Post by: Royal British Legion Shoreham on Monday 03 September 18 05:39 BST (UK)

I am fairly new at this Family History subject, so would welcome any information about two streams of my tree I am researching.
Fuller Family - based in and around Shoreham by Sea
Knight Family - based in an around the area of Pulborough

Welcome to RootsChat! ;D

Some names and dates would be helpful?

Foe example, there are nearly 100 Fuller people is the Steyning area in 1901 ::)

And a warm welcome to Rootschat from me.

Probably the best starting point would be to pick one ancestor and ask for missing information.  For example:
My grandfather Andrew Anders was born in 1900 in Andover.  He had a sister Annie. Can you help me find his parents?"

There is also a Surname Interests table (click on "surname Interests" 2nd row second column in the brown box near the bottom of the screen).

All the best
Philip

Knight is a very common name in that area, I know, I have some, more details would indeed be helpful.

Hi,

From the 1785 Land Tax Records

Pulborough
Mr Thomas Knight owned and occupied a house
Mr Philip Knight owned a malthouse and a building called Key?
Mr Daniel Knight owned lands called Hoal

New Shoreham

William Fuller occupied a house owned by John Edwards.
William Fuller was also a Riding Officer (I think to do with customs & excise)

Might be of interest!
