Hi, thank you for responses. Yes, I found it on The National Archives website. I wasn't sure if there was any other way of viewing the will without having to actually purchase it. There's a possible link to my tree but I've paid to view quite a few wills that only have a possible link and discovered no link. Thank you anyway x

It's really helped. Thank you Suey (sorry I called you Jan!) and thank you Jan! Much appreciated

Hi Jan, I was a bit confused too as the info is in the Sussex record book yet they lived in Surrey. They definitely lived in Slaugham at some point; the father was born there. They married there too. The children (& later ones) seem to have been born in Reigate yet they all children (inc. the ones named in the record) were baptised in Staplefield (as Non Conformists). It seems they lived in Reigate but kept popping back to the Slaugham area to be baptised. I wondered if the record is suggesting they return to Slaugham?

I do already have all the info. re births, marriages etc. It was just this record that I couldn't make out. I did post this in with the Sussex posts, but somebody suggested I contact you.

Many thanks,
Amanda

Thank you  I'll follow the link and repost

Hi John,

The burial ground was re-landscaped as a public garden in 1900 so if William is still there I doubt I'll be able to locate him. His final resting place may now be marked by a public bin. I'm hoping the church at least retained the grave stones. (I read that they may be propped up against the railings.) I was born and raised in London and I can remember more than enough open spaces without this needing to be done. I'm not for it at all.

It would be great to locate Hannah's final resting place. It would also hopefully provide us with a year of birth for her as we are itching to try and go further back with the family tree. Not sure what OH means? Your help is very much appreciated at your earliest convenience. Thank you John.
