I am in the process of unravelling information on a Carey family of Ringmer. John born abt 1802 had sons which included a Charles b. abt 1839 and William b. abt 1849. I believe that their mother was Elizabeth and may have been born IOW. I have no immediate access to PR's but believe that at least the childrens bp may be recorded under South Malling. I have no idea of John's origins though they were probably local to the Lewes area.
Can anybody help with this enquiry.
regards

Their address in 1851 is Stoneham Cottages, South Malling and I think Pauline is right that he is born Alciston. It is easy to confuse that with Alfriston.
www.freebmd.org.uk may help to find the children's births post 1837. As far as I know South Malling is not covered by the IGI but when Chrisin1066land gets back from holiday he may be able to help as he has lots of records for the Lewes area. There are quite a lot of Blaber entries on the IGI for the Lewes area so if the marriage is the correct one then Elizabeth may have been visiting relatives when they met.

Edward & Sophia Carey came to farm at Broyleside Farm, Ringmer, and have a memorial in Ringmer churchyard. The farm tenancy was inherited by their grandson George Carey, son of Edward & Sophia's son Joseph Akehurst Carey, who also came to Ringmer and farmed at Turnpike Farm, The Broyle, Ringmer.
Joseph Carey was a Ringmer churchwarden but George Carey and his family became mainstays of Ringmer's Congregational Chapel.
George's granddaughter Audrey Coombes left a memoir in which she mentioned that Edward Carey married Sophia Akehurst at West Firle. She adds that Edward Carey was the son of Daniel Carey of Chiddingly.

Was very interested to see your posting about the Carey family who are my relatives on my mother's side. I've done a fair bit of research into the family and would be interested to chat to anyone else who is looking into the Ringmer Careys.

Dear Fairmeadow 2 - I'm afraid I can't respond by email until I've made 3 posts. My grandmother was Florence E Carey. She was the daughter of John and Margaret Carey. John was the son of John Carey and Elizabeth Blaber and his garndparents were Edward and Sophia. As I say I have done a fair bit of research into the family and have made some visits to the village.

Dear Sally
Most of the Ringmer CAREYs from the mid-19th century onwards descend from Joseph Akehurst CAREY, another son of Edward & Sophia, so John's brother.
Edward & Sophia, together with his son John, held a tenancy of Broyleside Farm in Ringmer until Edward's death. Although his son John was with him immediately before his death, it was Joseph Akehurst CAREY's son George CAREY who succeeded to this tenancy after Edward's death.
If I can I will pm you separately with additional detail - such things as tenant right valuations following Edward's death. Edward actually rented two small farms some distance apart , but both owned by the same landlord - the second farm is at Rushey Green, Ringmer, which is where I live.
John CAREY seems previously to have been at Stoneham in South Malling parish, immediately adjoining Ringmer. South Malling parish has now been dismembered, with most of it incorporated into Lewes, but Stoneham was transferred to Ringmer.
