Jones/Stonestreet family of Salehurst/Etchingham

Thanks to Conygar and Andrea for their responses.

I don't know anything about Reginald Stonestreet but given that he was born in Robertsbridge I guess there is probably a connection somewhere.  Do you have any more info about him?

There is a death registered in Jan. quarter 1882 at Ticehurst ref 2b 75.  Richard Jones age 67.
Reginald is a son of James and Emily Stonestreet.  They are in Salehurst on the 1881 census.   There are two James, age 5, in 1851.   One is with parents Ward and Ellen and the other with Solomon and Mary.    They are both from Brightling.  HO107 1636 Folios 454 and 438

I have no record of either Ward or Solomon, which explains why I did not know about Reginald either!

Looks like I have a lot more Stonestreets still to find.  The name does not seem too common outwith the Sussex area, so I expect they all connect somewhere.

I can now confirm that the SMI is in error. Actual original parish record indicates RICHARD as the first name. ( LDS #1067300  It.2; M.1812-1836)

Hope this clears up things.

Hi Legacy

Thank you for this - it makes things much clearer for me.  Perhaps the person compiling the index got the first name of one of the witnesses confused with that of the groom!

Thank you for the details regarding Reginald Stonestreet.  I did not previously know about Reginald - do you know the date of the info that you provided and who Reginald's parents were?

I guess I now need to find where Ward Stonestreet and Solomon Stonestreet, who are mentioned by Sillgen, fit into the scheme of things.

Oooops!  Just realised Sillgen has already given Reginald's parents>

Hi Ian

Thanks for this.  I did not have Saul's marriage so this is very useful to me.
