East Sussex memories
Green Hedges Ditchling
I wonder if anybody remembers Green Hedges. I believe it was a maternity home in 1941 as I was born there. I recently went to back to Ditchling and it is now an old people's home. My mother went to Ditchling during 1940/41 to escape the war in London. My grandmother was a leading light in the Red Cross Movement and her name was Mrs. Winder, she was a doctor's widow. My aunt also lived there and her name was Dorothy Trent. I would love to hear from anybody who remembers these people or in fact Green Hedges. Thanks.
The Turner Families of Ditchling
It's been a long struggle but we have achieved much regarding searching the family history of the Turners of Ditchling, through their exploits at winning in cricket, horse shows, vegetable competitions etc. They were based at Standean farm initially but the family spread out out into the village over a period of time, last known survivor working at the private school when it was running. Through these pages could we ask - does anybody know anything about what happened to them all? We currently cannot find the Lewes connection at all, surely they couldn't have all disappeared?
Westmeston Maternity Home, Green Hedge
I was born at Westmeston Maternity Home in 1943. My name was Jennifer Mary Pierce and my mother was Edna Mary Peirce, a nurse there. She gave me up for adoption in 1943. Does anyone know of her, or anything about Green Hedge? My name now is Bridget Turner.
The Beards of Chailey Green Shop
My family were the Beards from the shop on the green next to the church. They had the shop from around 1754 to around the 1930s. George Beard the first was good friends with Thomas Turner who kept a diary, he recorded eleven colourful years of life in a Georgian village. Anyone who remembers them please keep in touch, I would love to hear your story. My grandmother was Evelyn Emma Beard / Kirkham.
Thanks for your help.

Beards
My family the Beards used to run the mill in the 1800s. They also had the shop on the green which was there for over three hundred years.
Conyboro School, Cooksbridge
I went to school here in 1979-1985. Loved being out in the country. We had fun going to visit the farms. And walking to Lewes. We had taken part in the Lewes bonfire night parade every year. I also went to girl guides in Barcombe. And did amateur dramatics in Lewes.
1861 - 1891 Hilgay, Keymer Road
Clearly not my memories! My ancestors, Frederick and Charlotte CHAMPION and their nine children lived at Hilgay, Keymer Road, Keymer which I read is now a Nursing Home. Frederick Shepherd CHAMPION was a Solicitor. He is my first cousin four times removed.
Are there any decendants of Frederick CHAMPION still in Keymer? Any Champions at all? Please, are there any photos of Hilgay? Does anyone have any knowledge of this family or the Solicitor's Practice he worked for?
Many thanks.
