Hello
Looking for info on the marriage of my Grt x 3 Grandfather Henry Stoffell born c1798 in Bolney.
According to the 1851 census he is listed as Henry Stoffle widower... cannot find him on the 1841 census.
There are many variations on the surname as his son Stephen is listed as Stoffell on his marriage cert to Agnes Pierce but other census lists have Stephen as Stovell, Stoffell and Stovill. On the 1891 census the grandson John W Grigson is staying with them and I know that to be correct. As a matter of note cannot find Stephen on the 1871 census.... different spelling again?
Thanks

Is this the marriage?
Henry Stovel & Lydia Saunders, both otp, by banns, 26 December 1816 in Slaugham
Any particular reason to think they may have married in Hampshire, or should I move this to Sussex? ;)

Hello
Thanks very much all you people out there... I think you might have solved my "little problem" ! My little tree has grown a few branches.
As a novice in family history (only been doing it for 12 months), I would be interested to know how you came about this particular information ? I would love to be able to find future queries myself, as part of the addiction that is known as family research is the detective work involved. This is the only addiction that I know of which is FUN !

I live in Sussex quite close to Bolney - I can confirm that Slaugham and Twineham are no more than 3miles (in different directions) from Bolney.
I only looked at the post because It 'said' Bolney Hampshire !!

Hello Mumsie
Don't know why I posted my topic as Hampshire........ one of those "senior" moments I suppose !
Interesting to note that Bolney, Slaugham and Twineham are close to each other as it serves to confirm we have the correct names that I am searching for.
Thanks

Bolney have a flourishing Historical Society who may be able to help you. When you search census records it is always useful to put in as little information as possible - especially when the name can be mistranscribed - and you then look at the possibles and are often lucky. If you put Sto* it will bring up all entries starting Sto. If you get far too many then cut the dates down or search in a specific place. If you get really hooked then you will need a subscription - only the cost of a Sunday paper each week and much more fun!

In this case, for both 1841 and 1871 census, I only used first names and birth places. 'St' looks very much like 'H' apparently ;)
