All that part of the Parish of Hellingly which lies West of the River Cuckmere to the Footbridge in Mr Colbran's brook leading to and past Mr Kennard's Mill as far as the West corner of Springham Wood and Southwest of the footpath leading from thence to the Road leading from Grove bridge to Marlgreen and Southwest of that Road to the Boundary of the Parish and Northeast of the footpath leading from the said bridge in Mr Colbran's brook past the Southside of the Churchyard and on to the Broad Field and from thence to the Boundary of the Parish, [including the Churchyard, the Vicarage, the Broad, North Street, West Street and Amly].
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]
