Working with the East and West Sussex Record Offices, the records on Ancestry hold detailed information about the ancestors of many East and West Sussex families and are searchable by parish on the Ancestry website, with baptism, marriage and burial records available. Wendy Walker, County Archivist at West Sussex Record Office, said:
“Archives are full of stories waiting to be told and the parish registers are where so many of these stories begin. Within their pages lie the hidden lives of people in the county dating back over four hundred and fifty years. We are delighted to be working in partnership with Ancestry and our colleagues in East Sussex to make this major resource for Sussex history available to people all over the world.”
