Hi Debi

Sorry, but they are not on the 1851 census for Sedlescombe or surrounding district except for Spencer.

HO107/ 1636/ Folio 206/ Page 40 - Near Footland, Sedlescombe, Sussex
PLAYFORD Spencer, Head, Marr, 32, Ag Lab, born Sedlescomb
                 Mary Jane, Wife, Marr, 26, born Northiam
                 Spencer, Son, Unm, 1, born Sedlescomb.

Allowing for the fact that Spencers age was rounded down to the nearest 5 in the 1841 census, i.e. 15; he could therefore have been 19, which makes his 1851 age of 32 not to far out.

plus there is also this family in Sedlescombe

HO107/ 1636/ Folio223/ Page 56 - Snaggs Hall, Sedlescombe
PLAYFORD James, Head, Marr, 36, Ag Lab, born Northiam
                 Harriett, Wife, Marr, 36, born Ewhurst
                 Harriett, Dau, Unm, 14, born Ewhurst
                 John, Son, Unm, 12, born Sedlescombe
                 Albert, Son, Unm, 6, born Ewhurst
                 William, Son, Unm, 6, born Ewhurst
                 Mary Ann, Dau, Unm, 4, born Ewhurst
                 George, Son, Unm, 1, born Ewhurst

Hi Chris,  I have just noticed a query and reply re 1811 Population List for Lewes St. John regarding JAMES WICKS.

You mentioned a James Wicks, labourer, 5 males, 6 females, 2 families.  I have a James Wicks born 1781 who married Sarah Manners in 1803.  HIs son James was born in 1805.  Surely the James Wicks YOU mentioned was most probably the father of the one born in 1781?

Could you give me your thoughts on this one?  I have not been able to pick up anything back past James (born 1781).

Appreciate your input for ALL the queries you answer.  I wish now I had copied more records when I did my Diploma in Local History.      Regards.    Marie

Hi there Marie P

Thanks for the message - but can you remind me of the original question - please

As you rightly point out, I do answer an awful lot of queries and can not always re-call them without scrolling through some 2000+ replies.

Will then give it some thought

Thanks

Hi Chris

Could you possibly check the 1862 Post Office Street Directory for Hastings 1862 to see if Thomas Beeho can be found.  I have been told that he was living in Hastings from 31 Jan 1861 and I know he was sentenced to transportation in 1864.  Just trying to find out where he was in between!
Thanks for your help

Anne-Marie

PS The surname may be misspelt so have a good guess if necessary!

Hi Anne-Marie

Have just checked my copy of the 1862 Post Office Directory, and your  Thomas Beeho is not listed under any spelling variation

I did not think he would be as the early directories concentrated more on traders and prominent citizens more than the ordinary folk

Sorry to be so negative
