Hello,  Don’t know if this will help but a cousin was baptised in the parish of Sutton-Cum-Seaford in 1914 and the register is signed by the curate - J.A.S. Griffiths.  Other names on the page are C.B. Prior (Curate/Deacon) and F.D. Cremer (Vicar). Good Luck.

Hiya Linda, Yes, I live in the U.K. - in Surrey.  I have Maud Ashbourne Papps’ father as being born in 1833 and passing away in 1892. His wife was Susan Lawrence - 1845-1925, from Keinton in Somerset.  What I have found confusing in the Roots Chat discussion is how the families seem to keep changing their names from Purslove to Peacock! ( I think the Peacock and Lambert names are on the Purslove side and not the Papps side and when Hannah Purslove married Harry Papps they passed on both names as some of their childrens’ middle names. Confusing!  I also can’t understand why Caroline Papps who was Harry and Hannah’s daughter was on the 1841 (aged 9 years) census of John Peacock. This John Peacock was the son of John Peacock Purslove and christened John Lambert Purslove! Although I think this John Peacock was her uncle (Hannah’s brother) No wonder you’ve been confused. At the week-end let me know briefly what info you have so I don’t repeat anything. Take care.

First apologies to the moderator for mentioning my email.
Linda - the John Lambert Papps in my family - born in 1833 - was also my gt.gt.grandfather so it’s possible we are cousins somewhere along the way. I have details of all his children, which includes Frederick Peacock Papps who was my mother’s father’s father.As far as I can ascertain Frederick was the only Peacock and another son John was the only Lambert.  There were six children altogether that I am aware of. Do you know your great grandparent’s name?

My great grandfather was called Frederick Peacock Papps - born 1870 in London. His father was John Lambert Papps born 1833 and he owned a whip and saddle shop in Knightsbridge. I wonder if they are related to the family you are querying.
