|
| BANKS
| Ann BANKS married Thomas COMBER 1796 at Lindfield. Ann was born at Keymer, her parents were James BANKS and Anne GILLAM who married at Albourne in 1768. James was the Blacksmith at Keymer when he made his will in 1819, he died in 1821 at the claimed age of 84, his wife Anne died in 1823. The origins of James have not yet been discovered, he was not baptised at Keymer. It's possible that his parents married at Nuthurst in 1734 but they seem to have left there after 1737 without having had a James baptised.

Another probable non-ancestral branch of Bridgers were based at Tillington. John BRIDGER married Mary HENLEY 1762 at Petworth.

An e-mail contact revealed the origins of Thomas FITNESS who married at Chiddingly in 1693. My contact found Thomas mentioned in his father's will. His father was John FILTNESS who was the Miller at Mayfield, and he described Thomas as a Blacksmith. Thomas also left a will and described himself as a Gunsmith. My contact found that Thomas was probably born at Wadhurst in about 1666, son of John and Dorothy (née BONNICK) who married at Rotherfield in 1655. John was probably the son of another Thomas. Another contact has now given me much more information extending this line back more generations. Many thanks to my contacts for sharing their information.

John Hope claimed to have been born variously at Dover (Kent), West Firle and Bexhill in about 1801.

|
| KELLUMS | Also as KILLAMS and probably as KILHAMS etc. Sarah KELLUMS married Peter HOLDEN 1739 at Northchapel. Sarah was probably baptised as KELLME in 1720 at Northchapel, daughter of John and Elizabeth. John and Elizabeth had four other children baptised at Northchapel between 1716 and 1727 but their origins have not been investigated. KELLUMS and the various alternative spellings are very rare in Sussex, some KILHAMS appear at Bury in the 1800s but their origins are also not known and there were none at Northchapel then.

|
| LONGHURST | Hannah LONGHURST married Henry HOWICK 1702 at Wisborough Green. Nothing else known but I suspect that she may have been the daughter of Philip, possibly of West Chiltington or Billingshurst. LONGHURST often appears as Songhurst due to problems with reading old handwriting.
|
| LOVE | Mary LOVE married Daniel COURT 1654 at East Dean and at Singleton. Nothing else known.
Also non-ancestral. Ellen LOVE married John HENLEY 1870 at Littlehampton after having John's illegitimate daughter at Petworth.

James and Charlotte had Jane in 1850/1 but this was not the Jane PARKER born 1851/2 at Pulborough who married John DOWNER 1873 at West Chiltington. This Jane was the daughter of Charlotte, widow of William. Jane named William as her father at her marriage but it seems unlikely.
|
| PEACOCK | Non-ancestral. James PEACOCK married Hannah BETTESWORTH 1784 at Kirdford. They had 14 children many of whom moved to Petworth. Descendants married SMITHERS 1804, BOXALL 1811, FORD 1815, AYLING 1817 at Cocking, MARSHALL 1819, BATCHELOR 1822, HOLDEN 1822 at Fittleworth, TYLER 1823, MARINER/HILYER by 1844, WOOD 1850, HUNT 1856, BOWYER by 1859, SAUNDERS 1865.

|
| REYNOLD | Mary HILL (née REYNOLD) married Thomas GATES 1644 at Woodmancote. Mary may have been baptised 1621 at Woodmancote, daughter of Edward REYNOLDS and Ann [COSTEL] who married 1604 at Woodmancote. I have no proof.
|
| RIDDELL | Elizabeth RIDDELL/RUDDELL married John CHEESMAN 1733 at Bury. There are two possible sets of parents for Elizabeth in the immediate area.

Also, Rosetta ROSER married Aaron DOWNER 1841 at Brighton. Rosetta was born c1820 at Lindfield, daughter of Richard who was born c1790 at Lindfield. Possible that these two Roser lines were related?
|
| SHARLEY | Probably also as SHIRLEY. At Slaugham 1711 on. William married Mary SHEPHERD 1711, Elizabeth married John GILLAM 1741, both at Slaugham. Too many possibilities for William Sharley/Shirley to know earlier line.
|
| SHEPHERD | Mary SHEPHERD married William SHARLEY 1711 at Slaugham. Too many Mary Shepherds baptised at Slaugham and in surrounding area to know earlier line. If my research is correct then Mary is my earliest ancestor reached by following only the female lines back. This would mean that I would share mitochondrial DNA with Mary and with anyone else who can trace their maternal lines back to her.
|

| SOTCHER | Also appears as SACHER, SATCHER, SOCHER. At Petworth 1568 on. William married (unknown) by 1566, Richard married Rose HURST 1588, Richard married (unknown) by 1618, Robert married Elizabeth by 1650. Ann Sotcher married John CARVER 1679 at Sutton, after she was widowed she then married William LANGLEY 1691 at Sutton. Ann's brother John SOTCHER was Steward to William Penn of Pennsylvania, USA.

