Title: DELVES research
Post by: sharon r on Friday 17 July 09 01:06 BST (UK)

Hi,
I am researching the DELVES family of Sussex. According to family oral information JOHN DELVES was born in Worthing 1819. I have recently found JOHN DELVES baptised on 28 March 1819 in Wartling East Sussex. I believe that this is the ancestor I have been looking for. His father was JOHN DELVES and his mother was MARY. I know for sure that there were connections with the CROUCH family of Catsfield as he immigrated with them and later married Charlotte CROUCH. Any further information about JOHN DELVES I would greatly appreciate.

Thanks

According to the Sussex Marriage Index, John Delves and Mary Thorpe (both of this parish) married by banns in Wartling 31st March 1802.  No other information.  When did he emmigrate?
