Preview:One of my maternal great-grandmothers was Mary Ann Elizabeth KENWARD, born in Burstow, Surrey in 1862 where she was buried in 1947. Although her immediate family was all from Surrey her roots were in Sussex. Her grandfather, Josiah KENWARD was christened in Fletching on 4 June 1775, one of at least 13 children born to Richard and Ann KENWARD. Sometime between the christening of Daniel KENWARD on 21 January 1780 in Fletching and the christening of Sarah KENWARD on 2 December 1781, Richard and Ann moved from Fletching to Lingfield. He was described as a fanner in his will and was probably the tenant at Felcourt Farm in Lingfield where his eldest surviving son, Richard was farming in 1841. Richard's ancestors had lived in Fletching since at least 1606 and can be accurately traced to another Richard KENWARD who married Joan ALLCHIN in Rotherfield on 8 May 1581. Less certain is the identification of this Richard as one christened in neighbouring Framfield on 11 February 1542/3 and possibly a descendent of the Robert KENWARD who died there in 1539 as discussed below.
