I have just come across your message on the Ancestry Search board, reference a Jane Sussex and George Cayser. Jane Sussex is my 6th Great Grandmother, and George Cayser is 6th Great Grandfather.

Are you still searching the family of the 1600s. I have just come across them in my Family History Searching.

Sussex Family - Weare Giffard / Little Torrington

2011-09-15 20:57:33Z

I am interested in Mallford Sussex who was born in 1744 in Little Torrington. According to the IGI his mother was Mary Sussex, no father mentioned. I wondered if anyone who has seen the registers for Little Torrington may know anything about him or her. He went on to marry & have children in Weare Giffard, the name Milford/Mulford seems to have become a bit of a fixture in their families.
Any information would be welcome. I'm assuming that somehow this links up to the Abijah family I have read about on this board.

thanks so much,
Louise

WARDSUSSEX — 2011-07-26 00:09:19Z

Hi Sue: You may have already heard from Bill Sussex who is my 1st cousin and we are descended from Thomas Sussex who immigrated to Canada in 1832?
We were just recently able to trace our family back further.
Thomas was descended fro Wm. and he was descended from Samuel and Samuel, hence Wm. from Samuel.
Perhaps too much of a coincidence.
Bill Sussex was the son of Wm. Sussex who was my ist cousin. Our common ancestor was Herbert Winfred Sussex, my grandfather and Bill's great grandfather.
I live in Clarkston,Mi.
We learned a great deal from the Marcus family whose girls got somehow got tangled up with the sussex men.The girls aalways keep better track of the family.
Herbert(Fred) was descneded from Alfred, Elias and Thomas.
Warmest regards, Ward

SUSSEX Family - London 1600's & earlier

goldengirlynnl55 — 2011-03-15 15:57:34Z

I have traced this line of my family back to St Botolphs Aldgate, London where William Sussex born circa 1590 was a 'Joyner' (Carpenter) living at Tower Hill with his wife Mary. I know his father was Edward Sussex also a Joyner. I am now looking to go back further or expand, but have hit a brick wall. Any help out there??

I am interested in William Sussex, son of Thomas, who came to NZ in 1893, and served as a Methodist Home Missionary between 1894 and 1898, and later on from 1926-1936. He died in Auckland, 1.3.1960, having lived at Takapuna for some time - where he was an active church leader.
I have a fair amount of information regarding his ministry, but would like a little more family background - I am preparing a register of those who served in the Methodist ministry in this country.
He was born in Stawell, Victoria, in 1871 - when and where exactly? He married Helena Sorrenson 4.10.1898 - where?
His father, Thomas, was a farmer at Waterloo, Victoria, in 1884; later described as a merchant. Did he die in 1888?
What are the birth and death dates for Nancy (Nancie) Wardman
Thanks, Donald Phillipps

Hi Sue,
One of my ancestors was Jane Sussex, who married George Cayzer in Little Torrington on May 23, 1693. It seems likely that she belonged to the same family as yours. I haven't been able to trace her back any further.
Given the dates and location, my hunch is that she was your Abijah's sister.
George Cayzer came from Mawgan, Cornwall, and there were Sussexes in the vicinity of Mawgan back in the late 1600s.

Hello again Terry

sorry, I didn't realise that we had been in contact before. I am amazed at how many people are chasing this particular Sussex family, particularly Abijah. I have had a good look at the records for Little Torrington held in the record office in Barnstaple but they don't give any clue as to where Abijah was born or when. One day perhaps .....

all the best
Sue

Re: Sussex family Little Torrington, Devon, England

2004-04-05 21:21:01Z

Hi Sue, We have exchanged e-mails some time ago.
I had just started researching my tree,and you were tracing your ancestry through Elizabeth Sussex I believe.
My 7-times great grandfather was Abijah but I am afraid that I am in the same predicament as you, short of getting on my bike and going down to Exeter, I have had no luck either.
I have contacted Roger Sussex in the last fortnight ( he is related through the Thomas Sussex & Jane Jones side of the Family and I know that he has done extensive research on the Sussexs) but he has not as yet returned my e-mail. If he does get in touch and there is anything I can pass on then I will gladly do so.
Regards, Terry

Hello Terry,

My earliest known ancestor on the Sussex side of the family, Abijah married Mary Burden in Little Torrington, North Devon.
Do you have any idea where and when he was born or baptised. This has been bugging me for years!

Sue

halburgert — 2004-03-24 14:46:39Z

I believe I am related to this same family. Thomas Sussex arrived from Little Torrinton, Devon, England at Prince Edward Island, Canada 1832. He brought with him, wife; Dinah Smale Sussex; children Ann b. 1821; Elias b. 1825; Mary b. 1828; Martha b. 1831; born after arrival in Canada; Elizabeth b. 1833; Thomas DOB unknown; David b. ca 1836; Stephen b. ca. 1838 and my great grandfather William John Sussex b. 1842; who married Mary Jane Currie. Thomas Sussex family moved to Thamesville/Bothwell area of Ontario, Canada, and William John Sussex family eventually moved to Detroit, Michigan, USA area until death. I wonder if Thomas, son of Thomas Sussex and Dinah Smale, is same Thomas who went to Australia in 1857. He would be older brother to my great grandfather William John Sussex, who was called Johnny by family members.

Hello Sue,
I am a member of this family - great grandson of Thomas who was great grandson of Abijah. Thomas went to Australia in 1857 ,married Nancy Wardman in Victoria in 1863 and died in Melbourne . His son Ernest came to New Zealand in 1893 and our family is still here!
Interested to hear any further research you have.
