THE FOX FAMILY OF SUSSEX
I would like to thank Lynn McMullen for her work on the early side of the Fox family. I got a lot of the information from her Genes Reunited Tree. The marriage years gave me somewhere to start to look in my Sussex Marriage CD.I would also like to thank Ducie Hood (nee Hillman) as she gave me a lot of information on the Hillman family that I hadn't found. Also, many thanks to Rebecca Coates for additional information on the Hamper family. Another member of the Hamper family, Jason Gillam has recently contacted me with information for which I am hugely grateful.
Another huge thank you goes to Mary Jo Powell who told me that Mary Ann Peerless hadn't died when I thought she had but had remarried and gone onto have a lot more children. She gave me a lot more information to work with.

Their child:
John 21/11/1834 (c) 04/01/1835 +
I cannot believe the couple did not have a child before 1834. I will continue to look for others born before then. Seems I was right. According to Stephen Barnes, John had a son, Albert with Caroline Towes back in 1826!
John's child:
Albert Towse 1826 (c) 26/05/1826 +
Albert was baptised by his mother, Caroline Towse, only.
At the time of their son John's baptism, John and Elizabeth were living in Pulborough where John was a miller.

JAMES CROWHURST 1793-1870
Born in Hellingly, Sussex.
Christened there in St Peter's and St Paul's on 18/10/1793 +.
If I have the correct James, James married Ann Carrol (b 1794 in Stanmere, Sussex) sometime between 1832 and 1841. I have tried to find a marriage but so far have been unsuccesful. I am almost certain her surname was Carroll, going on William's middle name. I also believe the marriage probably took place in the Brighton area.
Their children:
William Carrol 1832 (c) 29/07/1832 John James 1834 (c) 01/06/1834 + Ann 1836 (c) 12/06/1836 +
At the time of their son William's christening, the family were living in Norfolk Buildings and James was a farrier.
At the time of their son John's christening, James and Ann were living in Cavendish Street West and James was a smith.
At the time of daughter Ann's christening, the family were living in Francis Street and James was a smith, as were both his sons.
In 1841 James and Ann were living in Brighthelmstone (Brighton) with their children William, John and Ann. James was a blacksmith. Class: HO107; Piece 1122; Book: 1; Civil Parish: Brighthelmstone; County: Sussex; Enumeration District: 28; Folio: 25; Page: 9; Line: 5; GSU roll: 464166.

I believe James died in Brighton in Q3 1870, aged 773.
In 1871 Ann was lodging at 12 Rock Street, Kemp Town, Brighton. This was the home of Thomas Hubbard (butcher) and his family. There was aslo another lodger named Sarah Purley. Both Ann and Sarah were annuitants. Class: RG10; Piece: 1073; Folio: 59; Page: 40; GSU roll: 827494.
I cannot find Ann in 1881.
I believe Ann died in the Steyning reg district, Sussex (that included Hove) in Q1 1883. She was 90 years old.
MARTHA WALKER CROWHURST 1795-????+++
Born in Hellingly, Sussex.
Christened there in St Peter's and St Paul's on 05/10/1795 +.
Her child:
David 1818 (c) 05/04/1818 +
I am not certain David was the child of THIS Martha! There was another Martha Crowhurst (born 1799 in Rodmell) could he have been her child? For the time being I think I will leave David alone.
Nothing else is currently known.
ELIZABETH CROWHURST 1797-????
Born in Hellingly, Sussex.
Christened there in St Peter's and St Paul's on 13/07/1797 +.
I am assuming that Elizabeth died in infancy as another Elizabeth was baptised 4 years later. I have not yet found a death.
AMELIA CROWHURST 1799-1876
Born in Arlington, Sussex.
Christened in Hellingly, Sussex in St Peter's and St Paul's on 17/04/1799 +.
Did she marry Elias Elliot (b 1789 in Chiddingly) in Southease, Sussex on 31/10/1820? (SMI) I strongly believe that she did.
Their children:
Anne 1821 (c) 02/12/1821 + Elizabeth 1825 (c) 04/09/1826 + William 1830 (c) 12/09/1830+
In all the children's baptisms, Amelia is named as Mildred but I cannot find a marriege for a Mildred to an Elias Elliot! I believe Amelia may have been calling herself Milly and the person recording the baptism took this to be short for Mildred. The opposite happened with a distant relative of her's, Mildred Fox in Hastings.
In 1841 Amelia (named Matilda in this census) and Elliott were living in Southease, Lewes with their children Anne and William. Elias was a tailor. Class: HO107; Piece 1112; Book: 8; Civil Parish: Southease; County: Sussex; Enumeration District: 4; Folio: 3; Page: 11; Line: 18; GSU roll: 464160.
In 1851 Amelia and Elias were living in Southease. There was a granddaughter named Elizabeth there that day (Anne's daughter). Elias was a master tailor. Class
In 1861 Amelia (named as Millie in this census) I rest my case were living in Rodmell village, Sussex. A granddaughter named Elizabeth Maria was there that day (parent yet to be discovered and a different Elizabeth to the one 10 years ago). Elias was still working as a tailor. Class: RG9; Piece: 590; Folio: 72; Page: 18; GSU roll: 542667.
In 1871 Millie and Elias were still living in Rodmell. Elias was described as a tailor, disabled. Class: RG10; Piece: 1071; Folio: 67; Page: 6; GSU roll: 827493.
Elias died in Rodmell in 1872 and was buried in Southease Parish Church, Sussex on 17/11/1872, aged 85.
Millie died in the Brighton reg district in Q3 1876, aged 77. This was quite possibly in Rodmell.

