on the 1851 census my gr gr grandfather Trayton Christmas ( sometimes without the t) was a farmer of 105 acres on a farm called Canuhide I think that is the correct spelling. I cannot find this anywhere on old maps and was wondering if anyone else tracing the Christmases knows or has heard of it. In 1841 he farmed Great Beech Farm in battle. Which today is marked as old barns.
Their children, if they are anyones elses family were Orpha, Benjamin, Richard, Mary, Tilden (mine), Charles, Elizabeth and Thomas.
Trayton was born in Wartling village.

The next household is Fox Hole Farm.
Which still exists! At Kane Hythe Road, TN33 9QU

I see KGarrad has already solved your puzzle. ;D
Kane Hythe sounds spookily like Canuhide doesn't it? ;D
I was going to ask if you have Trayton in any other census and if he is living at the same address (to check spellings and location).
PS. Fabulous name - Trayton Christmas.

Canuhide (Kanuhide) on old maps 1910, and was at map ref TQ71745 16672 on the B2096 road and opposite the Reeves Wood.

Thanks everyone. Trayton was only at that farm on that census. The 1841 he had a farm called Great Beech (Birch) at Battle. He died in 1851.

My husband is also related to your Trayton Chrismas via his daughter Mary Chrismas (1840 - 1909) who married William Cramp (1842 - 1894) in 1863.
I would be very interested in sharing information if you would like.

Hi,
Yes I would like to exchange information.
My biggest mystery and great big brick wall was the information that Trayton was the child of James Chrismas and Elizabeth. James is already married to Sarah and has a son and has other children after Trayton but I simply cannot find out who Elizabeth is. The verger of Wartling church has sent me all the births and said it is definitely in the records as Elizabeth. Have you solved this one? I did visit the Keep records office and still found the same but no Elizabeth.
-
On ancestry.com, there is only one tree that has Elizabeth listed as Trayton's mother. All others cite Sarah.
Familysearch.org also has Elizabeth listed as his mother at the time of his Christening, but no marriage.
Have you sighted the marriage records of Trayton and Mary Ann? Does it contain his mother's name? I have been unable to get a copy of the marriage certificate as central records apparently only commenced in 1837, after their marriage. I live in Australia, so am unable to access the actual records. I have to rely on the internet.
Could Trayton have been born "on the side" (i.e. illegitimate) whilst his father was married to Sarah? It is the only explanation I can come up with.
Which branch of the family is yours?

I have so much information do you know how we can exchange email addresses rather than putting them on this site?

Are you on Facebook???? We can exchange e-mail addresses via messenger...
-
I am not but my son is so if you give me whatever it is you give I will get him to get it together. His name is Tamlyn.
-
cannot find him. Apparently there is a personal message section on rootschat. Maybe we can explore that???? I have had no success so far in exploring that ......
-
Alternatively I can give you my e-mail address and we can go from there????
-
Like I said - use the Personal Message System! ;D
On the left, underneath a person's avatar, there is an icon that looks like a document page.
It's green if the user is online; white if they're offline.
Click on it, and you will be able to send a private, personal message.

KGarrard I want the email because it states that you cannot attach items and I have lots.
Thanks for your advice.
-
:-\
But you send your email address through the PM system!
If you post your email address as a reply to the thread, then anyone who can use Google, Bing, etc can potentially see it.

Thank you for that information KGarrad. It took a whle for that "document' to display. It was there one minute, and not there later... Hopefully i have succeeded sending that message.
