Hi Kerry

I'm sorry but I couldn't find the burials for Robert and Alice - the 1590 burials didn't start on the fiche of the original till Jun for some unknown reason There weren't any transcripts. Where did you get the info you have?

Hi ravelin

Your marriage for William Houeck to Mary Comes on 12 Feb 1740 was in the Linch parish registers - no extra info.

Hello Jan

Thank you for doing that lookup for me. Very good of you.  

Surprised that there is no extra info.

Good to confirm that they married in Linch and not Linchmere.

Thanks again.

Hi Andrea

Bolney

Baptism
Nov 5th 1826 Jesse Gander son of William and Mary Labourer of Bolney

Maybe Jesse was a servant but still lived at home?

Hi Ravelin

Sadly the earlier the record the less information you will find - witnesses weren't included in the registers until 1754.

Jan

[Ravelin]

Yes that right Jan. Earlier the records the less info generally.

I was surprised because a fellow rootschatter who found the marriage on the Sussex Marriage CD indicated that there was extra info for the marriage.

I am very happy to have found this marriage anyway. It means i can begin tracing the Howick line in the 1600's - 1700's in this area of Sussex.

Hi jan

How odd, my transcript came from a CD, the PRTS registers for Cowfold.

Thanks for looking, I shall have to try and investigate that one some more.  It was a curious one, the fact that it mentioned suicide beside Alice's name.

It is very odd - I think I shall have to have another squint, the registers were very faint and maybe what looked like June was Jan, which would make more sense! There weren't many, so I'll see if I can see anything next week. I must admit to not being very good with 16th century writing
