John. My Great Grandfather was Thomas Roberts whose mother Mary Roberts married Albert/Edward Gillett/Bacon (as the Bacon family of Ore also used the name Gillet). Thomas married Lizzie Deacon and all my Deacon family were travellers from Sussex and Hampshire. Is this the same family as yours? Paul
Paul Sorry about the delay in getting back to you, had a problem with my system. Well the photos are of my grandfather and aunt taken in Ivory Place Brighton. My grandfather Charles was born to Rebecca Mears who married Charles Bacon in Hasting/Ore in 1880 Charles then married Louisa Deacon in Brighton, Louisa's Parents were William Deacon born Ripe and Elizabeth Willet born Brighton. I have a copy of the photo of Dianne Bacon but until now have not been able to put a name to it. Please let me know what other info you have. I'm stuck with Martha Mears who I believe was Rebecca's mother, can't find a birth place for them. It is possible they were in the East Grinstead area?
John Thanks for the reply. I have not really traced the Mears family as my interest is in the Deacon and Bacon family. Charles Bacon is the brother of Edward Bacon who married my 2xGrandmother Mary Roberts. I do have lots of information on the Deacon family though as William who married Elizabeth Willett father was Thomas Deacon who i believe was the brother of my 3xgrandfather James Deacon. I think they had another brother as well called William Let me know if your are on Ancestry and i can give you permission to see my tree Paul
Paul Thanks for the info. Yes I would be interested, however I'm not on Ancestry but I will be able to access it at the library in Worthing where I live are any of your family who live here interested, if so maybe we could get together. I do have a photograph of Louisa Deacon/Mears. I will look it out and post it on the site or you could let me have your email and I'll send it. John
John I will start a conversation with you and give you my email address. I have lots of photographs of William and Elizabeth Deacon family. Out of interest my avatar is of my Deacon and Rhoades family when camped on Trundle Hill above Goodwood about 1893. My 2xGrandfather Frederick Deacon is standing, his wife Susan nee Rhoades sitting with John Deacon in her arms and my 3xGrandfather William Rhoades sitting in front Paul
Could William Mears/Martha Mears nee quested married 1/12/1823 Bonnington, Kent, also listed in the 1841 census at Withyham Sussex be the parents of Rebecca Mears married to Charles Bacon Ore/Hastings 1880?
