Langley or Langney Green, Seaside, Eastbourne before 1916

[Keith Sherwood]

Ann,
Is that Milton Road in Eastbourne? (One of the main roads heading north out of Cambridge happens to be a Milton Rd...)
I managed to get a little bit further back with the UPTON family, mostly with the help of people on here.  Have you found the thread I started - about Elizabeth, I think - and if not I'll look for it and send it to you.  I also have the SHERWOOD's back to a John SHARWOOD/SHERWOOD who married a Fanny GRINYER at St Nicholas Brighton in 1804.  Then I am not absolutely sure whether he is the same individual who I can trace back to Arundel and the 18thC, or the man who came from Arlington and roots back to the 16thC.
I have Hannah Miles birth and death certificates, and if you have not gathered those in your research I can let you have copies, lots of things in fact,
So, one more reply on this thread and we can continue by PM or e-mail.  What is the time difference between GMT and where you are, by the way?
Regards, keith

Hi Keith,
Yes that is Milton Rd in Old Town Eastnourne.I had found Elizabeth prior to reading your thread but have sent for two birth certificates both wrong as I know that her Father was a Tailor and have Census,would very much appreciate a copy of her Birth Certificate. Was going to send for her Death which I have details for but have not got to that yet,so if you are happy to send that would be wonderful indeed.Not too sure about George W Sherwood senior's parents as I had been following back on a Kent surname Line but I did find he was rather illusive.
Looking foward to chatting more,do you have Skype?
Regards Ann

Ann,
Good, now we'll be able to PM one another.  And no, I'm not on Skype unfortunately, so we can't as yet compare SHERWOOD family likenesses!
I have so few photos of the SHERWOOD family during their time in Eastbourne, just one of my grandfather John Charles SHERWOOD with the POLLARD family he married into, possibly in the garden of their house in 29, Jevington Gardens, perhaps after the end of World War One.  Does your branch of the family have any snaps of the SHERWOOD family any time from the 1870's onwards in Eastbourne?
I'll PM you now, so we can discuss things in more detail, living relatives and so on...
Regards, keith.
p.s. The death certificate for Annie (Hannah) Maria (nee MILES) SHERWOOD shows her at the house of one of her sons, who is stated to be an A.C.SHERWOOD, in Windsor, in 1952.  Could this have been her son Alfred, born 1892?  Her age is given as 92, but I have her birth certificate that gives her date of birth as being in 1863, and therefore she could only have been 89.  I think she had her first child, Albert, who was born in 1878, when she was only 15 and not yet married to our gt-grandfather George William, and maybe because of this always added 2 or 3 years to her age when asked in Censuses.
I did not know in her/my lifetime that I had a SHERWOOD gt-grandmother still alive until I was 5 years old, and therefore wish I had met her and had had a memory of her.  Did you ever meet her - imagining that you might possibly be a bit older than I am, with a grandfather born 3 years before mine!
But I'm jumping the gun a bit, I'll get on the PM thing now...

Keith,

I have a photo of my Grandfather at my Parents Wedding plus a few of the family Caroline & Frank (George & Johns Sister)  I knew plus a few others that were given to me by Cousin Stella out here in OZ but none of Elizabeth when we get to emailing I can scan you some through.Do not have one of Hannah but she did remarry did you know that?
What do you mean by PM?I am new on Roots Chat and do not yet fully understand it all I do have two email addresses.
I was born in 1937,when were you born?
Regards Ann

Ann,
I've sent you a personal message now, and we can communicate away from this thread...
You had a ten year start on me in life, then...!
Regards, keith

Keith sherwood- I am trying to look at old areas of Eastbourne langney as my family are all from here, I do have some old pictures but was trying to get some information on 2ivy cottage langney Eastbourne around 1925 as my grandmother, father and auntie Sheila lived there. My father then moved to rotunda road which is in eye shot of where ivy cottage was. When I was a very young child I remember ivy cottage which was made of Flint. If this cottage was still standing it would be directly opposite a friend of mines house which is in Sevenoaks road langney, I have looked for foundations but Sevenoaks road is going over where it was stood. I am aware that somewhere within my family we have a picture of ivy cottage, but when my mum passed away four years ago everything was distrubuted between the family I am trying my best to locate this picture.

Hi, Liz, and welcome to Rootschat!
And I do love it when what seems a dormant thread jangles into life again…
As you can see, I started this thread just one week short of ten years ago, and the last activity was just over four years ago…and so I would be absolutely delighted to see any pictures that you might be able to unearth that may give an indication of the location or even existence of Ivy Cottage.  It's always a bit of a puzzle to me that although my gt-grandparents SHERWOOD had so many children, with the first nine all boys and therefore carrying on the male line, that I have never come across any other SHERWOOD descendants other than through my grandfather John Charles SHERWOOD's family.
Although I have since been contacted on Rootschat by someone who told me that my Gt-Grandma Annie remarried sometime after the death of her husband George William in 1916…
Very best wishes,
Keith
