotte HEASMAN (nee PARSONS). The HEASMANS had lived in Sussex for many centuries gradually migrating from west to east with Albert's direct line having been traced back to before 1500. Back in the 16/17thC, the family must have been quite wealthy as land, livestock and upmarket personal belongings were passed on in Wills. Albert's antecedents were junior members of their families and not, unfortunately, recipients of land which disappeared down other lines in the family tree. Indeed, in the late 1700's many of his ancestors were paupers.
