Roy,
Thanks, everyone has been so helpful here. There seem to be Hosman's and Hosmer's in Mayfield from quite early on. I have now got Edward Hosman/Hosmer born in 1801-3 in Mayfield and I want to go further back to see if the Hosman/Hosmer's of rotherfield are one and the same as they are so closely living and connected. Also it depends on what one is looking at as to which surname is used, I have found Hosmer/Osman/Hosman/Osmond/Osmon..... it seems though that the one surname that is kept early on is Hosmer. Will I have to go back through Birth cirtificates to get each head males father? I have contacted the links you gave and am awaiting a reply. Many thanks again for your excellent help and if anyone knows of a link between the Hosmer's of Rotherfield and Edward Hosman/Hosmer born 1806 please let me know.
