Hi Anne-Marie
I have printed off your request for info for the marriage uou require - next time I go to the record office, possibly next week, will look for further details for you.
Checked St John Sub Castro for baptisms for Richardsons - NILL
very unusuals that, either they did not stay in lewes or they changed churches.
There is no etiquette as far as I am concerned about the number of research requests. - Most of the information I have is either contained within my computer on a second hard drive or is in printed format near my computer, so not very difficult to access.
I am happy to share my resources with any genuine researcher.

Hi Chris
Well done Chris what a fantastic thing to do thankyou.
I know in the Church there is a WW1 Memorial Notice Board my Great Uncle's name is on it Jesse Thomas Fry he was killed 12th October 1918, Cambrai, France.
His address at the time was 17, Toronto Terrace, Lewes he was married to Ada Mary May Fry nee Gabb I know he had a child Nellie. J. A Fry born about 1817 I have often wondered did he ever see the child.
What happened to the family after this date I do not know.

Hi Chris
Thankyou for the info Chris this is fantastic news if one day I could have a scan of the memorial that would be great.

Hi Pauline
Hamsey is on the edge of Lewes:
Kelleys Directory of 1867
HAMSEY is a parish, 2 miles north from Lewes, 10 from Brighton, and 46½ by road from London, in the Eastern division of the county, Barcombe hundred, Lewes rape, county court district, archdeaconry and rural deanery, Chailey union, and diocese of Chichester. The old parish church of St. Peter, standing on a picturesque knoll, has nave, chancel, and square tower; but, in consequence of the inconvenience of its position, a new church has been erected, also named St. Peter's, for the parish of Hamsey, in its hamlet of Offham: the building is in the Early English style, and consists of a nave, double aisles, and chancel: it has a square tower, with shingled spire, and greatly owes its origin to the munificence of the family of the incumbent. The living is a rectory, yearly value £570, with residence, in the gift of, and held by, the Rev. Sir George Croxton Shiffner, Bart., M.A., of Christ Church, Oxford; the Rev. Reynold Harwood is curate. The Cooksbridge station of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway is in this parish, one mile north-west. The area is 2,761 acres, and the population in 1861 was 541.
OFFHAM is a hamlet, one mile west; NORTH END, one mile north; COMBE, a mile and a half west; HEWIN STREET, 2 miles north
The words 'Hamsey' often appear in the Registers of St John Sub Castro and South Malling
Will send you the pics if you provide e-mail address by personal message
Admin have not got the 'attachement' bit up and running yet since the update
(oopppps - yes they have - sorry Admin)

Interesting reading Chris & thankyou once again for the photos.
Now I have the correct name for the daughter I will go foward to see if I can find a Marriage for her perhaps the Mother remarried as she would have only been aged 33 when he died.

Hi Chris,
You kindly provided me with the burial date and monument photo for Catherine SETFORD, which has given rise to further questions - so what's new!
Her daughter Mary Ann SHAW is named on the headstone, and from that I see she died 3rd July 1937. Would you have her burial date?
Mary Ann married Charles SHAW in 1883 in Barcombe. He was born about 1859 in Lewes, the son of Joseph SHAW and Mary Ann. Might he have been baptised and buried at St. John Sub Castro?
Many thanks, Mandy

Chris, you are wonderful Thank you so much as you've tidy up some loose ends. I shall certainly go have a look at the headstone correspondence at the ESRO - I've never thought of looking for things like that before, so I wonder what else might there for other Sussex ancestors. Thanks for that, another new avenue to pursue. Mandy
