LEWES - St John Sub Castro

[suey]

Hi Chris, you've been a great help.  I had my suspicions about Harriet being a Lewes girl, I can now follow up another lead.

Many thanks
Suey

Hi Chris,

I am new here but am very interested in this parish as I have a number of notable ancestors that are centred around St John sub Castro.

My ancestors are Thomas Tourle of Landport 1642 - 1723; Thomas Tourle of Landport (jnr) 1697 - 1767; James Tourle 1734 - 1816;

COuld you tell me whether you have any info on these.

Thanks.

Hi there Steve T

Yes, I have lots of info on your ancestors - they played a prominent part of life in and around St John Sub Castro.

The family vault in Sub Castro is one of my favourites, mainly because of the picture below

More info to follow
