Yes thankyou so much  Rosie for researching that . It was interesting to hear that the factory was actually in Staines. I wondered why I couldn't find reference to it in Chertsey. They still manufacture it in Kirkaldy Scotland apparently and in Italy.

Thankyou both for replying.I presume linoline factory worker is linoleum factory!?! I've never heard of linoline anyway.  Sorry, I didnt realise about 1911 look-ups not being allowed. I'll look that one up through a friend.

A couple called Thomas Still and Sarah (nee Gainsford) had children in Cowden from 1782 onwards but married there in 1773. According to some family trees published on a couple of different subscription sites my ancestor Harriet Still born in the mid 1770s was also a child of theirs (spelt Harriot usually), even though her baptism does not show up on Cowden Igi searches. Neither does the births of several other Still children attributed to this couple before 1782-William , Elizabeth and Sophia. Does anyone know of any definate reason rather than just maybe a guess for these attributations? My Harriet did marry in Cowden.

Does anyone have any access to Shermanbury (West Sussex) death records for the 18th century?  All those on Familysearch are 19th century. I live far from the area myself. The deaths I am searching for are:

Anthony and Sarah Henty between 1754 and 1776. There may be two individuals called Anthony and two called Sarah. I am interested in all of them.

Secondly I am seeking the deaths of another couple Bridget and William Britt 1711 or later. They were born circa 1680s so their deaths are not likely to be later than 1760s and were probably much sooner.

Any help with either or both enquiries much appreciated. Thanks.

Thankyou so much. Both households are interesting to me.
