Hello Listers

My roots are set down in Withyham and Rotherfield and in the 1851 census my
ggggrandfather's address was merely shown as 'edge of forest'. My
grandfather was the first to move away from the area and that was only as
far as Brighton.

If you visit my site you can follow my line back to John ASHDOWN who was
baptised at St Denys, Rotherfield in 1704 and married Mary Ovenden in 1729.
There were several 'Johns' around at that time and I have yet to establish
which of three ways back is the correct one. Perhaps someone can help!

My thanks to Mary for sticking her head above the parapet and starting this
list. May it grow to be the definitive Ashdown record.

Seasons greeting to you all and I wish you a peaceful and productive 2004.

Regards

Mike Ashdown
