thanks!, I'll take a look.

He married Anna in Brighton in 1832, so before registration - so there won't be a certificate.  Would there still be a record of the father somewhere linked to the marriage?

Hi Kerry,

From memory - I don't think I have.  Would they be held at Lewes as well, or available online anywhere?

cheers,
Darren

Sussex / Samuel Newton b.1805 Lewes
« on: Thursday 08 January 09 14:38 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All,

It has been a while since I posted here, so thought I might re-post regarding a brick-wall I have in case anyone out there might be able to help.

I have a Samuel NEWTON, born Lewes in 1805.  I have his descendent line to me (he married Anna-Maria AKEHURST) etc, lived in Fletching.  You can see the line at http://www.darrenroberts.net/page9.htm.

So far, I have not been able to find anything out about his birth/baptism or his parents.  The date  of 1805 and birth in Lewes come from census records.  I have checked (couple of years ago) the baptism registers at the county records office and found nothing.

Has anyone else been researching this family or can anyone make a suggestion as to where to look next? I know his next stop from Lewes was Ringmer (coachman).

cheers!
Darren Roberts

Hi Dimps - thanks for the info.

Nope, none of those surnames crop up later on.

I'll hang onto your information though - just asking, where did you get that info from?

Hi  - thanks for the quick response.

I'm at work, so all of this is from memory.

1841 census - family is at Ringmer.  Samuel is a coachman.
1851 census onwards - family in the Fletching/Chailey area, Samuel still a coachman.

I'm yet to do a trawl for Newtons in Lewes in the 1841 census. Next job I fear !

Jane - this is great, and many thanks for letting me have this info.

It's always good to make a connection with someone and to push things back another generation.

East Grinstead was even colder this morning! Apparently, nearby Redhill got as low as minus 8 !

All the best,
Darren

Sussex / NEWTON, Lewes - help !

Dear All,

Apologies to those who may have seen this appeal elsewhere on t'internet, but here goes:

I have a Samuel NEWTON in my tree, born 1805 in Lewes.  This evidence comes from the various census records for Sussex.  He died in 1888 in Fletching.

In January 1832, he marries Anna Marie AKEHURST at St Nicks, Brighton and they go onto have various children.  The end up living in the Chailey and Fletching area.

My brickwall is that I know nothing about Samuel NEWTON's parents.  I have looked at various baptism indexes - nothing.  The marriage index for St Nicks does not give parents names either.

Any ideas?!!!  I'd really love to be able to push my NEWTON line back a generation.

cheers - Darren, in East Grinstead

Hi - i have a Rapley in my tree as well.

All I have is a Fanny Rapley, marrying James Longhurst on 19th April 1831 at Capel. Fanny was born in Capel - that's all I know !

They had a daughter called Sarah born in 1832.

Does this tie in with anyone else?  I would really appreciate learning more about who Fanny's parents were plus any more history !!

cheers - Darren, in a very cold East Grinstead.
