Will - James BROMFIELD or BROOMFIELD - Reference Look up
« on: Saturday 29 October 11 17:06 BST (UK) »
If anyone is planning to visit East Sussex Archives please could they look up a document reference for me.  I'm looking for the Will of a James BROMFIELD or BROOMFIELD which I think was proved circa 1774. 

I don't know where he was living at the time of his death but I believe the Will contains references to my confusing and elusive SIFFLEET ancestors so I'm keen to send off for a copy.

Many thanks in advance.

A 75 year old James Broomffield who was an anabaptist teacher from Chailey, was buried at All Saints, Waldron, Sussex, 7 March 1774. (info SFHG Members burial list website)
Could this be the James you seek?    Roy G

Thank you Roy.  That is indeed the chap.   It's a copy of his Will I need so I was hoping someone could look up the document reference in East Sussex Record Office so that I could apply to them for a copy.

Thank you for your prompt response.