Sarah died at Tidy Street, Brighton in Q4 1874, aged 56.

In 1871 John and Harriett were still living Cane Heath. The niece, Isabella Lambert (company keeper) was still living with them. Also in the house that day were 2 servants named Thomas Fox (labourer) and Mark Fox (farm labourer). I am sure there must be a family connection. I need to study more.

Married Emma Hamper (b abt. 1825 in Chiddingly, Sussex) on 06/12/1843 in Brighton, Sussex.

There was also a boarder there named John Hamper (very possibly Emma's father) living there. Thomas was employed as an agricultural labourer.

Emma died sometime between 1871 and 1891, when Thomas was listed as a widower. I cannot find her death. I now believe Emma died before the 1881 census, going on the name of Thomas's wife then and Milcha, (second wife) must have died before 1891. Can't find a marriage for her yet.
I believe I have found the family in 1881, although the name of Thomas's wife and place of birth is completely wrong. Thomas and Milcha (???) were living at Prices Farm, East Hoathly, Sussex with their sons Abel, Mark and George. Thomas was employed as an agricultural labourer.

In 1901 Thomas was still lodging with William Whitbourne and his family at Shortgate Road, Laughton. Thomas was listed as brother in law of William. A bit of digging uncovered a marriage between William and Sarah Hamper. Could she possibly have been Emma's sister, hence the brother in law? Despite being 84 years old, Thomas was still working as a general labourer. Class: RG13; Piece: 891; Folio: 70; Page: 10.
Thomas died in the Hailsham reg district, (quite likely in Laughton) in Q4 1908.

According to the 1911 census, thisa couple had another 3 children who died. I must investigate them.**
In 1871 Phillis and Charles were living in Piddinghoe with their sons Charles and Richard. Living next door were Phillis's brother Charles and his family. Charles was employed as a railway night watchman. Class: RG10; Piece: 1070; Folio: 84; Page: 2; GSU roll: 827493.
In 1881 Phillis and Charles were still living in Piddinghoe with their sons Charles, Richard and John. There was also a boarder there named William Preston (farm labourer). Charles was employed as a ship's carpenter. Class: RG11; Piece: 1074; Folio: 5; Page: 3; GSU roll: 1341253.

Charles died between the census and the only death I have found that could be him was in Q1 1901 in the Lewes reg district in Sussex. This district covered Piddinghoe at that time. I am inclined this is the correct man as Phillis stated that they had been married 36 years on the 1911 census form.

Phillis may possibly have died in the Newhaven reg district, Sussex (which covered Piddinghoe) in Q1 1931, aged 86. She was named as Phyllis Combs, which I found her as on one of the cencus.