| STARKINGS | Non-ancestral here. A co-descendant from Norfolk, Benjamin Starkings married Louisa PEARCE at Hove 1840, they had two children at Brighton before moving to London. One-name Study of all UK STARKINGS and STARKINS in progress.
|
| STENNING | Sarah STENNING married James WELLS 1774 at Shipley. Nothing else known.
|
| STEVENS | Ann STEVENS married Joseph HENLEY 1798 at Northchapel. Joseph and Ann had six children at Petworth from 1800 and Ann was buried 1813 at Barlavington aged 43. Ann was probably related to the William Stevens who married Joseph's elder sister Mary Henley 1795 at Petworth. William Stevens and Joseph Henley were both of Kirdford at their marriages but there are no suitable baptisms for an Ann or William STEVENS at Kirdford on the IGI. There was a suitable STEVENS family at Northchapel who had both an Ann and a William. The parents were William and Ann (née HOLDEN) who married at Northchapel in 1766. Their second attempt at an Ann was baptised in 1770 which is a perfect match for the age of Ann HENLEY at her death. William STEVENS senior's burial entry at Northchapel suggests he was born in 1743/4 but there were no STEVENS families there then. The IGI has a William STEVENS baptised at the adjoining parish of Lurgashall in 1743 but this possibility has not yet been investigated.
|
| TRIBE | Non-ancestral. William TRIBE married Harriet BUNGARD 1813 at Coldwaltham. William was born at Tillington. They had seven children at Woolavington and Graffham. Later generations mostly lived at Petworth but one branch went to Brighton via Shoreham and Broadwater. Several of these Tribes married Bridgers from Tillington who were probably from the second non-ancestral group described under BRIDGER.
|
| TUESLEY | Non-ancestral. John TUESLEY married Sarah CHEESMAN 1789 at Coldwaltham. They were removed by court order to Burpham and had nine children there. Their daughter Charlotte married James PARKER 1831.
|
| UPPERTON | Non-ancestral. William UPPERTON married Jane HARWOOD (née LEGGATT ) 1871. They had two children at Sutton. William was born c1820 at Bignor/Houghton, son of William and Mary [KNOX]. I have an email and a snail-mail contact for William Upperton senior.
|
| VALDER | At Brighton 1884 on. Albert Edmund married Emily Louise DENNETT 1899, Julia Ethel married Edward George OLLIVER 1927. The Brighton VALDERs came from Kent. One-name study of all UK VALDERs in progress.

| WALLER | Jane WALLER married Henry ISTED 1785 at Ardingly. The widowed Jane Isted married Thomas BOURN 1787 at Ardingly. Nothing else known.
|
| WARD | At Worth 1777 on. George married Elizabeth SMITH 1776 at Balcombe, they had six children at Worth. Sarah Elizabeth WARD married John BATCHELOR 1804 at Cuckfield. George's wife Elizabeth was buried at Cuckfield in 1815. George worked as a Currier and later lived at Horsham with his second wife Sarah [WALTON, m 1815 at Cuckfield], they had two children but only a daughter survived. George died in 1823, his burial entry at Cuckfield states he lived at Horsham. George left a will, in it he mentions Mary Ann, daughter of his second marriage and George, his son from his first marriage. He also mentions an uncle Richard Ward. George's baptism has not been found but several more wills and other documents show he was the son of Jasper and Sarah. Jasper was baptised at Horne, Surrey in 1721, son of Richard and Catherine. Jasper owned properties in Sussex and Surrey, these included Birchenbridge Mill near Horsham. This mill was held in trust after Jasper died in 1786 to provide income for his wife Sarah and son George. Sarah died in 1787 and the mill was sold in 1824 after George's death to give an inheritance to George's surviving children.

|
| WICKENS | Lucy WICKENS married Charles DENNETT 1789 at Hove. The licence says that Lucy was 22. Lucy Dennett died 1836 at Cuckfield aged 72. Nothing else known for certain but Lucy may have been baptised as WIGGINS at Keymer in 1764 (born 1762), daughter of John and Mary.
