West Sussex memories
The Ayling House
I know this house is where my great-great-grandfather Harvey Ayling was born (in 1834). The Aylings were in this house for many generations. I have a picture of this same house from the late 1800s with 2 horse wagons parked out front. Still, even today, the same house has the same Ayling family decendents living there. I even have a record of my g-g-g-g-grandpa John Ayling being a resident in Houghton dated from 1778. It could go back even more years than that.
The Hole Family
If anyone wants to share any memories or info about the family that would be great.
All I know is Charlie and Mabel Hole lived in Poling. Charlie farmed turkeys!
Charlie Hole
My Father Ted Pelling lived next door to the Holes at Yarmer Cottages in Poling and he told me that Charlie Hole worked on Ingrams Farm.
Davies Family
My family moved to Angmering on Sea when I was 14. We lived in the Dolphins with a garden directly onto the beach. I have tried to find friends from that time without success, in particular the Carty famly (of Irish origin, they came to Anmering for their summer holidays) or it could have been spelt differently. There was John, Jimmy, Ursula, Richard and an older sister who at a later date ran the Spotted Cow in Angmering village. I did meet John years later when my son was a year old, so that was in 1975. I now in France with my family but would love to have news of this family or a girl called Ann Shephard. Looking forward to some news Dawn Bernadis, nee Davies
My Grandfather
This is my Grandfather Joseph Smith and my two Great Aunts, Kathleen and Josephine. He was about 12 in this picture. They lived yards from where this was taken in the lodge at Arundel Park gates. My great Grandfather, William, was a groom to the then Duke of Norfolk (Henry) and Great Granmother, Kate, was a domestic. I have spent many happy times in Arundel and continue to visit.
Angmering on Sea Beach Huts
I first went to Angmering after the war. My grandparents lived there and we used to spend time there in the summer. In those days there were no such things as beach furniture or pic-nic equipment. We had an ex army camp bed and a rug to sit on and we had a primus stove to boil a kettle. I had a bathing costume made from small squares with elastic sewn on the back, when you went in the water it would fill with air and balloon up, so you had to squash it back in place. I was 10 before I could swim, so I used a rubber ring. I can remember crabbing in the rock pools. There used to be lots of crabs and fish to catch then. When the tide was very low we could walk out to the black rocks, said to be the remains of a church from a flooded village where there were some very large shrimps.
