Essex Completed Lookup Requests / Deptford Dockyard & Workhouse Records
« on: Thursday 25 September 14 16:39 BST (UK)  »
A William Riggs worked for 5 years in the "clerkline employ" at Deptford Dockyard c.1780. There is also a burial for a William Riggs, Master of the Workhouse at St Nicholas Deptford in 1796.

Could these be the same man? Are there any dockyard or workhouse records which would help prove it?

Sussex / John GRANTHAM, Smuggler of Horsham & Member of the Mayfield Gang 1721
« on: Monday 22 September 14 14:24 BST (UK)  »
John GRANTHAM was a Horsham smuggler and member of Edward Jarvis' "Mayfield Gang". He was perhaps the one baptised in Horsham on 30 Mar 1687, married in 1713 and was still living in Horsham in 1721.

Does anyone know any more about his life or what happened to him? Where and when did he die and what happened to his two sons John & George; did they follow him into smuggling?

The 1633 Visitation lists a single person as "of Hedg". Is there anywhere in Sussex that this could be?

Does anyone know how the old name Ughtred is pronounced? It is also spelled Oughtred and maybe Outrey.

Anthony Dod of Edge is listed in Visitations as having been knighted after the Battle of Agincourt. See:-

Does anyone know of any other evidence for his being there or where to find out about his role in the Battle?

Thanks.
