Reference RG 107/1638: Hailsham District; Hailsham Enumeration District No 3b
All that part of the Parish of Herstmonceux which lies West and North West from the boundary of the parish by Newbridge following the road from thence to the Crossways, then along the Turnpike Road to the bottom of Vines Hill from thence following the footpath to Bedlam Green then crossing the road into the footpath leading to the one from Studdens to Gardner Street, from thence to Backham Lane to the North end and from thence following the footpath to the Street Field and from thence by footpath to Chilthurst and all those detached parts of the parish of Herstmonceux (including Cowbeech, Foul Mile and Gingers Green.)
Please note:
  • These census records have been transcribed from images of the original census sheets. Whilst all care has been taken, the result is an interpretation of the original which is available at Local Record Offices, from The National Archives, and from ancestry.co.uk
  • Occupation has been unified (e.g. Ag Lab, Farm Lab, and many other such recordings are all displayed as Farm labourer).
  • The Sheet Number is as shown on the original document and is linked to a page showing all the entries on that Sheet (as well as entries from the following or previous sheet where the entry for the location covers more than one sheet).
  • In those instances where the Census entry is incorrect or missing and it has been possible from other sources to derive a correction, then these changes are shown inside square brackets, e.g. [Wife]
