Find your ancestors in Sussex monumental inscriptions, Herstmonceux & Friston

Each record comprises a transcript of the original register. The amount of information listed varies, but the records usually include a combination of the following information about your ancestor:

• Name
• Birth year*
• Age at death
• Death year
• Place
• Inscription
• Number in grave
• Register reference (location)

(*) The birth year is determined by the age given at the time of death. In the past, age was not as important as it was today, and remembering a person’s exact age was not a priority. Therefore, for some records, the age at death is an estimation and could affect the calculation of your ancestor’s birth year. To help search for your relative, remember to use the year variation option.
