I am going to try and search the Burwash electoral rolls when I can next get into the East Sussex records office.
In the meantime I have been revisiting Marion’s postcards. On one of them (the cat shop one, attached, taken from an earlier WS thread) she says “because of all of my luggage I have decided to hire a little car and have been rather brave motoring carefully around this gorgeous place”. She also says “I’m shortly off to Amsterdam and the Orient Express on 15 July”.
Sorry if this has already been discussed as I am relatively new to WS but do we know why Marion was going to Amsterdam? Was it part of her planned European itinerary? Did she enter the UK from Heathrow or Gatwick airport? I don’t think the Orient Express went via Amsterdam and it seems like one of RB’s favourite places!
Hi Aldona. The Keep in Brighton have the Electoral Roll for the years 1983-86 held under R/C 68/9/1-8. Rural wards are in name order but being so small it should be possible to view everyone on the Electoral register that lived in or around Mottynsden Manor/Lodge.
I’ll answer your other questions separately
