ROE - Linchmere baptism look up please

Oh, Jan - you're a star!! So Linch is in Sussex? I'll have a look in a min...
I had no idea there was such a place and never would have found that!!!

So how do I go about finding his mother then - do you have any handy hints?!

If she was a pauper I guess it would be worth looking at poor law records or equvalent - will have to look up what poor relief was at that time...

What if she's not in Linch - I guess look at all the surrounding places? hmmm, needles and haystacks!!

Thank you sooooooooooo much!

Linch is 2 or 3 miles SW of Linchmere - to be honest I thought they were the same place

I did look back to see if Sarah was baptised in Linch but no sign. Yes I would imagine poor law records would be your next stop.

Huh, shows how observant I am - I've been studying old maps and everything!!
I am eternally grateful for that bit of info Jan - it's been a real sticking point for ages!
