Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 Census for Eastbourne Look up

« on: Monday 05 September 05 23:01 BST (UK) »

Hello Andrea,

Thanx for the look up. You are quite right, Ann died and Henry married Sarah Muttitt in 1876.

I still have been unable to find Henry's first marriage date to Ann Harris. Ann, by the way, was born in Hooe, East Sussex, Hove being a common transcription error.

Thanx again for your efforts.

Peter.

Sussex Lookup Requests / 1851 Census for Eastbourne Look up

« on: Monday 05 September 05 21:02 BST (UK) »

Hello All,

Could someone please look in an 1851 Sussex census for a Henry Stevens. He would be 22. I am trying to find out if he is married yet (to an Ann, nee Harris) or is he still living at home (his father, the head, would be Edmund - his mother Hannah). The family lived in South Bersted at the time of the 1841 census, but Henry and Ann's first child was born in Eastbourne in 1855. As much as I have tried, I have been unable to find their marriage date.

Would appreciate any information you can find about this family. Thank you in advance for your efforts.

Kind Regards,

South Africa / Ernest David Stevens - Eastbourne to SA - Help

« on: Sunday 21 August 05 15:11 BST (UK) »

Hello All,

I have searched! But I still can't find any record of my GGrandfather's arrival in SA and on what ship.

He was born in Eastbourne in 1871, appears on the 1881 census as a 9 year old scholar, but not on the 1891 census.

He married a Jessie Georgina Connock in Grahamstown, SA in 1895.

I also don't have a death date for him. I know he was buried somewhere in Cape Town area before 1960.

Can anyone assist me with any of the above? Any info would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your efforts.

Kind Regards,

Sussex / Henry Stevens Birth look up?

« on: Friday 19 August 05 22:28 BST (UK) »

Hello All,

Can anyone please assist me in finding the full birth date of my GGGrandfather, Henry Stevens. He was born (abt 1829) in South Bersted according to the 1861 census for Eastbourne, East Sussex and was 32 years old.

I have also struggled to find a marriage date for him and his first wife Ann Harris, who was born in Hooe, Battle, East Sussex on the 27/5/1832.

Henry's father was Edmund, his mother Hannah Austin.
Ann's father was Henry Harris and her mother Mary Barden.

Thanking you in advance for your efforts.

Sussex / ED Stevens - immigrated to South Africa

« on: Friday 19 August 05 22:10 BST (UK) »

Hello again,

My Great-Grandfather, Ernest David Stevens, immigrated to South Africa somewhere between 1881 and 1891.

Much to my disappointment I have not been able to ascertain where he sailed from, where he arrived or on what ship he sailed.

He was 15 in 1881 and lived in Eastbourne, East Sussex.

He married my Great Grandmother, Jessie Georgina Connock, in Grahamstown, South Africa in 1895.

Does anyone have access to immigration, shipping records or passenger lists, that might be able to help me with the above.

Thanking you in advance for your efforts.

Kind Regards,

Two of my ancestors died in Hailsham and I was wondering if anyone could look for a burial transcription or a monumental inscription for these two gentlemen? They are:

Edmund Stevens - died 23/8/1878 - born 24/6/1792 North Bersted

Henry Stevens - died 11/6/1892 - born abt 1829 South Bersted

Thank you in advance for your efforts and I look forward to a reply.

Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Connock - Census look up 1851

« on: Thursday 18 August 05 07:39 BST (UK) »

Hello All,

Could someone please do a look up for me in the 1851 census for Hampshire?

I have a Frederick Connock, born 24.2.1844 to a George Connock and Sarah Gear and would like to see their household at the time of the 1851 census. I know they were married in Preston in 1843, but do not appear on the census there in 1851. I do know that Frederick married a Eliza Bessey Gandy in Southampton though in 1867. Look forward to a reply.

Kind Regards,

Peter.
