We are receiving an
increasing number of requests from people who are researching their relatives
and their birthplaces in this area. Unfortunately many of these requests are so
complicated or just plain demanding that we are unable to carry out the
necessary research ourselves. Therefore we will publish here without charge, any
genealogy or local history requests for the Horsted Keynes area. If you can help
the enquirer please reply directly to them.
If you would like us to
publicise your request for information please send us an email - state first the
surname of the family in which you are interested, then summarise what you want
to know, finishing with a contact email address. We are asking for requests in
this style and order so that the Internet search engines can easily identify
your request and thereby make a helpful reply more likely.
Please send requests to
webmaster-at-horstedkeynes.com
and no other address.
If you don't want to publicise your main email address just use one of the easy
to get free addresses from yahoo, Hot Mail etc. that you can dispose of when
your search is ended. Thank you.

JANE SHERLOCK
Has anyone seen the grave or heard of the
burial site of Jane Sherlock, wife of Lashmer Sherlock, who died about
1810 - 1815 in Horsted Keynes? She was baptised in Horsted Keynes in
1765, the daughter of Thomas and Anne Best. Lashmer Sherlock died in
1869.
I cannot find any record of her death, so If you
come across her date of death, please could you kindly contact me at:
email: sciler@hotmail.co.uk

John Martin
I am a
descendant of John Martin, born in Horsted Keynes before 26 May 1795. He was
the fifth son of Thomas MARTIN died 15 Dec 1829 Horsted Keynes and Sarah
CONSTABLE, who also died in Horsted Keynes. 14 Jun 1826.John was convicted
of stealing a sheep in 1818 in the Sussex assize and was sentenced to death,
but the sentence was commuted to transportation for life to New South Wales,
Australia.
Martin siblings
to John include:
Thomas MARTIN (1786); Richard MARTIN (1790), Edward MARTIN, (1791) Mary
MARTIN, (1797) Martha MARTIN (1799)
Henry MARTIN
(1801), Maria MARTIN (1802) all christened in Horsted Keynes, so it seems
that the family lived in this community for some time.
John went on to
become a respectable and successful farmer in the Paterson area of
Australia.
As there were
many brothers and sisters of John, I am seeking information as to whether
any Martin descendants still living in or around Horsted Keynes today.
I am
willing to share information about John’s many descendants in Australia
should anyone wish for more information.

The brother of one of my direct ancestors
attended Horsted Keynes (or as he spells it Kaynes) school in 1841.
Through research I believe that he was nine in 1841 and have come across a
letter home just before Christmas
"We
shall break up on the 24 and the duties of the School will be resumed on
the 3 of January 42"
He also confirms that the Ellis's were there
at the time as he finishes:
"Mr
and Mrs Ellis present their respectful Compliments"
The writer of the letter was a William Gibson
and his parents were James and Hannah Gibson. He had one brother
James and five sisters Ann, Harriet, Alice, Hannah and Susan.
My direct ancestor is Alice and I would love
to know if she attended this school. Also I know very little
about Williams parents so would love to know if the school has any
information on them.
Regards
Di Oxford

I am trying to find out about the
BELLCHAMBERS family from Horsted Keynes. My research has taken me back
to a James Bellchambers born around 1716 in Horstead Keynes. I believe his
parents were named John Bellchambers and Mary Longley but I have
no further details regarding these two. Although I do not know the name(s)
of any spouses I do have information regarding 7 children (Ann b.1737,
George b.1738, William b.1738, Mary b.1747, Elizabeth b.1748, Francis
b.c1761 and James b.c1764) some of which I know were born in Horsted
Keynes and others I know were christened in Hartfield. His youngest son
James I have as marrying a Mary Hubbard in 1778. I also have possible
information regarding a marriage to a Mary Voice. My family descends from
this James Bellchambers and eventually moved to Kent but I am looking for
any information regarding all branches of the family