Albert had been a dealer in bread and flour prior to 16/08/1859 and had lived at 12 Richmond Street, Brighton. On 16/08/1859 he had been living at 103 Trafalgar Street, Brighton and was a retailer of beer and a fly driver. This was all discovered from a petition filed in Brighton County Court for his insolvancy.
The details read: 16th August 1859. WHEREAS a Petition of Albert Towse Crowhurst, using the names of Albert Crowhurst only, formerly of No. 12, Richmond-street, Dealer in Bread and Flour, and now of No. 103, Trafalgar-street, Retailer of Beer and Fly Driver, all in Brighton, in the county of Sussex, an insolvent debtor, having been filed in the County Court of Sussex, at Brighton, and an interim order for protection from process having been given to the said Albert Towse Crowhurst, under the provisions of the Statutes in that case made and provided, the said Albert Towse Crowhurst is hereby required to appear before the said Court, on the 20th day of August instant, at ten of the clock in the forenoon precisely, for his first examination touching his debts, estate, and effects, and to be further dealt with according to the provisions of the said Statutes ; and the choice of the creditors' assignees is to take place at the time so appointed.

There must have been a cause shown for Albert's impending bankruptcy because another notice appeared in the London Gazeteer on 21st April 1868, stating: Albert Towse Crowhurst (sued and known as Albert Crowhurst), late of the Duke of Wellington Inn, Nos. 7 and 8, Rose-Hill East, Beer Retailer, but now of Rose-Hill Mews, near Ditchling-Road, both in Brighton, Sussex, Fly Driver, having been adjudged bankrupt under a Petition for adjudication of Bankruptcy, filed in the County Court of Sussex, holden at Brighton, on the 16th day of April, 1868, is hereby required to surrender himself to Ewen Evershed, Esq., Registrar of the said Court, at the first meeting of creditors to be held before the said Registrar, on the 6th day of May next, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon precisely, at the said Court.

This bankrupcy hearing dragged on a while as another notice appeared on 08/05/1868: Albert Towse Crowhurst, late of the Duke of Wellington Inn, Nos. 7 and 8, Rose-hill, East, Beer Retailer, but now of Rose-hill Mews, near Ditchling-road, both in Brighton, Sussex, Fly Driver, having been adjudged bankrupt under a Petition for adjudication of Bankruptcy, filed in the County Court of Sussex, holden at Brighton, on the 16th day of April, 1868, a 'public sitting, for the said bankrupt to pass his Last Examination, and make application for his Discharge, will be held at the said Court, at the Townhall, Brighton, on the llth day of June next, at twelve of the clock at noon precisely,"the day last aforesaid being the day limited for the said bankrupt tc surrender.

Christened in Jeriah Church, Lewes on 13/12/1836 +.
In 1841 Benjamin was living in North Street, St Thomas in the Cliffe, Lewes with his parents and siblings Samuel, Ruth, Naomi and Joseph. (His mother was missing from the census). Class: HO107; Piece 1120; Book: 8; Civil Parish: St Thomas in The Cliffe; County: Sussex; Enumeration District: 10; Folio: 33; Page: 13; Line: 20; GSU roll: 464164.
In 1851 Benjamin was a visitor in Holmswood, Chailey, Sussex. This was the home of Thomas Hollingdale (agricultural bailiff) and his family. Class: HO107; Piece: 1643; Folio: 140; Page: 4; GSU roll: 193546-193547.
In 1861 Benjamin was now boarding in the house in Chailey. Thomas Hollingdale's wife, Rebecca was Benjamin's aunt. Benjamin's job description was farmer's son. Class: RG9; Piece: 585; Folio: 17; Page: 3; GSU roll: 542666.
In 1871 Benjamin was back living with his parents in 18 High Street, St Thomas in the Cliffe, Lewes. Also there that day was his mother's niece Esther Verral (assistant housekeeper) and 3 servants named John Gosden (shop boy), Ellen Goldsmith (cook) and Mary Jarvis (housemaid Class: RG10; Piece: 1068; Folio: 52; Page: 42; GSU roll: 827492.

