About The Vertue Family
Hi, I'm pleased that you have found the Vertue Web Site. Maybe your name is not  Vertue, but the chances are you will appear on the Web Site as you have been invited  by Sue Peggram and have been given a password. It is a little disconcerting to find  your photo and birth details on the internet, but rest assured no-one can get access  unless they have the password.

A family tree is always growing and I will welcome details of new additions and  likewise corrections for any errors I have made or details that I don't have. If you  don't like your displayed photo please send me a replacement that puts you in a good  light and I will change it. Also, if you have any legends that will enhance a  particular member of the tree I will welcome those.

The following publications maybe of interest:

The Pleasure boatmen of Eastbourne ISBN978-1-85770-333-7 

The Fishermen of Eastbourne ISBN978-185770-352-8 both by Ted Hide, S.B. Publications and have  been a great source of information regarding the Hides, Huggetts and Simpsons who feature  strongly in my tree and are well worth purchasing.

The third book which I have only recently discovered is Spike & Co. by Graham McCann  ISBN 978 0 340 89808 6 This will give a good insight how Beryl Johnson (Vertue) became the well known figure she is to-day.

For anyone wishing to read the full daily movements of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards of  which Arthur Vertue was Sergeant then 'The Record of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards in the  Great War 1914-1918 by Rev. Harold Gibb published in 1925 or the personal account of young  Benjamin Clouting who was in the same Troop 'The Teenage Tommy' by Richard Van Emden is a good  read.ISBN 978 1 78303 287 7



CENSUS DATES:

1841 Sunday 6 June.  All ages 15 and above should have been rounded down to the nearest 5 year  multiple, i.e. ages shown as 15 may be 15-19, ages shown as 20 may be 20-24, etc.  Another  point to remember for ages is that people often said that they "were in their 60th year"  meaning that they had passed their 59th birthday. If a person gave information meaning they  were in their 60th year, they will be shown as being 60, whereas strictly keeping to the rules,  they should be recorded as 55.

1851 Sunday 30 March
 1861 Sunday 7 April
 1871 Sunday 2 April
 1881 Sunday 3 April
 1891 Sunday 5 April
 1901 Sunday 31 March
 1911 Sunday 2nd April (including anyone who arrived in the dwelling on the morning of Monday  3rd April and was not enumerated elsewhere).  This is the first census available to the general  public showing the original forms.

For the other census, mentioned above, it must be remembered that many of our ancestors could  neither read nor write. The Enumerator left forms with them but when he collected them, often  he would have to fill them in on their behalf.  The Enumerator then had to transfer all this  information into Enumerator Books and these are the documents that we are able to access  throughwebsites like Ancestry.com and Findmypast.  The original forms were subsequently  destroyed, so there is plenty of room for error.
