Sussex / Hailsham Union Question
« on: Thursday 09 November 17 12:49 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,
I have found a relative of a friend who's birth record is down as "Hailsham Union" as their district. I can only find records of Hailsham Union as a workhouse. is this correct, if someone's birth district is Hailsham Union, does that mean they were born in the workhouse or born to parents who were in the workhouse?
Thank you

I saw that thanks, was just struggling to put it into context of the data I've got on my tree. Going to go away and do some more digging :)

Fabulous, thank you. I've had a DNA test done as well, yDNA on Familytreedna and also family finder on familytreedna, but not found any cornfords yet, but I think as the Cornfords are on my mothers side, I don't think the tests I had done would show that. This info is great though so thank you.

Hi all,
I'm decended from William Cornford 1759 - 1844, he's my 5th great grandfather. I'm also at a loss to the Bellchambers link, a thread I'm trying to follow due to the rarity of the name, and thus I thought it'd be an easy path to follow, but can't find much. Has anyone been able to confirm who Williams parents were? Any help appreciated as I'm quite new to this. I have full ancestry access and access to the British Newspaper Archive, so have the tools, just struggling and I'm reluctant to just copy from other family trees, i did this before and ended up related to Henry VIII (please tell me I'm not alone in this rookie mistake?) ;)
