A large number of families from Beckley, Sussex, England, emigrated to NSW Australia between 1837 to 1841.

I can't imagine what it must have been like to lose so many people from one area.

I have a list of the surnames.(see below)

I live in NSW, Australia and have access to records here.

If you would like assistance in tracing information from NSW, I an able to do it for you.

I am not looking for any kind of payment etc., but I am looking for information regarding family from Beckley, Sussex. As records from Beckley are poor, I am not able to make connections via records.

My only hope is to find people from the Sussex area who may have information that could help.

Families who came to NSW, Australia between 1837 to 1841.

Surnames:

Aukett Austin Baker Barden Barnes Barnett Bartholomew Bates Bawling Blackman Blanch Booth Bowles Bowlin Bridger Brown Bull Button Byrne Carter Catt Cavey Creed Davis Day Dennis Dewhurst Dive Dubble Dyeth Easton Edmonds Fielder Fortly Foster Freeman Fuller Gilbert Gill Gliston Gooch Goodsell Griffin Gutsell Haines Harman Hassell Jarrett Kemp King Lambert Larkin Larkins Manning Mannings Melstead Milgate Mills Millum Morgan Neaves Oliver Packham Padgham Parker Peckham Piper Playful Potter Ranger Richardson Ridley Ripstead Rootes Russell Salmer Sargent Selmes Sevenoaks Sheather Sherwood Skinner Smith Strickland Tester Trail Trenchard Trill Unicomb Upton Vaughan Vine Ward Weller Wenham White Young

If you contact me through my site, I might be able to help, as I have access to transcripts of the Beckley registers.

Click on the house icon by my name.

I may be a few days coming back as I'm on holiday at the moment, but should be able to help from next week. I'll need more specific details of the names of emigrants to work from, though, and will tell you a good site (pay, but annual subscription only about £10, can't remember exactly how much). Let me know a couple of families and we'll see how we get on.

Hi Pauline, If you have a look on the message board under the message that you answered, there is another message from me with specific information in it about my ancestors. As you can see,I do have some information, but it is not very comprehensive.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
