[You don't give a name] Branches
If you have been reading about thse marriages, then
you will be aware that this was to become an extremely
complicated business following upon the Marriage Duty
Acts of 1694 and 1695. Since the only 'rule' was that
vows had to be exchanged (by a boy as young as 14, a
girl as young as 12, with parental consent) - a
binding contract: no need for a clergyman, or
witnesses (although it was normal for both, since the
church, family and friends all desired it)).
An irregular ma
My aunt just sent me a picture of my great grandfather's second wedding to a
Violet Gladys Stickland in the summer of 1916. I can identify great
grandfather and and my grandmother and her sister. I suspect the others are
the bride's siblings and parents. I found their family on the 1901 census.
They are listed as:
Arthur Stickland age 30, born Worthing Sussex
Alice Stickland, age 30, born Worthing Sussex
Arthur Stickland, age 8, born Worthing, Sussex
Violet Stickland, age 6, born Worthing, Sussex

The following note to a newspaper in North Carolina will serve to report progress on the Vines and variants DNA
project.
My surname is Vines. I live in Australia, a descendant of an old family in North Wiltshire, UK. Recently I had a
DNA test for genealogy purposes and with my results the testing company informed me that I had an exact match with
Mr Samuel Mingia of North Carolina. An internet search of the 1880 US census showed that both names, though not
very common, occurred in several counties of NC.
Thought I'd throw my two-pennyworth in!
"Planet-struck A blighted tree is said to be planet-struck. Epilepsy,
paralysis, lunacy, etc., are attributed to the malignant aspects of the
planets. Horses are said to be planet-struck when they seem stupefied,
whether from want of food, colic, or stoppage. The Latin word is sidera"
The above came from the following site -

I regret that Stephen does not appear in the 1851 census in either Brighton
or Hove.
Hannah and Anna are virtually synonymous - it is very easy to attach a
degree of rigidity in name spelling today which was very different in an age
where a large proportion of the population were illiterate and had to rely
upon those who recorded the name to transcribe it phonetically.

How about:
- Kicked in the head by a horse
- killed by a falling object (meteorite)
or are these some archane names for some disease or congenital condition? I
can think of a politician or two that could benefit from the first.

Would anyone have any details on apprenticeships in the Pulborough area
?
I believe that an apprentice was indentured to a Thomas BACKSHALL in Nov
1744, from the Pulborough settlement papers, I was wondering whether the
trade was a cordwainer/shoemaker.
Many Thanks

I have done some research in the Rye, Sussex area and there a quite a number
of BULL's listed there. I believe they were quite a common family name in the
surrounding area. It seems like they were quite a wandering crew - My BULL
connection ended up in Bristol....... might be a place to start.
Below are some of the BULL's from the 1851 census for East Sussex
This is from June Barnes' wonderful CD collection.

Hi Mandy,
Are you missing any other EMERY's?
I have a Ethel Beatrice VINCETT born 1881 in Hastings, Sussex that married

In my continuing efforts to trace my G-grandfather George ROBINS, b. c1848, I have not been able to locate him in the civil birth index. However, I found in the 1851 Census Index for East Sussex that there was a George CLAPSON, age 2, the grandson of the head of household Henry ROBINS, a widower. Henry's daughter Susanna ROBINS (18) is also in the household. It would appear that George was Susanna's son.
Does anyone have any information about CLAPSON families of the Heathfield area, and might perhaps have
I would be most grateful if someone could check the 1851 census index for
Broadwater and Worthing for the name PLEASANCE (or PLEASANT(S)).
Anyone with this surname would be of interest. I am especially hoping for
the family of
Charles and Martha PLEASANCE (children included Frederick, George and
possibly Kate (born 1851). There may have been another son, Charles. Also
David PLEASANCE was probably living in the area and may have had a wife and
family with him.
Any help would be much appreciated. I would b
Has anyone come across Samuel MANN (b.c.1811, Mayfield) and/or Sarah Ann

They were not at Buxted, but could have been at Lindfield, or possibly

Thanks Julie. That most certainly is Emma's first born. It looks like she had a skeleton in her closet. I will see what I can do with this information.

Hello again Sandra, yes I had found this one and he looked a good fit so I
tried Hastings Registry Office but his father is not an Edward - so back to
the lab, ho hum!
Do know who might have Burwash PR's to hand as I've just got another lead
from the 1901 but he's not on the index at Hastings probably as he was born
in 1838 his birth was not registered.
Nice to hear from you again.

p.s. your e-mail address bounced back for some reason
I cannot recommend a site either, though I can suggest a useful book:
M. Beswick, "Brickmaking in Sussex, a History and Gazetteer", Middleton
Press (Easebourne Lane, Midhurst, West Sussex, GU29 9AZ, tel. 0730-813169),
1993.
This was written for the Sussex Industrial Archeological Society and
contains details of methods, places and people.
