Hi all
I joined because i have family interests, as well as living in Sussex England, and my main family surname interest is Figg, and i hope to create a group for the surname Figg, i also have an interest in the Surname Widnall from 1900 to date from and about Thunder Bay Ontario Canada.

Hi to all members of the Sussex Group. My Interest in Sussex is twofold, firstly I live in Bosham, West Sussex and just 2 years ago I found my husbands maternal side the POPE'S lived here namely Thomas Pope who was born 1690 in Hove, Sussex, he married Elizabeth Silverlock from Bosham in 1717. I have an extensive family tree for the Pope family,going back much further who all came from Sussex, East and West, which is on a family tree website if anyone has an interest (link on my page).
I also have the Bosham BMD Parish Records if anyone needs to trace family from there, which I am willing to look up.

My other interest in the Sussex area are Macey/Macy/Masey,Worthing area and Hart from the Brighton area.

Hi. If anyone is looking into the Tullett (and it's variations) surname I have data on Births, Marriages & Deaths going back to the 1500's in Sussex and Surrey.

I am researching William Windborne and his spouse, Elizabeth Wen. They came to America around 1620 from Sussex (Beaconsfield). I have very little information other than William"s surname may have been Wenban or Wenbon when in Sussex. There are many other variants of this surname. I am interested in communicating with others who may be interest in this surname..

I think you will find that Beaconsfied is in Buckinghamshire.

Here is a great split screen map to use, i love this map, i think you will to.

My Sussex ancestors were from Mountfield & Robertsbridge. The main names are
Funnell, Jempson, Britt, Whitbread

I am interested in finding out more about Willingdon Station/Hampden Park Station and Sheffield Park Station.
One of my Sellwoods, Stephen William Henry, was stationmaster at both. I know the latter is now part of the Bluebell line, but I am keen to learn about the history of both. Any pointers, anyone, as to where to go for information?

I am researching the names of my Dad's family, HOOKER, TEMPLE/TEMPEL in Stopham and Hove.

My main research is the BOXALL (and Variants) One Name Study World Wide and I have set up a group here http://www.genealogywise.com/group/boxallandvariantsonenamestudyworldwide
for those who are interested. My own link to the BOXALLs are with the West Dean / Singleton family. I also have a Petersfield CARPENTER connection; plus TARGETT and PITT.

Thank you Laurence and David for your recent comments.

Samuel REEVES and his wife Charlotte Martha nee Kemp left the London Docks 15NOV1823 on the Ship HEROINE and arrived in Tasmania, Australia 15APR1824. This family lived at Gordon Plains now the area where Evandale is, Red Hills, and then Circular Head/Stanley with Woolnorth until the whole family came to South Australia c1839. I am a decendant of Julianna Stirling Reeves (1835-1889) their 11th child.

I have a REEVES in my family tree, do you think there may be a link?

Thomas Henry REEVES son of James REEVES born abt 1870 Staplefield? Sussex, married my paternal ancestor Bessie HOOKER.

Hello Board! My Sussex connection is through the REED name of Lewes, Brighton and Jevington areas. Samuel Reed 1795 -1857 married Susanna Russell 1806 -?. They had 12 children so there must be lots of relatives out their to find!

The sussex weald website might be worth a look for anyone looking for ancestors in that part of the county www.sussesweald.org. I have found it useful when looking for my Brooker ancestry from around East Grinstead

The www.sussesweald.org web site doesn't exist!

This should read www.sussexweald.org

My apologies for the typo!