Born in Lewes, Sussex.
In 1851 Ebenezer was living in North Street with his parents and siblings Samuel, Ruth, Naomi and Mary. His maternal grandfather, William Funnell was aslo living with them.

Class: RG9; Piece: 561; Folio: 154; Page: 26; GSU roll: 542662.
In 1871 Ebenezer was possibly living at 11 East Ascent, St Leonards. This census return is rather puzzling, as is Ebenezer's realtionship. It states he is brother in law of the head of the house, a Walter Balcombe (married to Jane Gower). The image clearly shows 2 thick lines underneath Jane's name, depicting the end of the household. I believe this to be true as the Balcomes were living in Harold Mews and Ebenezer and the rest of the crowd were in East Ascent. What puzzles me is that the first person listed at 11 East Ascent is a Martha Moon, listed as servant (housekeeper). No mention of a head of house. In the house with Ebenezer and Martha were a servant named Ellen Elphick and 8 assistants (shopmen) named William Benser, George Knight, James Ratcliffe, John Ditch, Sydney Chester, Arthur Boyce, Robert Noakes and Albert Dale. Ebenezer was said to be a commercial traveller. Class: RG10; Piece: 1033; Folio: 54; Page: 36; GSU roll: 827477.

Married Lydia Ann Isted Baker (b 1869 in Rodmell, Sussex) in Q3 1910 in the Newhaven reg district, Sussex. Lydia was 25 years Jacob's junior. The marriage was very difficult to find. It turned out that Jacob was on one page and Lydia on another. I am pleased she had such a strange name, made it that bit easier to find her surname and double check!
In 1911 Jacob and Lydia were living in Rodemll, Lewes. They had 2 visitors that day named Emily Martins (living on private means) and Margaret Cane (lodging housekeeper). Jacob was a retired flour miller. Class: RG14; Piece: 5083; Schedule Number: 24.

In 1871 Esther was at the home of her aunt and uncle Charlotte and George Elphick at 18 High Street, St Thomas in the Cliffe. Lewes. I domn't know if she was living there or just passing through.

There were also 3 servants in the house named John Gosden (shop boy), Ellen Goldsmith (cook) and Mary Jarvis (housemaid). Class: RG10; Piece: 1068; Folio: 52; Page: 42; GSU roll: 827492.

1851 is the only mention I can find of this person.

HENRY MUGRIDGE 1834-1911
Born in Hastings, Sussex.
Christened there on 26/02/1834 in All Saints Church.
I cannot find Henry or his father in 1841, although I have tried lots of variants, they both remain illusive.
In 1851 Henry may well have been a prisoner in Hastings jail, up at Ore. He was a labourer. Class: HO107; Piece: 1635; Folio: 290; Page: 29; GSU roll: 193538.
If this was the correct Henry, he had a bit of a past regarding breaking the law. I believe the offence for which he was in jail this time was larceny. He was convicted on 31/01/1854 and sentenced to penal servitude of 8 years.
Previous visits before the court (supposing these are all the same Henry Mugridge) where as a 12 year old boy, convicted of larceny on 03/04/1846. For that crime he was sentenced to 10 days imprisonment and a whipping. On 09/07/1852 a Henry Mugridge was discharged by ? (can't read that word) at Hastings court. On 29/10/1852, a Henry Mugridge was convicted of larceny, a previous conviction proved and was sentenced to 9 months in prison. These may not all be the same Henry, spelt Muggridge, as a Henry Muggridge was convicted at Hastings court on 17/04/1851 of larceny. I ruled this out as my Henry on the census as that was taken at the beginning of the month and Henry would not have been in jail then.
In 1861 I cannot find the family.
Married Susannah May Kemp (b abt. 1843 in Ore, Sussex) on 25/10/1863 in Westfield, Sussex. Henry was a 25 year old batchelor living in All Saints, Hastings and Susanna was 20 and living in Westfield. The witnesses were William Kemp and Anna Cornford.

