HI, me again!

Are you a member of the Sussex Family History Group, they now have a database on their website for parish registers and I know Lindfield are on there but its only accessible to members. 

If not I'll have a look for this family when I get home tonight.  I'm currently at work!

Just had a thought as he lived in Reigate there isn't a chance it could actually be Lingfield in Surrey rather than Lindfield in Sussex could it?

Yes I've just seen the 1851.  Oh well it was a good thought but never mind.
