As most of the above are lists compiled from research I was doing in the 1990's for the DA301 Open University Course, and the Local History Course at Sussex University - I am still able to check them for your ancestors whilst we are inputting them into that data base for easy search & retrival

Hi Chris.

Could you please be so kind as to do a lookup in the settlement certificates in Arundel for a James William Taylor, his wife Caroline Charlotte Lillywhite after 1810 onwards.

I am a newbie so hope you can help me out.

Hi Irene

Have checked the Settlement certificates as requested - but unfortunately he does not appear in the list that I have.

Sorry

Just one other I spotted.  Arundel is West Sussex so any settlement for their would be in teh West Sussex Records Office and not Lewes

Hi madbadrob

Afraid I do not understand your comment

Just one other I spotted.  Arundel is West Sussex so any settlement for their would be in teh West Sussex Records Office and not Lewes

Just one other - what preceeded it?
Arundel is West Sussex - I never said it was in East Sussex or if I did, can you tell me where so that I can correct it please.

Incidentally, I belief that Lewes does contain a lot of the West Sussex records and vice versa - mainly from the days where they could not decide what went where and which office covered which parishes due to the boundary changes.

Hi Chris,
Please would you look at Ticehurst parishioners 1635 for any Maye/May family as I believe the Maye/May family of Wadhurst were also in Ticehurst as well as having other lands in East Sussex and Kent.
Thanks Anne

Hi Annieh

Welcome to Rootschat, I hope you find your time with us to be very productive in your search for ancestors

Just had a look throug the Ticehurst Parishoners of 1635 with the following results:

Source - East Sussex Record Office - ESRO Par.492/29/1

Anthony Maye Esqr.
Henry Maye Gente
Mrs An Maye widoe

Hope that is the kind of information you required
