Hi Marcus
You are the only one that has ever replied to my PUXTY post - many thanks.
Firstly I should explain that the name HORWOOD is my non de plume, in fact my mother's maiden name. Secondly I use an hotmail address to reduce "spam", they seem to do a good job of deleting it, or moving it to the trash can.
Now to Family History.
For many years I endeavoured to find the birth of my great grandmother Elizabeth WEEKES who showed on many census returns as being born in different places, one being Ticehurst in West Sussex. Aftr tears of research I eventually located her birth in Ticehurst and her registered name as Lizzy (aka. Lisa and Elizebeth) WEEKES. Lizzy was born in 1852 to William WEEKES and Mahala (aka.Margaret and Aley) PUXTY. Mahala was known under three Christian names which appeared common down the line to myself.
Mahala was born C 1818 to Peter PUXTY and Ann (aka.Nancy) ?????.
Peter PUXTY was born about 1791 and died 1862 at Ticehurst. Ann (Nancy) died in 1854 at Flimwell.
Peter was the son of Samuel PUXTY and Betty CHANTLER could be CHANDLER.
Are we related?. Your PUXTY ancestry would be appreciated.
