I would like to know what information there is in the registers about the following family names:
Daw
Hood or Hoad
Hammond
Edwards
in the years before 1800.
The only ones I know of are:
Ann Daw Hargraves buried 26 Oct 1792
William Hammond buried 28 July 1780
I would be interested to know if there are any memorials or headstones as well.
Thankyou for any help provided.

Thankyou so much!
To trespass on your good nature a little more....
I suspect that Ann Daw's father was Thomas Daw and that he may have had a brother called Joseph who died in Lewes 9.6.1792 - this from a document concerning land transfer in the Archives. Their father may have been the Joseph who with his wife Ann and son Joseph were granted a settlement certificate 15.1.1736.
The Edwards I am looking for are James and Elizabeth, his sister, grandchildren of Lawrence Daw of Ore who left them money in his will dated 1746.
William Hammond's father may also be William and his mother may have been Ann. If I have the right William he would have been 66 at death. Is his age on the tombstone??
Ann Hood was William Hammond's first wife. She died in 1766 and is buried at Waldron All Saints. I do not have any idea of her family except that it was probably from Lewes as they married there. His second wife was Martha and she died in 1792. Is she buried with him?
Thankyou once again for the leads you have given me.

Hi cauncej
I forgot to mention that after transcribing the burial register, I also with others drew a plan of the churchyard and then transcribed and photographed all of the headstones
This one may be of interest:
Number 601 - St John Sub Castro-
To the memory of/ Mrs Martha Hammond/ who died Oct the .. 1792/ aged 64 years/ Also of/ Mr William Hammond/ husband of the above/ Martha Hammond/ who died 10th December/ 1780 aged 46/
Footstone MH 1792; WH 1780.
NB - Although we couldnt make out the date that she died, it would have been only a couple of days before her burial on 26th October

Thankyou once again for the wealth of information you have supplied. Would that there was someone like you for for all the parishes I look at! I have been able to get a better idea of the Daw family. William Hammonds background remains elusive as does the Hood/Hoad family. They are probably locatedin other Lewes parishes so will keep looking.
A typewritten message is a poor way to convey my thanks but in the absence of alternatives ...thankyou!

hi Julia
As well as St John Sub Castro I also transcribed the tombstones in South Malling, All Saints and Southover - all in Lewes and have a photograph of same. Together with this I also transcribed the Burial Registers only for the same churches. Later on today will check those data bases to see if I can throw any further light on your ancestral search.
That will then narrow your search down to the remaining churches in Lewes of of St Annes without (without the castle walls) and St Michaels the Roman Catholic Church
