As most of you will know Graham and I are based in southern
Scotland and this is the area which we concentrate most of our research. We do
however branch out from time to time as families have a habit of moving around.
Most recently I was looking for parish records from Sussex. I came across the
website of James Brockhurst Publications and thought what he offered was so
good I would tell you about it.
Like many of us James began out of a personal interest in
genealogy and from that grew an idea of making Sussex family history research
less time-consuming by providing easy to read transcriptions.
One interesting feature which I have rarely seen in England
is, where possible, baptisms and burials have been cross-referenced and the
maiden names of the child’s mother has been included to assist you further. Such details are included as “helpful hints”. References to the images of the original
register pages means you can even see for yourself.
Most of James’ publications are just a pound. You pay via PayPal
and he will send you out the PDF file via email.
So if you’re researching in Sussex now have a look but if
you’re not bookmark www.sussexgenealogy.org.uk
for future reference!
Maxwell, you are right this is very difficult to maintain public records, because people move from one county to other county. England used helpful hints as mandatory fields for genealogy records.
