I am hoping to find assistance or information on searching land records.
We are looking for Deakins from Sussex or Kent. We have a diary entry dated 18 Oct 1902 that states the following...
"Grandma Leach was born in the town of Sussex, Kent County and came of a very old English family who had a large estate there and they and their ancestors had lived there for centuries and still there as Grandmother Leach hears from them occasionally."
Elizabeth Deakin b. 1810
Married William Leach b. 1778, Surrey
Daughter Elizabeth Leach b. 1830, England
They arrived in New Jersey apprx. 1831. She and her husband settled in Nottawasaga Ontario.
Any help with information on Deakins in this area would be much appreciated. I will be happy to assist in any further details that may help.
Sincerely, D Leach
