Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: Lewes sussex lookup if possible please

Hi Dawn
I was just wandering in the sussex page and your query sparked my interest for the mention of Lewes. (4xgr/grandad) I don't know where in Australia you are, but if you're in Nsw, you could look up the shipping and bdm indexes. I found a Henry Athrell died 1881 Sydney, numerous Attrills (mostly girls!) b. in NSW and a John Attrell arrived 1842 on the Samuel Boddngton (reel 2144 p 192)
I got my best clues for my lot through the shipping records of assisted immigrants because they show parents names (if they were alive!).
You may be well ahead of me here, but if not, I hope this can help
