Sussex / Re: Stephen Eastwood of Burwash/ Etchingham

I placed the original query a few years ago & my research has mpved on since then but i have not located anything to suggest that William Eastwood had a middle name of Nevell. I have looked at trees on ancestry where he is given that name but cannot find any evidence for this.

Thank you. She also shows up in the 1901 census as a widow in her youngest sisters home, its just very curious as to why she was at Farnham. the only link to the area is a brother Eli living in Tolworth. do you know where the workhouse records would be stored? they would have where she was admitted from, when & why? i wondered if maybe she was visiting her brother & became unwell but she survived for many years after. its very strange.
Thanks again

Surrey / Annie Harper nee Spurdle
« on: Sunday 04 June 23 17:32 BST (UK)  »
Annie Spurdle was born in 1846 in Broadwindsor, Dorset, England, her parents were Mary Ann Mullett & Thomas Spurdle. She married George Harper (1844–1893) on 10 Feb 1873 at St Luke, Chelsea, Middlesex. they had  3 children:  Lillie Florence Harper(1875–1952) Croydon, Surrey, England,  Nelly Annie Harper(1876–1960) Walworth, Surrey, England & George Frederick Harper(1878–1915) Clapham, Surrey, England. She appears to  be at Farnham Workhouse, Surrey in 1895: Farnham Union minute books Annie Harper date 3 oct 1895, accepted by poplar union without an order. P11 ref BG4.11.6.
my questions are why was she admitted to farnham & was she ransferred to poplar & if so, why? what dates was she admitted & discharged?
Thank you

Sussex / Re: Sarah Pettitt
« on: Sunday 01 January 23 16:59 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you for such a quick response.
Sarah's name is spelt differently on all documents that I have for her - Pettett, Pettet, Pettite & Pettit. I have looked at several of the different families of Pettitt & they all contain a variety of spellings. I was concerned because i could not locate anything about her between the baptism & the marriage. I will look into Samuel, see where he pops up later
Thanks for your help
Happy new year

Sussex / Sarah Pettitt
« on: Sunday 01 January 23 11:59 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to identify the birth details for Sarah Pettitt / Pettett. I believe she was born around 1804 in Sussex. She married benjamin barrow 11th April 1829 where she is 'of this parish', Sarah & Benjamin went on to have at least 7 children, she continued living in beddingham but died in Lewes at the home of her daughter Mary.
Census 1841-1871 give her birth as Southease. I have located a Sarah Pettitt baptised in Southease on 8 july 1804, parents Samuel & Lucy Pettitt but i am not sure if these are the same Sarah's although in some family trees this information is included.
any help would be appreciated
Thank you

Nottinghamshire / Re: Eleanor Dorrington, Nottinghamshire

Thank you. you are amazing again.

I have started to chart all The Dorringtons in Essex  & east London to see how they connect & hopefully also connect to my Eleanor, I have also found a John, born in Essex but later living in Nottingham - maybe a brother or cousin to Eleanor. it seems the Dorringtons also appear in courts fairly regularly! Eleanor herself is at the Old Bailey twice - thankfully as a witness rather than a convict. I think i will have many hours of Dorrington research ahead of me but hopefully will be able to remove some of the bricks in the wall - which i probably wouldn't have done without your help

Thank you
Very kind wishes

Nottinghamshire / Re: Eleanor Dorrington, Nottinghamshire

Thank you so much & for responding so quickly. 1809 would fit, the census give varying dates from 1805-1811. Eleanor is in Essex by 1829 & is in surrey, east london & sussex before dying in Hove in 1871.
I can see entries for several William Dorrington's in the Essex area so maybe one of these will lead back to Eleanor. There is a William dying in Harlow in 1826 which is where Eleanor is married 3 years later...lots of investigating to do but hopefully a step nearer to finding some answers
Thanks again
Best wishes

Nottinghamshire / Eleanor Dorrington, Nottinghamshire
« on: Monday 17 October 22 12:49 BST (UK)  »
I have hit a brick wall in relation to Eleanor Dorrington. 1841-1871 census all suggest she was born about 1805 in Nottinghamshire but i have not been able to locate her birth, baptism, family members, etc.
The first 'evidence' i have relates to her marriage in 1826 in Essex. I can track her from 1841 owards to her death but nothing of her early years.
Searches for Dorrington brought up John Dorringto born c1811 but he & his family are still in Nottighamshire in 1851, searches also brought up several Darringtons - ??related but different spelling?
any guidance for locating Eleanor /Ellenor's birth / baptism or other Dorrington family members would be appreciated
Thank you
