Hi Everyone,

I have only been tracing my family tree since September 2007, as whilst clearing out my parents house I found numerous birth, death and marriage certificates. One of the certificates was my Great Grandmother Original birth certificate dating back to 1866. My fathers side originated from Rudgwick in sussex and the family name is Cheesmore. My Great Great Grandmother was called Caroline jackson and lived in Motts Cottage on Tidmans Common in rudgwick (I have a painting of the cottage from the days she lived there). I have managed to trace Caroline Jacksons Parents names to George jackson who was born in 1801 and charlotte (maiden name unknown) born in 1811, I know they were both born in Sussex but that is all the information I have at the moment.
I found out about your website at the show at Olympia last weekend where I met the 'Daft Bat'.

What a wonderful find in your parents' house! I too have bodies from Rudgwick (Pickett and Strudwick) so I may see you on the Sussex forum here: http://www.british-genealogy.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=139

Have a good rootle round and post your stumbling blocks.

Enjoy the forum,
