My Dadswell Ancestors
Firstly, I must give my thanks to Barbara Nethercott and
John
Dadswell (1877-1934), who have provided me with the bulk of my Dadswell family
history. John was the son of David Dadswell and
Mary Streatfield. John's work on the Dadswell
family history has been lodged with the Sussex Archaeological Society in
Lewes, Sussex.
My link is with a 3x Great Grandmother,
Frances Dadswell, who was born, married and buried in Wadhurst,
Sussex. Frances married
Nicholas Barham in 1835, 2 years after the birth of their first
child.
It has been suggested that our earliest known Dadswell ancestor was from
Gloucestershire and that he settled in Rotherfield, Sussex in about
1589. However, I wonder.... just over 5 miles west from Rotherfield is
the tiny Sussex hamlet of Duddleswell. There is also a Duddleswell
River and Duddleswell Manor, which by 1650 was within the parish of East
Grinstead.
