LEWES - St John Sub Castro

[crozier]

1841 census I've got George with father Edward (born Bolney) and mother Elizabeth at Old Malling
1851?
1861 at Fisher Street Lewes.
 1881 South Street.
My GGrandfather George Nye Peters was born 1857, Lewes, married Emily Kate Newell 1881 at Portsea, Hants.
The other children seem to be Charles Philip 1870
Frederick 1867
Martha 1859
Arthur 1874
George J  and Edgar 1879
Arabella K 1882
Mabel A 1884


But looking at BMD I think maybe there's two George Peters born in 1822, Lewes, and I may have them muddled together.
George senior sounds a bit of a lad if he really had those four partners, or could this actually be mixing up the name and families?
I believe his date of death is 1896?

Hi Chris1066,

Many thanks for the STANFORD info. The marriage ties in with what I already have - helps to confirm it, but she was definitely Selina, not Eleanor (I think this is one of those cases of difficult handwriting). The baptism is great; it tis in with the age of Frederick in the 1851 census.

Now I have to find the marriage of Edward STANFORD and Sally. Family legend has it that at one point the family was in Alfriston (smuggling brandy) so perhaps I should look there.

thanks again,

Becca

Hi Chris,

I would love to go to Lewes and have a dig for myself, but I live in Bermuda, so it's not too easy.

So, could you please have a look and see what Maginnes baptisms and/or burials there are. I know they lived in St John under Castle.  The ones I know of were there between 1790s and 1880s. Maybe they were there before that?

Many thanks,
Stephanie

Chris,

Terrific, thanks so much. Just about all of mine, and some of these I hadn't come across before, so that's great.

Hi, are there any Taylors?

specifically looking for David William Taylor & Emily Louisa Taylor but any other Taylors may be relatives!

they lived at 73 Highdown Road, Lewes so would they have been buried here?

Hi Toni and Backchat
Chris has just gone off on holiday for a month but I am sure he will get back to you when he is home.
Toni - if you have found your relatives in the census if you look at the top of the page it usually says what parish the road is in.   I cannot find Highdown Rd on a current map of Lewes.  What dates are you talking about?