In 1871 Richard was aboard the Kent ship Pelican in Dungeness, Kent. He was an Ordinary Seaman. Class: RG10; Piece: 1022; Folio: 110; GSU roll: 827472.
Married Mary Ann Foggin (b 08/02/1849 in Seaham Harbour, Easington, County Durham) on 20/12/1875 at Easington registry Office, County Durham. The witnesses were H L Beatty and Sarah C Beatty. Both couples had been residing in Seaham Harbour. I believe Mary Ann had a daughter named Margaret.
Their children:
Alice Jane 17/12/1882 Arthur 1882 George Henry 16/09/1885 James Richard 08/06/1888 Maria 1891
I cannot find Richard in 1881 so maybe he was away at sea. I cannot find Mary either.
In 1891 Richard was a visiting mariner at 3 Queens Place, Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire. This was the home of William Spurling (mariner) and his family. Also visiting that day were William Mugridge (mariner). There were also 3 boys there, named Arthur, George and John Mugridge. As these are beneath Richard, I believe them to be his children, not those of William. After a lot of investigating, it appears that Isabel Spurling was the sister of Mary Ann Foggin. I cannot find Mary Ann in this census. No sign of a William Mugridge born when and where it states so I am beginning to think William was Mary. Not sure about the job description, mariner seaman. This whole page is confusing. Is Alice actually Arthur? John could quite reasonably be James, the names are interchangeable. Boy, am I getting a headache! Class: RG12; Piece: 3941; Folio 55; Page 16; GSU roll: 6099051.
I cannot find the family in 1901.
Richard possibly died in Hull, Yorkshire in 1904.He had been living at 4 Georges Place, Coach and Horses Yard, Mytongate, Hull. The informant of his death was the undertaker. Richard was buried on 24/01/1904.
In 1911 Mary Ann was living at 9 Edwins Place, Poter Street, Hull with her daughter Alice. Also living there were was a lodger named Charles Baggley (labourer) and Alice's 2 sons Charles and Arthur Muggeridge. Class: RG78; Piece: 1651
Mary died in Hull on 20/12/1911 and was buried on 24/12/1911. Mary had been living at 9 Edwins Palce, Porter Street, Hull. Once again the informant was the undertaker.

I have studied the FreeBMD for births and deaths of Mugridge's in Hastings between these times and cannot find a birth and death that fits.

Kate was employed as a matron at a police station in Croydon. Kate also stated that she only had 2 children, still alive. The form was filled in erratically so maybe she forgot her son Fred! Class: RG14; Piece: 3305; Schedule Number: 282; .
Kate died 14/01/1934 at 369 Fulham Road, Chelsea of myocardial infection, gangrene of the extremities and raymauds disease. Her death was witnessed by her brother Henry Angus. Her death certificate states she is the widow of Percy Fox.
Several Ancestry Family Trees have Percy dying in Dartford, Kent in 1941. This cannot be so, if Kate died in 1934 (and I have seen her death certificate on one of these trees!) it would not have listed her as the widow of Percival Fox, surely. Unless this is not Percy James John Fox, but another Fox named Percival

When he enlisted, William was just 18, measured 5' 4 and 9/10", weighed 115lbs, had an extended chest measurement of 34 1/2", brown hair, dark brown eyes and a dark complexion. I don't know what scrapes William had got into when he was younger but he had a scar below his right groin, a long scar on his left calf and a scar on the inside of his left fore finger. William had been examined in Guildford, Surrey.
William's military career went like this: Attested on 06/10/1904. Posted on 27/01/1904. Posted on 07/06/1904 to the Queen's 2nd Battalion. Was granted 1 GC Badge on 06/10/1905.

While he was in Agra, William spent 9 days in hospital from 27/10/1908 until 04/11/1908. I cannot make out why as the writing is very faint at that point. While he was in Aden, William was admitted to hospital with gonarrhea. He spent 36 days in the hospital from 01/06/1909 until 06/07/1909 and received severe irrigations and salol internally.
William's record was good although he did have a few reprimands for meanial things.

