Keith,
It may be worth your while to take a look at the following:-

Put Langney in the box and then search, it should bring up the 1879 OS map for the area, scanning around I see it shows the Lodge and Archery pubs amongst things on it could be worth a look.

Hi Sarah,
Many thanks for that, I have not covered the death records for that period yet but will let you know when I find out.

I will keep an eye out for anything on your connection you are looking for, it might be worth posting a message on:-

Many thanks for the info on Herbert Leicester Trangmar, I have the birth reference for him in 1907 but not his death as yet.

Another part of the research puzzle located, yes I am researching Trangmars my Mum's maiden name.

Reg,

The Austens, and Godwin-Austens (Godwin added by decree of Queen Victoria) virtually owned Shalford and surrounding villages at one time, name goes back 100s years. 

Good luck with your research, and Happy New year.

Reg,

Are you carrying out research in Shalford, or was it just a general inquirey.

Just out of interest being a Shalfordian living in Eastbourne.

The Lighter Side / Re: Coxwain

Magnificent photo Fitty, to think his lifeboat was rowed out to the rescue in those days, what courage!

We had an interesting talk by the Eastbourne Coxwain at our Family Roots meeting last month on the history of our lifeboat.

When asked why they still fire maroons when a launch is on, the coxwain explained that despite all the pagers, mobile phones etc it lets the people in distress know that help is on the way.

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Re: Scarborough Pals Battery 161st Brigade RFA
« on: Sunday 14 November 04 13:02 GMT (UK)  »
Ticker,

Found out a bit more on the 161st Batt RFA, they were raised/formed on outbreak of war Aug 1914 and were part of L Brigade of the 9th Division from Aug 1914 - Feb 1915.

They then became B Battery RFA from Feb 1915 - 11th Nov 1918.

From Aug 1915 - Mar 1918 they were with the Guards Division.

The book I have "Order of Battle of Divisions Part 1" does not cover the 9th Division, or where they were during the "missing" dates sadly I do not have parts 2 & 3 to look further.

My Grandfather William Trangmar was a regular soldier with the Royal Horse Artillery, at the outbreak of war his Battery (J) went in with the British Expeditionary Force on the first day and managed to come out at the end in 1918!
