Title: Stuck on my Tourle ancestors
Post by: thegraylady on Wednesday 18 March 15 14:17 GMT (UK)
Hi,

I'm completely new on here and not at all sure how it works!  I am currently researching my ancestors on a commercial website but have got stuck as I cannot find any evidence of the birth of my ?x great grandfather William Knight Tourle (and therefore can't progress any further)  - I think it may of been around 1774 in either Buxted or Lewes, but cannot find any definite records or proof.  He was the father of William Knight Tourle (1808-1840) and quite a few others!

I'd also be very interested to know where any of the Tourle's are buried.

Many thanks ;)
