Sussex bp, mar, burs on Ancestry
 

Suddenly noticed that images are available for both East and West Sussex!

That's good news, Phoenix. I can't see them on the new and updated databases or the card catalogue yet. I've been waiting for them for a long time!

Here are some links:
East Sussex Baptisms Marriages and Burials 1538-1812
East Sussex Deaths and Burials 1813-1995
East Sussex Births and Baptisms 1813-1920
East Sussex Marriages and Banns 1754-1936 - doesn't seem to be working yet
East Sussex Confirmations 1813-1927

West Sussex Baptisms Marriages and Burials 1538-1812
West Sussex Marriages and Banns 1754-1936
West Sussex Deaths and Burials 1813-1995
West Sussex Births and Baptisms 1813-1920

Actually, I can't find the West Sussex records, no matter what I try! Can you post a link to one, please, Phoenix?

Here's one: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discovery...=successSource

And in case that was the wrong page: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discovery...=successSource

Thanks, Phoenix. I will add the West Sussex links to post #3.

lol this will force me to find out where in Sussex some places are!

At least you get a drop down list!

Off to check whether Hurstpierpoint marriages are online at all... The early ones post 1754 I suspect are in the combined register, and I'm not convinced they have been filmed. Either that, or a volume is missing :eek:

They are all showing in the card catalogue now, except for East Sussex Marriages and Banns.

I have managed to remember Eastbourne = East Sussex! Other than that I keep having to look them up.

Some information about my 10x-grandfather Edward Wood, rector of Hamsey:

I'm not quite sure why he or someone else seems to have used the page to practice writing the phrase "most loving"?

The baptism entries for his own children give extra info such as the day of the week and the exact time that they were born. Continuing the way that his father in law, Samuel Norden, had done it for his own children's baptisms.

Ancestry seem to have ducked out of transcribing some of the handwritten parish register pages if there are typed transcripts available (or even if there aren't).

East Sussex Marriages and Banns are now online!

Don't know whether this is absolutely the case, but searching West Sussex bps simply by place, the results appear in a strict chronological order, rather than at random. This makes searching so much easier!

The West Sussex baptisms, marriages and burials 1538-1812 have just been updated. I don't know what has been added, if anything.
