Sussex / Re: Parish Registers for St Swithins, East Grinstead
« on: Sunday 14 February 16 17:02 GMT (UK)  »
Hello there, I was wondering if you had found out more about the Pattendens since your initial post? I came across the Dearling name while trying to discover the name of my 3 x grandmother. I believe she may have been a Mary Dearling, sister to Amelia. There were three older Dearling siblings baptized in Lingfield, my Mary in 1783.(Younger siblings baptised in Horne I think).  My Mary had given her birthplace as Horne on the census, but I found a Mary Dearling baptized in Lingfield to William and Mary Dearling, Horne. I also came across some info posted by Pete Hunnisett about the Dearling, Pattenden, and Heasman families. I haven't confirmed that my Mary was Mary Dearling as I have only found a possible marriage for her in Kent, but here is Mr. Hunnisett's webpage. It states that Amelia was known as Mille.  Hope it helps!

Oh one other thing. If my Mary was Mary Dearling (she married three times and ended up as Mary Hounsome East Grinstead,  in 1851, mistranscribed as Hourisman, her daughter was married to John Weaire, carpenter. Perhaps he helped in the carpenter transition!

Kent / Brown family of Farningham, Kent c. 1820
« on: Saturday 24 October 15 00:24 BST (UK)  »
Hello all,

A query as to whether anyone has access to old Farningham newspapers, 1828. I am looking for any tidbits of information on my ancestor George Brown, blacksmith of Farningham, died July 1828. I have no information on his family except the birth of his three children in Farningham - George, Mary and Hester, from 1819 to 1822. His wife was called Mary someone, born 1782 in Horne, Surrey. George was born around 1774, place unknown. I have found him in the Pigott's directory, I believe 1824, liviing in Farningham. I can find no marriage for George and Mary anywhere in Surrey, nor in Farningham. Any help would be greatly appreciated.   :)

Hi Nicole,nice to meet you. My great great grandmother was Elizabeth Godley of the Friar's Oak pub. She married Philip Corney and together they ran The Bull Inn in Ditchling. I don't do much genealogy during the summer but once the weather turns foul I'll be back at it!  :)

I managed to find a pic of the ship. It was built as the Comete, later named Granville. Interesting to see it! This is all so intriguing.

I found something more! I scrolled around and found some civil records for Granville. James Clegg's entry of death is there, though no cause given. They have a lot of detail and even include his parents' name (which is most useful as it confirms that his parents must have been some sort of cousins). Here is the link, it's on the left of the book. Thanks so much again. Now I will have to find out how to order a death certificate.

Wow, thank you so much! We had wondered about the "French connection". I tried searching on ancestry for deaths in France but found nothing. He must have had some kind of accident, poor fellow. I have a photo which we believe to be him, but unfortunately last night my computer went on the fritz. I am using my daughter's right now. If I can't get my computer fixed sometime in the next week or so I will find it and scan it again, just so you can see what he looked like. Thanks ever so much again!

Oh wow, thank you very much! It is very appreciated.
Someone last year did check the death registers for me, perhaps that was you? I guess the little Frederick James who died was my great grandfather's brother, poor little thing.
