Goldsmiths of Hellingly/Stones of Hythe

[paradise2431]

Hi Thom I was reading this page I would like to know have you gone back this far I am interested to know the rest of the family tree if you would like so share it with me I have only just found out about Thomas and Priscilla and I thought that would be as far back anyone could go. Did all the Goldsmith's on our tree come from Hailsham or Hellingly? and how far back can one go.   
Thank you Robyn

Hi Robyn,
              Thomas Goldsmith was born c 02/10/1757 in Herstmonceux Sussex, which is not far from Hailsham as you said he married Priscilla Green on the 04/06/1780 in Hailsham. Thomas was my Grtx4 Grandfather,that is all the information I have on them at the moment.
               My Grtx 5 George Goldsmith b 14/01/1724 in Wartling Sussex, his wife Sarah Hover b 07/02/1721 in Warbleton Sussex, were married on the 21/04/1747 in Herstmonceux Sussex, I have no dates of death as yet.James Goldsmith my Grtx6 b 26/04/1696 in Wartling Sussex,Married Elizabeth Potter/or Petter,on the 16/02/1719 in Wartling Sussex. I have no date of birth for Elizabeth as yet, she died on the 24/01/1744/1745 in Wartling.I have no date of death for James as yet.
               The last Goldsmith in my tree is Thomas my Grtx6 Grandfarther I have no date of birth, just his date of marriage which was 21/09/1693  ;Din Lewes Sussex, he married Elizabeth West who was born in c 1671 in Wartling.
               The above dates are from our family tree given to me some time a go
 so  some of the dates could be a bit out. I hope this is of help to you, when I have more information I will pass it on.
                                                            Kind Regards Thom

I have an Emma LUSTED born to Robert LUSTED and Catherine PERRY. Emma was baptised on 30 Aug 1801 at Heathfield, Sussex.

Does anyone have knowledge of Emma?

I have an Emma LUSTED, born to Robert LUSTED and Catherine PERRY born about 1801 and babtised on 30 Aug 1801, at Heathfield, Sussex.  Whether Emma ever married I do not know.  I believe that Emma may have passed away in 1827, and that she was buried on 04 Jan, 1827 at Heathfield.

Is it possible that Emma is the same as the Emma in your post?

Brian.

Hi and welcome
There is a marriage for Emma Lusted to Thomas Goldsmith at Hellingly on 24th Dec 1822.   Is the burial under the name Lusted ?     That would imply that she did not marry.    I have not read this whole thread so the answers may be posted earlier!

There is a burial at Hellingly for an Emma Lusted infant on 22 Jan 1801 and another in 1835 for a child age 3 months so there were a few of them around.  The Emma Lusted who is buried at Heathfield in 1827 was age 25.

I know that Robert LUSTED was baptised on 27 Feb 1820 at Heathfield, Sussex, with his mother given as Emma.  Robert married Jane COLINS between Jul and Sep 1842, at Hailsham, Sussex. Robert died in 1899. Robert and Jane had eight children.

George LUSTED b. 1844 at Heathfield, m. 1873 to Jane MEPHAM, d 1907 at Uckfield.
Emma LUSTED b. 1847 at Heathfield, m. , d. 1919 at Uckfield.
Robert LUSTED b. 14 Oct 1849 at Heathfield, m. 26 May 1876 at Waipahi, New Zealand to Emily CODLIN, d. 1900 at Balclutha, New Zealand.
Jane LUSTED b. 1852 at Hailsham, m. 24 Dec 1871 to Alfred HAZELDEN at Mayfield, d. 1932 London.
Henry LUSTED b. 1855 atHeathfield, m. 25 Nov 1877 to Emma WILLIAMS at Brighton, d. 06 Oct 1920 at Ticehurst.
Mary Ann LUSTED b. 1859 at Heathfield, m. , d. 24 Aug 1893 at Wye, Kent.
Caroline LUSTED b. 1862 at Steyning, m. 1903 to , d. 1935 Hastings, Sussex.
William LUSTED b. 1865 at Mayfield, d. 1866 at Uckfield.

The big question is; was Robert LUSTED's (1820-1899) mother Emma, actually Emma LUSTED (1801-1827), and was Robert LUSTED illegitimate?

It does look as if he was illegitimate as the register entry for his baptism says he is baseborn.  (horrible expression!)

You might find it interesting to join the Sussex Family History Group as they have a lot of online records for members only.

NZ Kiwis, my great grannys  brother died as a baby, they were Romany gypsies with the Roberts surname. The informant was an Edward Collins 'uncle', signed with a cross. Have you come across Roberts linked to your Collins? I have an extensive family tree but cant link the Collins. I should add that the places were the same, Hellingly and Hailsham.
