SUSSEX OPRs.
I am trying to acquire birth and marriage records pre 1837 for BARBER family members for the county of Sussex. I have found transcripts under PRTSOC.FRONTIS for parishes such as Chichester, but how do I acquire copies of the actual parish records for any births and marriages. I believe John Barber was born on 9 August 1817 and baptised on 17 August 1817 at Falmer, Sussex, (St Lawrence Church), but when I attempt to search for Falmer, I am unsuccessful. Hoping someone can point me in the correct direction such as how to find the relevant Parish Clerks. Many regards SOJAR

I checked Sussex opc for you, and strangely there are no births for Falmer (St Laurence Church) but there are marriages and burials.

Not sure how you would get original transcripts perhaps if you ask the opc for Falmer he may know
OPC for Falmer

Thank you for your prompt reply. I will attempt to contact the Sussex OPC for Falmer for further assistance.

Falmer baptism records are on SFHG site for members - your details are correct, he was the son of William and Henrietta.

I would imagine the original parish records are held in the East Sussex Record Office at Lewes, if you can't get there yourself you'll probably need to employ a professional researcher to do so for you.

Actually the East Sussex Record Office has relocated - to Falmer!

Hello
I can check the archives on my next visit to the East Sussex archive centre, The Keep, which was relocated to Falmer just on the outskirts of Brighton. The Sussex family history group is located inside the new building.The actual village of Falmer is very picturesque and only a short distance away (it is tiny). I'm there most weeks 😃.

PHENO, Thank you for your assistance.
Unsure whether I am replying in the correct manner, have hit "Quote" as I could not readily see how to reply to you. Hopefully "Post reply" will get it to you.

JULES,
Thank you for your prompt response. Your offer to check the archives would be much appreciated as I live in Adelaide, South Australia. If I wish to obtain records of his parents' marriage William Barber and Henrietta Eagle in Racton 1816, are you able to suggest how I would best go about this?
I have a feeling that I am not replying in the normal manner but could not work out how to do it easily so I have hit the "Quote" reference.

HI JULES1066
Several months ago (APRIL) we shared a forum re look ups for a marriage in the BARBER family in the Sussex county.
Just wondering if you are still able to assist me in this matter.
