ggg-grandad William Vine's mill in Brighton


WWW
VINE
« on: Friday 02 June 06 09:51 UTC (UK) »
Looking for any ancestors or descendants of WILLIAM VINE, miller, born about 1782 probably in Heathfield, Sussex, died 1836 in Brighton. His youngest daughter Esther was my gg-grandmother, marrying John Henley (b.Woburn, Bedfordshire 1809). Already in touch with descendants of some his other four daughters but not yet traced any of his one son James Vine (b. about 1824 in Brighton).

Also - and more importantly, I am trying to locate (at least) three paintings. These are: (1) a portrait of William Vine, (2) a portrait of Esther Vine, (3) a watercolour painting of William Vine's windmill in Brighton. The last of these was done about 1843 by Henry Bodle (husband of Mary Vine, another daughter).  The portrait painter is unknown but could also be Henry Bodle. Paintings (1) and (3) are reproduced in an article by Raymond H Belton in the Sussex County Magazine, 1934 - but only in b&w and the quality is poor. As for item 2, the portrait of Esther Vine, I have a b&w photograph but no information on when or where it was taken.

Raymond Belton's article also mentions the existence of a number of letters which I would also like to trace, between William Vine and his daughter Mary.

Can anybody help ?
