Chris - Sussex Lookups Required by Helen please.
« on: Wednesday 27 April 11 09:08 BST (UK) »
Hi Chris, I'm new to Rootsweb so please let me know if I've done this incorrectly.  I hope this reaches you!

I would love your help to look at Rye and Battle baptism, marriage and burial records.  I am in New Zealand and unable to search in person for a solution to my brick wall in the early 1700's.

I'm not sure how to keep an eye out for your reply but I will watch the sight.

kind reagrds

Hi Helen

You may like to know that the actual parish register images for Rye and many other East Sussex parishes ( but unfortunately not Battle) can be found on Family Search.

You need to have an account (very quick and easy to do) and log-in. Then go to "search" on the top tool bar and select "catalogue" from the drop down menu.

Then enter the name of the parish in the search bar (have "by place" tab selected) and select the correct one from the drop down menu. Eg. England, Sussex, Rye and press the "search" button.

You will get a list on the right hand side. click on the "England, Sussex, Rye - Church Records (12) and you will get a list of entries in Blue writing.

Click on "Parish Registers and Poor law Records for Rye 1538-1881" (writing will turn pink making it easier to spot if you need to go back at a later date). This takes you to a list at the bottom of the page - on the right hand side under "format" you will see a magnifying glass, a camera and a microfilm icon. Click on the camera icon next to the batch you wish to look at.

This will take you to the images for that batch. Sometimes you may get other parishes in the same batch (as these happened to be on the same microfilm). Use the buttons on the left hand side (under the +/- button is a "browse multiple image" button which is useful for quick forwarding to the start of a next batch - black pages with white writing including name of parish & batch number).

Hope this helps,

Michelle
