LEWES - St John Sub Castro

[MattD30]

Hi Chris

Can you tell me if there are any references to the name WELLS in the burial registered for the 19th to 20th centuries and if there are any Memorial Inscriptions recorded for that name?

I hope you can help, thanks.

Hi CHris

Thanks for the quick reply. Daniel Wells (1871) and Hannah Wells (1870) are my direct ancestors.

Can you provide me any more details about these two? Do you know if headstones exist for them?
