Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: SANDS / HOLLAND(S) - 1851 lookup, please
« on: Thursday 03 September 09 21:33 BST (UK)  »
Hi M.Ann - WOW what can I say, the same as I sent to Kerryb in PM - a HUGE THANKYOU!!  For the information and taking the time to put it all down - and I do appreciate you answering.  I have learnt so much from your message, I am certain the John Oliver and Elizabeth Vidler are correct.  I knew nothing about the Morman's info or the other websites you have mentioned - so now have other aspects to 'investigate' - thank you!
Thanks also for the advice re ESCRO - will give it a miss on this visit, think I had better get my head round all this information to start with.
If I can help you out in anyway let me know, I have several family members still in Sussex - Rye, Hastings, Icklesham areas and of course am going down to Rye/Warbleton area soon. 
Hope you both have a great weekend - Summer IS coming back!! Charlston. :)

Hi Kerry,
I've managed to do a little more 'investigating' - have traced back to Joseph Oliver b 1753 Ticehurst, Sussex - spouse Mary Rutley.  With Joseph's parents being a John Oliver and Elizabeth Vidler - but no details on them via ancestry.co.uk.  Any tips for visiting the East Sussex Records Office - where would you start or gain the most information do you think, I don't want to keep my family waiting for hours!

I managed to get George and Louisa's marriage certificate copy - threw me a bit when it said for age 'of full age' - but have found out George's age.  Anyway, thanks again for all your comments.  Very appreciated  :)

Hi again Kerry

It could be - trouble is all I have had to go on is a list of Warbleton marriages, Bodle Street marriages, baptisms and burials - which have been very useful as a start - but it sounds like I need to really 'investigate' the SFHG now.  I have asked for a copy of George and Louisa's marriage cert.

They certainly seemed to have moved round quite a lot - certainly re births/baptisms and marriages.  Luckily my grandfather (Fred Oliver) lived his adult life in Rye (Sussex), his father (Arthur 'Alf' lived in Edenbridge c the 1911 census).

The historian also included a list from the Tithe map entries and entries from Topographical Survey ref Olivers.  The earliest entry on the topographical survey is 'John 1574 of Dallington at death - will states of Warbleton and Dallington.  House called Skings, land to son William (p45/91).

You may have these already?

Thank you so much for your responses, very appreciated.  :-)  Charlston

Hi again Kerry,

I've just registered with the SFHG - looks like it may take up to a week for it to be actioned, so a bit of a delay there.  Thanks for the reference to the Three Cups - will def find and visit.  I've had a look at your site and there is a possibility that 'our' James Oliver could be a sibling to Hannah Oliver, it could make him approx 64-65yrs old when his son George married Louisa Lade.  Charlston  :)

Hi Kerry, thank you for answering so promptly.  I don't have any full details but I do have a list of Warbleton marriages 'OLIVER' family and it appears as though George's parents were a James Oliver and Louise Lade (daughter of Fill (Phil) Lade.  George was actually married twice and had a total of 18 children!

Do you have a name/contact for the Dallington registers by any chance?  We are travelling down to E Sussex early September and I hope to do a bit of research down there, hopefully going to Warbleton/Turners Green again and perhaps finding out where the addresses are in the area (as mentioned in the Census').

I also hope to telephone the historian again this week to ask if she had found out any more about the Oliver's clock.
Thank you once again for responding, 'Charlston'   :)

I have just discovered Rootchat and read with great interest the thread of messages re Sands/Hollands.  In particular the references to Oliver's!  I have only recently started to search the family tree and our Oliver's hail from Ticehurst area, WARBLETON.  And there is a link to an Emily Sands c 1856.  We visited Warbleton a couple of years ago and by chance were directed to a very helpful local historian whom I contacted and she did some basic research listing the Oliver's linked to my great great grandfather:  George Oliver, Warbleton Census 1841 showed him married to Louisa and living at Sandhole Fm.  Through the years the Oliver's showed addresses at Rabbetts Cotts, Warbleton, Red Pale Road, Warbleton, Culls Cottages, Warbleton.

There is also an Oliver's clock at Turners Green on the side of an Oast House which we are trying to find out more about.  I wonder if we have any links to your research?  Would love to hear from you.
