All within walking distance of Cowfold.

An ancester of mine, Annie Horn Sims (b. 1869, Cowfold) - daughter of Geo. & Emily Sims, married Arthur Woolven b. abt 1868, Cowfold). They had 2 children: Annie Mabel abt. 1895 and Peter abt. 1898.
The above is the only information I have re: Woolven in my ancestry. If related, I have more information for Geo. & Emily Sims' family.
Hope the above has been of some help.

There must be some connection - it seems that it's an uncommon name - but none of the names are known to me. Thanks

Are you sure it's Cowfold and not Cuckfield? Arthur Woolven m. in Cuckfield in 1893. Ref: BMD
Marriages Dec 1893
Woolven Arthur Cuckfield 2b 358
Do you have the parents names of the Woolven (b. in PA, USA) that you're researching & did they immigrate from Sussex

Yes! John Woolvin and Susan Clapp are my great grandparents! I have been doing genealogy for about 5 years. I have just recently made the connection to the next generation back in the UK...John and Ann Woolvin. I hope you are still checking this board...I would love to share information.
