      2. Email from Val Bray [mailto:valjoy.bray@yahoo.com.au], July 20, 2006: "Dear kerry, my 3xggf was Walter, a brother to your Cornelius I. I have been tracing the family in England (to Australia) and might have some information for you. The parents of Cornelius and Walter were Edmond and Ann Bartholomew who were married in Folkington parish on 21 Nov 1771. He is shown as ORSBOUND. Ann was bapt.there on 21 Sep 1750 (she died aged 80 in Arlington 5 Oct 1820). Her parents were John Bartholomew and Ann Kyd who were married in Folkington on 18 Oct 1747. Also bapt. there on 28 Mar 1773 to Robert (this is an error - should be Edmund as there are no other Osbornes in the village) and Ann Orsbound a daughter named Dinah. Dinah and Cornelius married a brother and sister - John and Sarah Coleman in Arlington whose parents were Thomas Coleman and Ann Bartholomew (a relation?) who married on the 3 May 1771 in Hailsham. I have other information on this family if you would like it."

      CHRISTENING:
      1. Source of christening and burial information from extracts of the Registers of Arlington Parish Church, Sussex, England from 1700 onwards by correspondence (copy on file) of 30 Nov 1953 from George Mitchell of Berwick Rectory, Nr. Polegate, Sussex. Cover letter reads: "In reply to your request for information about the Osborne family, I have searched the Registers from 1700 onwards, and find the entries given on the enclosed sheet. It is unfortunate that the marriage entries are so few, but it must be remembered that marriages usually take place in the woman's parish, and there is no means of finding out where this might be apart from inspecting the registers of the district. I have no record at all under the name of Daw; Con Osborne is married to Sarah Coleman in his 24th year, but if this is the Sarah who died in 1806, he may have married again between 1806 and 1813, though for the reason given the marriage would not be in the Arlington Registers. I have an older Register going back to 1609, but I have not searched this; it is in latin, and would take some time to go through... There is no one of the name of Osborne in the parish now, and my oldest inhabitants cannot remember any family of this name. The parish, which still covers about 24 square miles, was twice as large until 1845, when a 'daughter' parish was carved out of it, and it may be that there are entries after this year in the records of that Parish... If you are interested in 'your old Church,' I may say that it is an unusually fine one, and dates back before the landing of the Conqueror..." He also notes: "It is more than likely that 'Osborne' and 'Osborn' are the same family, and 'Edward' and 'Edmond' may be the same person."

      1778 Dec 20, Walter, son of Edmund and Ann Osborn.
