Lewes Birth Lookup
« on: Friday 30 April 04 17:15 UTC (UK) »
Chris, I would appreciate a lookup in Lewes for Caroline Sayers, b.11 June, 1823.  I'm trying to link her to Thomas and Louisa Sayers, but there's a bit of confusion on the IGI site.   With thanks, meg

Hi Meg

Just had a look on the IGI site

Event(s):
 Birth:  11 JUN 1823    
 Christening:  18 FEB 1824   Old Chapel In The Cliff-Countess Of Huntingdons, Lewes, Sussex, England
 
See what you mean by the confusion.

Will try to sort it for you

Chris, If you get the opportunity during your visit to the Record Office this week, I would be interested in the clarification of the place of christening for Caroline Sayers. 

With thanks,
~meg
(PS - Wasn't too sure how to post this request - if it should be separate..?  Hope I haven't confused things... )

Hi there Meg

Well, I found this at Lewes this morning

Sayers Caroline, bapt 18th Feb 1824, born 11th June 1823 daughter of Thomas & Louisa Sayers of Brighton, St Thomas, Lewes.
(Countess of Huntingdon Connection)

I did some research on what the countess of Huntingdon connection was - but I got a lot to type out, so will post it later

Do you feel a bit happier now that you have made that connection.

Chris in 1066Land

PS - I am at the record Office again tomorrow and Friday - anything else you want, please post before 9.15am, will check messages before I leave for the ESRO

Meg

The third chapel where uncertainty remains concerning the existence of registers is the Cliffe Old Chapel situated in Chapel Hill, Lewes. The chapel in 1800 was being used by a congregation of the Countess of Huntingdon Connection. In 1805 part of this congregation, led by Rev Jenkins, left to set up Jireh taking the registers with them.

Thus entries in the Jireh registers preceeding the break refer to the Countess of Huntingdon Connection.  The suceeding registers for the chapel commence in 1808, a break of 3 years. According to Horsefield, these three years were a very unsettled period, the chapel being served by a number of ministers. As a consequence, it seems likely no registers were kept.until 1808 when the Rev Joseph Kirby became the settled pastor and from this time registers were kept.

The registers end in 1837, but it is not certain whether the chapel had ceased to be used. Information in the register 'Never been dissolved' suggests that the chapel continued after that date but from press reports and other sources, it appears certain that between 1837 and 1868 the chapel had become the meeting place for Presbyterian congregation.

Hope that helps

Chris: Interesting stuff, thank you.  Also thanks to your 1066 website where I read more about Jireh.  I was glad to read the explanation, as the IGI entry was an extracted one and had me wondering...

Thank you again for taking the time to look into this.