The Times, 12th January 1898, Pg 13
Mr M Shearman, who appeared for the petitioner, George Edward Hillman, in this undefended divorce suit, stated that his client was a solicitor practising at Lewes, and was married on October 27, 1888, at the parish church of St Saviour, Eastbourne, to the respondent, then Olga Michailoff. The parties lived together happily, and were on friendly terms with Dr Nelson, the co-respondent, who on one occasion accompanied them on a journey to Russia. The petitioner's health subsequently began to fail and the respondent's manner seemed to change towards him, and ultimately in May, 1896, she left him, saying that she was going to stay with some friends, and asking petitioner to address all communications to her at the office of Mr Powell, a solicitor and friend of both parties. Mr Powell after this arranged some money differences between the parties, and, believing that incompatibility of temper was the cause of the separation, advised the respondent to go and live for a time with her mother in Russia. In October, 1897, the respondent called at Mr Powell's office, and told him that she wished to make a clean breast of it, and then confessed to having had a liaison with the co-respondent Dr Nelson, adding that she had left her husband for the co-respondent's sake, that he had since married, and that she would screen him no more, and that she did not care what happened. Mr Powell felt it his duty to tell the petitioner of this interview, inquiries were made, and the present proceedings instituted. On the proof of these facts, and after evidence had been given that the respondent and the co-respondent had stayed together at Southbend as man and wife, the President granted the petitioner a decree nisi, with costs.
George died in Q1 1899 in Northampton, Northamptonshire. His death and funeral reported in the Sussex Express 11 Mar 1899 and 18 Mar 1899.

Eileen M 1916 Cecil H 1918
Matthias was attested (4 years service in the Teritorial Force) into the3/1 Sussex Yeomanry in 1910. His serial number was 1304. He had been employed as a clerk by his father. Matthias had passed a primary military examination in Fokington, Sussex on 01/06/1910.
Matthias had another medical examination in Eastbourne on 09/07/1910. He stood 5' 10 1/2" tall, had an expanded chest girth of 35", good vision and he was in good physical development. He was considered fit for the Territorial Force.
Matthias completed his annual training from 23/07/1910 - 06/08/1910, 26/05/1911 - 09/ 06/1911, 24/05/1912 - 07/06/1912, 25/05/1913 - 08/06/1913 and 31/05/1914 - 07/06/1914. He was appointed Lance Corporal on 01/04/1914.
Matthias served in India and South Africa at some time during his service. He had been mobilised on 05/08/1914.
Matthias was discharged on 02/06/1916, having served 6 years and 2 days. The reason for his discharge was because he was found to be no longer physically fit for War sorties. Matthias had stated to the Medical Board that he had had rheumatic fever when he was 19 and that his heart had been weak since then. His heart action was rapid and aggrevated by service.
The address Matthias intended to live upon his discharge was 1 England Terrace, Hampden Park, Near Eastbourne, Sussex. Matthias stood 5'11", had dark hair and blue eyes when he was discharged. His conduct had been very good.
I believe Ethel died in Q4 1938 in the Battle reg district, aged 49.
Matthias then married Frances Louise Lawrence (b 27/04/1905) in Q3 1954 in the Atherstone reg district, Warwickshire.
On 13/05/1955 67 year old Matthias and 50 year old Frances arrived in Southampton aboard the Winchester Castle, of the Union-Castle Mail Steamship Company Ltd. They had travveld First Class from Cape Town, South Africa. Matthias was a farmer and Frances a housewife. Their address in the UK was Pebsham Farm, Bexhill on Sea, Sussex. They were both residents of the UK. Maybe this had been a honeymoon trip.
On 08/01/1959 Matthias and Frances sailed out of Southampton aboard the Athione Catle of the Union Castle Line. They travelled 1st class and were heading to Cape Town, South Africa. Their address was given as Pebsham Farm, Bexhill on sea, Sussex and Matthias was a farmer.
Matthias, 71, and Frances, 54, arrived in Southampton on 03/04/1959 aboard the Pretoria Castle. This ship also belonged to the Union-Castle Mail Steamship Company Ltd and had sailed from Cape Town again. The couple were still living in the same house and both were listed as doing the same jobs - farmer and housewife.
Matthias died in Q3 1971 in the Battle reg district, aged 83.
Frances died in Q4 2005 in the Hastings and Rother reg district, aged 100!
