I am researching my CAREY family from BATTLE, SUSSEX and would like to make contact with
other researchers or family links.
My gx2 grandmother Martha Mugridge married JAMES CAREY at Mountfield ( near Battle ) on 17
October 1826. James Carey was baptised at Battle on 30 August 1805, third child of John
and Elizabeth ( nee Carter),
James and Martha lived at Battle initially and had about 11 children, and later moved to
Sedlescombe where they both died, Martha in 1880 and James in 1883. Their children were
Jane bp1827; James bp1828, married Louisa Matthews from Bexhill; Lydia bp1830; Henry bp
1831, married Ruth Beney from Crowhurst; Ann bp 1833, married Henry Metcalf at Battle,
William bp 1834; Caroline bp 1836; Fanny born 1840, Mary bp 1842; Alfred bp 1843 and
Elizabeth born 1847.
Please get in touch with me if any of this is of interest or you think there could be a
connection.
