Hi again

Hi Chris,

Would you mind checking for the surname Vandergucht - sometimes spelt as just "Gucht", or "Van Der Gucht" or variations thereof.

Many thanks

Di

Hi Di

Have scanned through all the surnames of the MI's I have of Lewes and Hastings for the surname  "Vandergucht - sometimes spelt as just "Gucht", or "Van Der Gucht"" and any variation that I could think of - but to no avail, the outcome I am afraid is NILL

Sorry about that

Thanks for the further Potter information Chris.  I did have some of the earlier ones, but the later ones confirm that Samuel had more children than I thought. There were 3 generations with the name Samuel, the last having been born in 1927.
I shall be going to ESRO next week so can do some more checking.  let me know if you need any look ups.

Regards
Flavia

Thanks for checking Chris - I thought I'd seen a mention of the Gucht name on your site at St Thomas on a MI. I must have been mistaken.

Thanks

Morning Chris

Taylors & Testers at St Annes would be perfect

Hi there Di

Yes, there was a mention on my web space concerning the name - but it was in the description of the church from the Lewes Guide as follows:

St Thomas a Beckett Parish Church (Cliffe)

St Thomas’s church, perhaps founded in the late-12th century when Thomas Beckett was newly martyred.The Gothick porch and south aisle (c1755), the Horsham slate roofs and the gargoyled 15thC tower group well together.  The clock (1670) was made by James Looker, a Ditchling blacksmith.  The Interior offers a 14thC nave arcade; a squint with a broad agee arch to the chancel; the arms of Elizabeth 1st (1598), made of hard plaster, with a fiery Welsh Dragon; a painting (1645) of the Ascension, Flemish in style, given in 1779 by a London art-dealer, Bernard Van Der Gucht; and the arms of George 1st fluently done.

Hi Toni

In the memorial transcriptions that I have for St Annes in Lewes done in the late 1890's by Ridley Bax FSA and covering the time period 1760 to 1891 - there is no mention of any Taylor or Tester Surnames

Sorry about that
