Hi Everyone

Hope I can join this thread.

I have Paine/Paynes from Lingfield Surrey who must be related to the East Grinstead Families.

Richard Pain m Elizabeth White 22 June 1690 in Lingfield, but I can't find any trace of him before that, I'm sure he crossed the county border.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks
Pauline

Hi Pauline and welcome

My Paynes were in Lingfield a lot later on but seemed to cross the border from East Grinstead and West Hoathly, I've only got back to 1700, they may have come from Lingfield in the first place.  So it is worth checking both those places too.

Of course not forgetting that Lingfield is very close to the border with Kent also and they may have gone that way - Edenbridge for instance or Marsh Green which is literally down the road from Lingfield is in Kent.

Lingfield is a beautiful village with a lovely church and a fantastic library but a pain to research

Hi pauline ,

                The payne families from east grinstead, Lingfield, kent etc are quite interesting to research, I think there are 30 diffrent payne/pain/paine familys overall, I've been researching my paynes for 3 years now, Ive also got back to 1700, my lot come from East Grinstead and before that from Chichester. My 2 x great granddad was Edward Payne who was born in East Grinstead in 1815 he married a Elizabeth Young born 1813 in Horne Surrey, which is bout a mile up the road from Lingfield, their lived in Crowhurst near Lingfield from 1841 to bout 1861 at the brickfields there, Edward was a Brickmaker, and when the family moved down to Warlingham surrey, with my great granddad Eli Payne, edward owned two brickfields in Warlingham and Eli Carried it on afterward his dad died.

Hi Sarah

Hope you are well!

Interesting that, because my Paynes were brickmakers.
