Hello - I'm new to RootsChat - it came up when I put Etherington into Google.  My great great grandmother was Jane Etherington born in Lurgashall in 1820.  I think her father was William Etherington.   She married Henry Steele.  She died in 1886 and is buried in Milford churchyard.

I'd be fascinated to know whether she is in your family tree also.

many thanks

Geoff Farrell

Welcome to Rootschat, Geoff, but brice01 hasn't been online since April 2004, ellensophia since July 2005 and sunnysmile since July 2008. However, if you need help find information let us know the details and I'm sure someone will post information or suggest where you can search next.

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hello,
I'm new to this and I know the last post was a long time ago, but I'm a member of the Etherington family from Lurgashall. My Great grandfather James Keith Etherington was born around 1910, however his older sister, Mabel Rose was born 1900.
 Anyway I was wondering if I could have any help finding family members. I know from asking around in my family we have roots in Lancashire, but mainly in Lurgashall, and the Midhurst area. Most of the Etheringtons still live in Sussex, and its a very big family. I'd appreciate all the help I can get.
 
  Thanks,
Ali

Hello - I had my first post last October - good to have a follow up.   My gg grandmother was Jane Etherington born 1820.  She had a sister Harriet born 1822 and a brother William born 1824.   She became a Steele by marriage and is buried, alongside her husband, in Milford churchyard.  So -if you have either Harriet or William in your history, then you and are related.  all best Geoff

Oh - forgot to say - I got a lot of information by looking at the parish records for Lurgashall that are kept at the West Sussex Record Office in Chichester.  Easy for me because I live nearby but worth a visit if you can.  Geoff

Hi Geoff,
 Thank you for such a quick reply. I may have to go a check the West Sussex Record office, when I'm next down in Sussex. All I know from talking to family members is that the members of the Etherington family in Lurgashall are my cousins, Aunties, uncles, and great Grandparents. It would be nice to know if I have found someone I am related to.
 I do know that two of my cousins Percy, and Arthur fought in the Battle of Loos in the WW1, and they are commemorated at the memorial in France. I am still an Etherington, and we are mainly based down in Sussex still, around, Burwash, E. Grinstead area.
 I'll keep doing some research, and maybe i'll find Harriet is a long lost relative of mine.
 Thank you again.
Ali

Hi Ali - me again.    There is a John Etherington who is the current Chairman of Midhurst Town Council.   His name pops up in the local press quite often.  Because my link to the Etheringtons is so small, I've not got in touch with him.  But you have a stronger reason I'd have thought.
