Heathfield Parish Registers

[kerryb]

Sorry, Kerry, my source ends in 1753 the same as Chris's and there's no WATER(S) baptism after 1738 up to its end.

Sorry Stovepipe, I actually realised that as I lay in bed last night.    Blame it on having too much to do!

Hi Kerry, yes I have seen the Fuller  website. I also have the name Harmer in my tree but they were born in Herstmoncuex. Regards Poppyann

My Harmers came from Heathfield, but there are lots around Sussex, apparently two main strands - Heathfield and Salehurst.

Hi again

I don't suppose there is a Thomas Waters baptised around 1740 ish??

Kerry,

Again, no joy.  The latest WATERS baptism was Elizabeth d. of Richard & Mary baptised 2 Feb 1737/8 - no WATERS after that to the end of the transcript.  Before that were just two in the first decade of the 18th century to Thomas & Mary, but none where the child was Thomas.  The closest Thomas WATERS before that was as early as 12 May 1684, son of Thomas & Catharine.

(Sorry I can't easily give you a mass lookup - as Chris very helpfully does - 'cos my source doesn't permit cut-n-paste, so I have to type everything out manually.)

If it's any help the Mayfield register has the following baptism:

30 Mch 1740   Thomas the son of Richard and Mary Waters

I couldn't find the baptism of any sibling.

Regards,
Stovepipe

Thanks Stovepipe

I can disregard the many entries on the IGI submitted as wrong then  they had him baptised at Heathfield 1737 to 1740. 

There was an option for Mayfield, I shall have to look into that one after all Mayfield is not that far from Heathfield anyway.

Hi All

Thanks Stovepipe for filling in for me.

Unfortunately I caught a virus which knocked me backwards for a few days and that allowed the flue to take advantage and sneak in, so spent the last 8 days in bed - but glad to say am now moving about again.

Hope to be back on the boards again from now

Hi Chris and Sue9.

I was reading the full set of posts to this thread to see whether I could pick up any bluebirds and saw the post from Sue9 on 26/10/2007 (better late than never says I).

It said in part
"I'm trying to find the marriage of the parents of Jonadab  (Thomas and Katherine Mascall.)"

The Jonadab concerned was born in 1737 in Burwash. I've previously picked up info from Sue9 about Jonadab Mascall and Ann Gurr who are my 5xg grandparents, and I wondered if Sue had progressed with Thomas and Katherine at all.

All the Mascall posts are of great interest as well. I'll be returning to those before too long.

Regards

Hi Alan

My Mascall family are quite far back on my tree and I've not done much research on them but I look forward to seeing what you come up with and whether we have a link through this family.

I'm glad we have parents for Jonadab at last.
