Find Ancestors

Wendy, thank you very much! Most of the Vaus' in that area were directly related to my family, or their cousins. Also, seeing occupation of butcher might actually be a piece of a puzzle between the Vaus' and another line. Thank you again. :))

Lindsey, that you for the suggestion. Will search both with google and your suggestion.

Hi Wendy,

My Harriet Attwater was the daughter of Joseph Attwater & Mary ??,she came from Lower Beeding.

Hi Tenerife Sun,
Thanks very much for the offer.I have discovered a big connection to Horsham with my Mersh family.Could you please check 1844 for a John Mersh please? I have him as baptized there and just want to confirm that parents are Abel and Elizabeth. Will sort out my tree for other questions as most of my info has come from Family Search for the others.

Many thanks
Krystyna

Hi Tenerife Sun,

Sorry a little late in saying thank-you for checking the name Beverton.
Appreciate your time,

Best wishes,

Hi

I wonder if you would be able to find any Tanner's amongst your Horsham parish records.

Harriet Taner born 1816 Rusper or bap or marriage as not sure if this is her maiden name as all her children were given this name but she married in 1871 to the father by the name of Smithers!

or

Henry Tanner and Martha Denyer who may have had children John Tanner 1805, William Tanner 1811 and connect them with the following

Edward baptised 8 Aug 1813

Mary baptised 13 Aug 1815

Martha baptised 23 Aug 1818

Thanks


Alison
