Another Visit to East Sussex Record Office

[mnmilt]

Chris,
Many thanks for the Crowhurst/Roods information.  It has been most helpful and given me a few more leads.  It has also naturally created a few more loose ends that I will need to tie up some time!  Sorry that I haven't been in contact sooner but I have been in Northen Vermont on vacation. 

Thanks once again for your help.

Regards

Mark

Hi Chris,

The Baptism Registers for Fletching only covered the period 1829 - 1878, so was unable to check in those.

The Baptism Registers for Horsted Keynes gave the following

3rd December 1826, John Newnham, son of Robert and Philly, Labourer, Mopes.

other children listed to those parents included

7th Dec 1823 - Annesley
14th Dec 1823 - Robert (aged 2 years)
3rd Dec 1826 - John

The only Benjamin Newnham I could find was the following

23rd August 1829, Benjamin George Newnham, son of Benjamin and Tirzah, Labourer, Annwood.

There were a lot of other children belonging to Benjamin and Tirzah

Marriages in Danehill

Entry No 112
3rd March 1877, Caroline Newnham and George Browning

other marriages around the same time that might be of interest from the Danehill Register include

No 98 - 4th Apr 1874, Benjamin Newnham to Susan Elizabeth Lucas
No 117 - 20th Oct 1877, John Robert Newnham to Eliza Tomsett
No 127 - 9th June 1879, Benjamin Newnham to Mercy Funnell
No 159 - 16th May 1885, Richard Newnham to Charlotte Brown
No 190 - 8th Feb 1890, George Newnham to Ann Marten
No 199 - 10th Feb 1891, Henry Newnham to Beatrice Pollard
No 202 - 10th Feb 1892, Benjamin Newnham to Mary Crombie
No 222 - 21st Jan 1894, Richard Newnham to Charlotte Brown
No 228 - 14th Apr 1894, Thomas Newnham to Adela Weller

Hope the above is of help to you

Many Thanks for the above info. I am currently looking into some of the names to see if they could be linked to my tree. Going back another generation opens so many doors of enquiry its hard to keep track of them all!!

Thanks,

Kim

Hi Chris,
sorry for the delay in replying but I've been away on my hols. Now I see that you are away on your own holidays, so I hope you find this on your return!

Thankyou so much for taking the time to do this lookup for me. Although I was hoping that the information I had for the birthdate of Thomas Kemp was wrong... your findings have shown that he could not possinbly have been the Thomas that married in 1835. At least I can cross that one off my list!

Many thanks Chris, your help is much appreciated

Hi Chris,

The following request is from your last visit, you needed to request the papers to be supplied to the office about 10 days in advance if I recall correctly,  as they are kept off site, any chance of it this time?

'Archive of Burtenshaw and Son of Hailsham, Auctioneers and Valuers'
Catalogue Ref : BUR
Administrative Records
Auction and valuation books - ref. BUR/2/1
File- Auction Book -ref. BUR/2/1/10 date Nov 1850-Sep 1851
page 211. Berwick: farming live and dead stock (Stace) 1851

also

in the same catalogue
File - Auction book- ref BUR2/1/19 date Dec 1852 Jun 1853
p116. Berwick, blacksmith's shop: house, wheelwright's and blacksmith's shops (late White) 1853

I would dearly like to know any details that you maybe able to copy down if it is not too time consuming.  The second reference about the wheelwright's interests me as John Stace was a wheelwright in Berwick before coming out to NZ, (he may have sold out to White,)but I hoped it might have a description of the house or shop, I don't imagine Berwick was big enough to have two wheelwright establishments!!

I do appreciate your time and willingness to help.
Best regards,
kiwi.
