Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: SANDS / HOLLAND(S) - 1851 lookup, please
« on: Sunday 28 February 10 21:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Kerry

I made a slight error in my last post in my excitement at finding my own ancestors discussed!  It's actually a John Ollive, no "r", which makes it a little more questionable.  According to the SFHG baptism database, he was baptised 2 Dec 1724, and his parents were John and Sarah Ollive. 

One thing that makes me less sure that this is him is that there would be no link at all between John's siblings' names and those of his children - which would be unusual in my experience.

I'm not so sure about the marriage of John Olliver and Elizabeth Vidlar being that of John Olliver from Warbleton - I have it tentatively as being a John Olliver bapt Ticehurst in 1724.

I haven't had a chance to check the burial registers yet, so can't be sure this John made it to adulthood, but if he did, then this has to be a strong possibility.

Hi Lynn

I'm related to this George Goodsell, too.  He was my 5x gt grandfather.

Sadly, his grandson William also died in the Union Workhouse in Battle, in 1912.

Thank you everyone for the information you've posted - I've only recently discovered details of the deaths of these two men and it's very interesting to see the details of the place where they both died.  I'm glad to know that it may not have been as grim as I'd imagined, too.
