Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Sompting Sussex, date of photo?
« on: Thursday 13 July 17 08:05 BST (UK)  »
Wow, Peter, that's really kind of you to have improved the pictures - I didn't expect that. I too thought early 1900s in which case, she would be my great aunt - apart from the fact that she also looks like my mum's sister. Thanks a lot!

Sussex / Re: Turner's Hill Parish registers
« on: Wednesday 12 July 17 15:06 BST (UK)  »
Thank you.
I didn't find anything on Sussex OPC.
I'm looking for the family of John Thomas Quickenden (born 1869 Burstow, Surrey) and Emma Ruth Lisher (born 1870, died 1915). They married in 1896 in East Grinstead district. Not in Worth, nor in East Grinstead nor in Crawley Down. In 1901 they were living in 3 Fullers Cottages, Worth, and by 1911 were living in 10 Mantelmas Cotttages, Turners Hill where they remained for evermore. They had 3 children born in Turners Hill in 1897, 1899 and 1908 (I have their dates of birth from the 1939 register). What I really want to know is where they married in 1896. Given the date, I was hoping to find the parish record before having to spend yet another £9.25 for a certificate. However, it is quite possible that they didn't marry in church as she had already given birth to a son a year before she married.

Hello,
Would anyone have access to Turner's Hill parish registers? I can't find anything online and am looking for Quickenden & Lucas families 1893 onwards. Thank you for any help or advice you're able to offer.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Sompting Sussex, date of photo?

This lady might be my grandfather's sister. Her name was Ellen Lisher and she was born 1857 and married Charles Grenyer in Sompting, Sussex in 1879. Would somebody be able to put a date on the photo from the clothes that they are wearing? Thank you for any enlightenment.

The Common Room / Who was ‘My boy Thomas’ in Jane Lussher’s will 1552?
« on: Sunday 25 June 17 10:48 BST (UK)  »
Good morning from Belgium.
In 1552 Jane Lussher, widow of Thomas Lussher left legacies in her will to her grandson Nycholas Lussher -  "my nevye", notably hangings, bedstead, bolster, coverlets, etc.
To her son Wylliam -  a gylt salt without a cover, plus bedstead, featherbed, blankets, linen and and hangings in her chamber.
To her son in law Richard Cresswell and his sister Mabel 20 shillings each.
“Also I wyll and bequethe to Thomas my boy whyche I broght up of a chylde 20s.”
The will was proved in 1559.

My question concerns the “boy” Thomas (who could well be my ancestor).
Mary  Lussher’s husband, in his will,  also spoke of his father’s “boy”, meaning, I think, a servant.
I was wondering if in this case, Thomas might have been an orphan child that the family took in and brought up. Would it be possible that they gave him the name Lussher?

Thank you for any enlightenment.

Yes, You're right! I had looked up 3 websites stating that Easter Sunday was 14 April in 1748. Just shows that you can't always trust what Google has to offer us!
Thank you for your reply.

Family History Beginners Board / Baptism on Good Friday - customary or not?
« on: Monday 19 June 17 14:26 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I'm not exactly a beginner, but as I don't post messages that frequently, I always have the same problem when I log in, that is - I never know how or where to send a post. I've looked at the instructions and I can't see where the moderator in red is to be found, so if anyone can advise me for another time, then I will put the reply in my favourites, so as to do it properly next time.

My question is a general one. One of my ancestors had her (illegitimate) son baptised on 12 April 1748 (in Broadwater, Sussex) which was Good Friday. I don't know what the custom was at that time in the Church of England, but I would have thought that the Minister would have waited until Easter Day to baptise the child. Was it normal practice to christen a child on Good Friday? I would have thought not... If anyone is 'in the know', I'd be very grateful to learn if it was customary or not to do so. In this case, it may well be that the child was in danger of dying (I have no further trace of him - not even a burial) and understandably it would then have been a 'private baptism'. Thanks to all for any enlightenment.
