Hedg in Sussex?
« on: Monday 22 September 14 14:10 BST (UK) »
The 1633 Visitation lists a single person as "of Hedg". Is there anywhere in Sussex that this could be?

It might be in Surrey, or technically Surrey, on the Sussex border?

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01a3o/
The Visitation of Sussex 1530, page 133
mentions a Robert Heath of 'Linffield in Com.' Surrey who  had a son named John, who married a woman, daughter of ----DODG of Hedg. John and his wife had a son named Roger....

and that family is here.....

Could it all lead to  the old Manor of Hedg (Hedge) Court, or Hedgecourt near Grinstead?

Thanks Ambly,

Hedge Court is a possibility. Was there a Dodge family there?

If not, I suspect it is Edge, Cheshire as the 2 Surrey Dods that were listed in the Visitations claimed to be from there.

I looked at the pedigree on the ourfamilyhistories link you found and it looks like someone was trying too hard to continue the pedigree for the Heath family back into time. I cannot see how they decided that the Miss Dod that married John Heath of Lingfield was the daughter of Roger Dod of Broxton & Anne Done of Utkinson, nor does there seem to be any reference. Can you figure out how they made this link?
