Storrington

Hi Sandie

You are right that not all children were christened - don't I know it from several strands in my own family And of course non-conformist baptisms need considering, but they are more difficult to find.

Good luck

Stovepipe ...Is there anywhere I can actually see the actual wills? I know there are some on that Canadian libraries site but I think they may well answer the question about the Storrington lot for me. As John had the Anchor Inn there may well be a will which may tell me of other children other than Elisabeth...Also the will from Slindon..Katherine was married to Phillip (vicar clergy) of Slinfold and they had children....I can fit Phillip in the family tree as the furthest back I can get is Goring 1583 to a vicar there. The times are kind of the same and I would assume that they were brothers but can't find whom they came from. Maybe looking through the older records will help in this.

I hired a film from Goring through the LDS church and that went way back but my John MYSTYAN being vicar there was the earliest there. So they may have come from somewhere else....

There are a load of Mustion/Mustian and MUSTYAN births, marriages and deaths at St Giles in London earlier than my 1583 but I can't link them in so have them as an extras file in case I ever get evidence to include them.

John and Sarah are still keeping me awake at night trying to figure out who the heck they were.
