Hi,
Last night I was looking at the census details for my great x4 grandmother, Rosina Tedham (born 1789 Brightling) when I discovered that in 1841/51 and 61 she was living at the Dog House/Farm. In 1861 she was living with her son Robert and her granddaughter Margaret Bourner.
As she died in 1877 I have been trying to find her on the 1871 census but with no luck and was wondering if anybody else could come up with anything.
The reason I am curious is because my dad was born at one of the houses at the dog house. There is only one house now, but there used to be two.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Paula
Ancestry have a "Rosannah Fulham" listed in 1871, but looking at the image, it is much more likely to be Tedham.
The reference details are: RG10/1045 Folio 20 Page 4
The town was Rushlake Green, but the address is indecipherable.
She was listed as aged 82 and listed as born in Warbleton, and was living with her 40 year old son Robert, who was a gardener.
Hope this helps

Hi Paula and Glen
I have just had a look at the 1871 entry and I think she is ditto to Foulmile a couple of entries above.
Foulmile is on the road south between Rushlake Green and Cowbeech and funnily enough I have just driven down it an hour ago on my way home!
Kerry
Modified - sorry I mislead it says Foulmile and the next entry says Dog and then ditto for next entry and then again ditto for Rosannah Fulham, so it is ditto to Dog.

Hi to you both
Thank you very much for your help, it is much appreciated. I had looked through the census and failed to find the Dog House, I think because of the ditto. Sometimes when you have been looking at the screen for a while the images blur.
It is definitely her, when I told my dad that there had been a member of the family living in the house where he was born that long ago he way really surprised. All his brothers and sisters were born there and he lived there until he was a teenager so it was a really interesting find for me.
Thank you both once again.

I notice that you have Harmer's in your tree. They appear in my tree, although quite far back, the first one I come to is Mary Harmer (1764) who married Samuel Burchett they were my gx4 grandparents.

Hi Paula
I don't have her on my tree, do you know who her parents were or where she was born?
My Harmers at that time were in Wableton and Heathfield.

Hi
Her parents were William Harmer (1701 Chiddingly) and Ann Buckwell (1718 Herstmonceux). Their children included Mary and several siblings all born in Herstmonceux.
I remember a girl at school called Harmer and since doing my family history I have often wondered if I was related to her. I have discovered a link with someone else I was at school with (share the same gx3 grandparents), it's a small world isn't it. I wished I still lived down that way, it would be easier for carrying out any research.

Hi Paula
I shall keep a record of those names just in case I find a link, I bet they are linked to my line somewhere. This part of the world seems to be full of Harmers and everytime I see one I think I must be related to you!

i have both Harmers & Burchetts in my tree, again the connection is distant.

Hello Paula
My Gt GrandmotherX4 was Rosina Tedham nee Russell Born circa 1788 Died 1877
Her Daughter was Caroline Piper nee Tedham
Her Daughter was Selina Balchin nee Piper
Her Daughter was Frances Worsfold nee Balchin
I have found a photograph on a website that I remember from My Gt Aunt Ada Emma Lynch's House nee Worsfold
It is 5 generations at Ada Emma Worsfolds Christening in 1974/75 at Westcott Surrey & Rosina Tedham is in it
My Grandmother was a younger sister of Ada Emma Lynch

Hi plainjane
I take it that Rosina is the one on the right. Caroline Tedham's daughter Harriett was my Gx2 grandmother. What was the website called that you got the photo from?
Thank you for sharing the photo with me as I have not been fortunate in obtaining any photos of my family.

Hi Paula
Rosina is the one on the right
Harriet must have been a sister of Selina Piper my GT Gt Grandmother
The photo/photos are on The Burrell family Surrey website but the information is incorrect in naming Rosina as Mary King as she died much earlier also the baby is named as Ada Daisy my Gt Aunts daughter born in 1900 but that is also incorrect
My Gt Aunt was born in 1874-1950 Mother Frances 1851-1918 Selina Piper 1828-1909 Caroline 1810-1902 Rosina 1788-1877
Photograph taken 1874/5 so all were alive then

Hi plainjane,
If the website names her as Mary King, how do you know that it is Rosina Tedham nee Russell?
Paula

Hi Paula
My brother & another relative who have researched the Balchin family history
which I am part of have copies of Mary kings death certificate & she had died at the age of 54
I was in my 10th year when my Gt Aunt Ada Emma Lynch nee Worsfold died & I remember discussing the family photograph with her & she definitely was the baby in the photograph not her daughter Ada Daisy as the Burrell website suggests
Contact the Balchin family through the website
Its frustrating I cannot give you a name here
But I maintain the people in the photograph are baby Ada Emma Lynch nee Worsfold Mother Frances Worsfold nee Balchin holding Ada Emma
Grandmother Selina Balchin nee Piper ,Standing

Hi Paula,
My Great 4x grand mother was Rosina Tedham her eldest daugher Maria married my great 3 x grandfather Samuel Beeney. Maria doesn,t seem to be on the Tedham family trees. Do you have all of Rosina's children with Maria on your tree. I will have to look up her christening date.
Thanks Michael.
-
Beeney's and variants from Ashburnham i have them
-
Hi Toni ,
Many thanks for the offer ,i already have them .
thank you. Michael

Toni-- I am also related to the Beeney family from Ashburnham and noticed your signature about the SMA. I live in the U.S. My line is Samuel Beeney-James-Frederick-Charles-etc. My sister died from Werdnig-Hoffman disease, a type of SMA. I was just wondering if someone in your Beeney line had it. Maybe the gene comes from that line? if so, I'm very sorry to hear it.

Good evening,
That is definately Rosina Tedham on the right of the photo, she is my 3xggrandmother. Married to John Tedham and they had 10 children. The eldest was Mary Ann not Maria, she married Thomas Bennett, possibly why she can't be found on the census, I have the 2nd as Carrolina but that is her on the left. Robert was the 5th and Rosina is shown on the 1871 as living with him at Dog house, he is a batchelor and gardener. On the previous 2 he is shown as a collector of chickens. The spelling of names seems to be very haphazard over the different census' especialy Rosina's name. All my family on my mothers side have come from the area of Hurstmoncuex, Bodle st, Warbleton, Bexhill etc etc. My mother was born in Buckwell cottage so may be a connection with Ann Buckwell's family.

Hi, Rosina's maiden name was RUSSELL. She was the daughter of John Russell and Mary Young, married at Frant 1779. John was born 1757, the son of William Russell (bn 1736) and Sarah Hover, married Ticehurst 1757. John's brother William (bn 1759) was my ggggg grandfather :-). The family is pretty well recorded in Burwash history. Regards, David Taylor

Just out of interest I thought I would put this old photo in the thread. This is a photo of the Dog House, Rushlake Green, it used to stand in front of Dog Cottage which is the house that is still there. This one got demolished due to it being not fit for purpose and my Nan was moved with the family to Back Lane, Rushlake Green.
