Hello Evelyn,
You asked in the previous post about viewing parish records at Henfield - I did this only two weeks ago. They weren't on disc - I spent a very profitable hour and a half in the vestry going through the actual books - some of which had been lovingly transcribed by hand from the originals by some very dedicated person. The vicar and churchwarden were very helpful.
I was looking for my Chown(e) ancestors, my grandfather's mother was Charlotte Chowne of Henfield, b 1885, daughter of George and Ellen Chowne. George's father was Edward, born in Hull in 1804. One of Edward's other sons was Nicolas Spelzar, b 1853 in Henfield, he had a son also Nicolas Spelzar, b 1878 in Henfield.
I have only just found this forum so I am still digesting the other Chowne / Spelzar connections given on here. I have not got any further back than Edward so far.
Regards
Richard Cornwell
