Hello - I've just seen this post, and as it's a few years old I wondered if you'd got any further with your search?  I ask because I have an ancestor called Clark Crosskey (b. c. 1812, Rye, Sussex) and haven't been able to discover his birth or parentage.

Thanks for any help.

Great to hear from you - but....NO! i've got no further I'm afraid    I'm convinced she is Clarks sister but have never found proof of any of them.

Thanks Gents

Great efforts - I like both of those 

Kind regards

hi

Yes we assumed that far back we may find a Huguenot connection & there was a Rev Simond, although he goes back to Holland quite soon after, so not sure that'll end up being helpful.

On his marriage cert is only the fathers name , however the witnesses are Josephine Libret & Ernest Champret de buci. On the 1901 census in London, both are living next door to John. Ernest says he's from France but a B.S..his family are born in Africa. Josephines born Africa B.S and her children are born in Cape.

Ernests wife is called Constantina??? or Canastine?? we wondered if that could be John's auntie on the Simon side or perhaps Ernest os his uncle on his mothers side?? Obv some connection. Also John names 2 children Ernest (the 1st one dying) so he was obv fond of him.
