Some Salehurst PRs are transcribed here: http://salehurst.netfirms.com/index.html

There are some BOXSELLs, variously spelt, but they might be slightly early.

Thanks stovepipe - can't see any likely looking connections, unfortunately.

Hi there

Just to say I am emailing you privately with what I have sorted out so far. I don't know if this will help in linking up to your Boxsells, Puxtys but it's worth a go!!

Have just realised what I read as 'Bexsell' on a certificate may be Boxsell!  My ancestor Mary Bexsell/Boxsell was from Slindon, Sussex and born c1813.  Do your folk have gypsy links?   Koromo, Mercy is a popular gyspy name. Not saying yours necessarily is, but thought I'd mention it.

I just realised that there is a BOXSELL list here and just to let you know this falls under my BOXALL One Name Study, being one of the many variants that occur.  I do not have details of records back to 1813 for Slindon, Ssx.  You mention you have some sort of certificate for Mary could you possibly give me further details?  I'm hoping that there are names of her parents on the Certificate.  Are you sure she was born in Slindon?  Do you have a marriage for her that I can trace her through Census information to confirm her birth location?
Looking forward to seeing if I have the information that you are looking for.
Kindest regards

Thanks Koromo.

I know that area around the Kent/Sussex border reasonably well, having visited there twice on ancestor-hunting expeditions. I have other lines from Sandhurst and Ewhurst.

Mercy BOXSETT (BOXSELL) is a mystery - I don't think she's connected, because Mercy has never been used in the family since, and it's a family which carries its christian names in perpetuity. Ditto with Benjamin.

Hi John;
Just to let you know that Mercy BOXSELL does connect to your BOXSELL family.  I have posted details on Genealogywise if you would like me to repeat the details here please let me know. 

Also to let you know I have found your Mary BOXSELL living with her Uncle in Greenwich, Kent in 1841.  I'm still looking for her two brothers, I think I came across William but under a very different name so am trying to re-do my research to find him again.  Because the name changes so often you could find them under the various other spellings for BOXALL.

This name really connects to the BOXALL One Name Study so I did not think to check and see if anyone had added one of the variant spellings to this forum.

Hope we can make contact with each other.
Kindest regards
Ronnie

Hi.  My Mary married into a family of Gypsies, its unclear whether Mary was born a Gypsy. I obtained her maiden name from her sons birth cert, he is my direct ancestor.  Mary married in Harrietsham in 1843, her father was given as William Bexell, bricklayer. (Although they seem to have moved to Kent rapidly, as all the kids were born there.) Her birthplace is Slindon on one census, and Chichester on the other. I believe Slindon is very near Chichester?  Mary seems to have died between 1891-1901.  With so many variants of the surname, Im having trouble establishing who my Mary is descended from, I cant find a Baptism for her.  A Sarah Bexell (traveller) did have an illigitimate baby (Robert Bexell, 1825) in Surrey who died soon after birth, Im thinking they may be linked but have tracked Sarahs family down and no Mary was Baptised when the other kids were Baptised, she may have been a more distant relation. I know Surrey isnt Sussex, but if they were travellers.....  PS, Mary and Samson had children with the following names: Jecoliah, Samson, Serug, Nimrod and Timan!!  Only the eldest two seem to have their births registered.
