Heathfield Parish Registers

[kerryb]

Hi Chris

Thank you very much, that is something to get my teeth into and very helpful. 

According to the information I was given John and Mary's first son was Richard, bapt 1712 so perhaps they married elsewhere.  A nice mystery 

Both Thomas and then John had stacks of children, must have been the good clean air! Those baptisms and deaths will fit in. 

Funnily enough my whole family tree seems to have loads of sets of twins, perhaps thats down to the Sussex air too 

Thanks again

Kerry

Hi  Chris


I'm so sorry to have given you this large task - thanks so much - I'm going to print it off and
try and sort it out over the week-end.
I am also in Sussex and did go to Lewes a couple of weeks ago for the first time - but need to find time and go again.
I have been to Queens Hall in Cuckfield is it you that dose the talk - if so you are great.
Thanks once again.
Best regards
Sue

Hi Sue

Wow, you sat and listened to one of my talks at Cuckfield!!

Now for the bad news, they have asked me to go again next year and the topic is "Whats on a Gravestone" - apparently there is a lot more information other than the inscription.

I think I will enjoy listening to that one (Joke)

Seriously though, glad to be of help to you and it keeps me active and the old grey matter ticking over now that I have retired.

Best of luck this weekend, hope you can tie some of them in to your tree

I've just realised you've got Mascalls too!  Some of those baptisms look useful for me too.  Thanks Chris.

Hopefully I will be able to get along to Cuckfield next year, subject sounds interesting and I shall look forward to it.

Hi Chris

Do you know the date you will be in Cuckfield - I will pencil it in.
Talking of gravestones - I went to Heathfield Church last month to find my gr.grandparents gravestone - I have seen it before many years ago - but I could not find it - its seams to dispeared also there should a Obelisk for a Richard (Bodle) Holmes he lived to 105 could not find that - I need Sherlock Holmes to help me.
Thanks for your help
Best regards
Sue

The last time I went to Heathfield Church I noticed they have moved a lot of old gravestones around the edge.  But that was a couple of years ago and perhaps they have moved them out now

Hi  Kerry

Yes  - my mum was a Maskell from Punnetts Town and her gr.grandmother was a Punnett which we believe that Punnetts Town was named after the family name - I think we share some surnames like Lewry and Harmers - do you have a Jonadab Mascal born 1737 in your tree?
Thanks again Chris for the info on the Mascals.
Best regards
Sue
Ps. I just seen your new message - that makes me feel really sad - unfortunately Heathfield Church is not like Cuckfield Churchyard which is beautiful and Dick keeps it looking great.

Hi Sue

Earlier you wrote:

It is usually in March - I think the next one will be on 22nd March 2008 (if not, it will be on the 29th)
Sillgen will give you the exact date as she is part of the organising committee and usually responsible for persuading me to give a talk

Unfortunately more and more memorials are being moved from graves - reasons usually given are 'Health & Safety' but more often than not is makes it easier to cut the grass if they are removed.  I personally think it is criminal that they are allowed to do that.
