Hi Andrew,
Would you be able to look up Eleanor / Ellen Hayles, a birth in Lewes, around 1812-1817? Parents names believed to be Edward and Jane. If you find the birth, would you be able to look for Edward and Jane's marriage around the same sort of time??
Many thank you's!
Nat

Thank you very much Andrew, I'd appreciate any help.

Hi Andy

Thank you for the extra details. I am sorry its pretty vague as these are the two I have not been able to find yet. Father James William Taylor was a gardener. I do have other children they were born earlier at Arundel. They seem to have moved about a bit with his job.

Thanks for the lookup. I appreciate it very much.

Thank you very much Andy! I am fairly certain that he was born in France and this helps support that idea. Thank you again!

Hi Lisa J in California,

I have the image in my mind now. It was definitley VOUS!

Hope this helps you.

Cheers,
Andy in Sussex England

Hello Andy:

Thank you very much for taking the time to look.

May I ask, if you remember!, if the spelling looked like Vous, rather than Vaus? If you don't remember, I understand. (This may be the ancestor who was born in France which is why I'm curious about the spelling.)

Thank you again for looking for me. Best of luck with your searches.

Hi Andy

That's brilliant, thank you very much for taking the time to look. I'm so grateful.

Many thanks and a very Happy Christmas to you!

Hi Andy

Thanks again

Hi Lisa J in California,

I found the marriage of WILLIAM VOUS to BETTY FRANCIS. I'm afraid all that was recorded was the date, 16th March 1748.

Sorry there was no additional information.

Andy

Hi Chris,

Unfortunately, I did not see your message in time, but it's not a problem, I can soon go again.
Bear with me and I will look when I'm next there.
Regards,
Andy

Hi Maisy,

Yours is good news! I located the marriage of WILLIAM BROWN and ANN WICKS 4th (or 9th) November 1850. William was a shoemaker and his father, THOMAS BROWN was a Sawyer.
Ann's father was WILLIAM WICKS and he was a painter The witnesses were JOHN ROLF or (RELF) ELLEN/COLLEEN WICKS.
This was difficult to read but it definitiely had double ll in the middle.
If you look on the 1851 census for these names you may find them in Worthing.

Hope this has been of help to you.
Regards,
Andy

Hi Julie,

I was unable to locate any detail of the marriage of Thomas Daw and Dorothy Pierce for you.
When I next go to Chichester, I will ask to ee the original registers as some of the fiche were very feint.

Sorry I couldn't help this time.
Regards,
Andy

Hi Liza & Alicia in NZ,

I looked for the marriage of James Stokes to Maria Teesdale in the Worthing (Broadwater) registers but there was only one Teesdale listed and that was HESTER TEESDALE. I'll ask a friend if she can look on the Sussex Marriage Index for you.

Sorry I couldn't be more hepful.

Regards,
Andy

Hi Irene,

Is there any chance you can narrow this search for me as all the places you name are quite big. I looked on freebmd & found a birth record for a KATE ELIZABETH TAYLOR Dec quarter 1856 at East Grinstead 2b 117. Is this any use?

Any finer details would be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Andy

Hi Ann,

I looked for the birth of William King in the Bersted baptisms but I could not find him.

The handwritten microfiche copies were very faint but I did not see a KING.

The next time I am at the West Sussex Records Office, I'll ask to see the original register.

Sorry not to be able to help you.

Incidentally, the records were under South Bersted and Bognor.

Regards,
Andy

Andrew

If I am not too late my I please take you up on your kind offer.

Frances Stredwick
Baptism 24 March 1799 at Coombes
Father..Richard Stredwick Mother...Elizabeth

If you are able to view the actual image of the register then I am hoping there may be additional details.

Many thanks
Chris

Andrew: Thank you very much for your kind offer. If I may ask that you do look for the "Vous"/Francis marriage, in case there might be additional information, please? I will ask Corinne about the Francis side. Thank you again.

Corinne:
Thank you very much! The Vaus' mean a lot to me for various (and to others, boring) reasons. I would love to learn more about either William's earlier life, or that of his wife, Betty/Betty. I do have a (poor) copy of William's will; I know the names of their children, as well as other information. I do not know if it's possible to find Bettie's birth. Any suggestions most welcome! May I ask that you pm me, so that we don't take over Andrew's thread? Thank you so much, again. PS The Vaus' were mostly in Shipley and Horsham.
