I am researching the Boys family from Alciston, Sussex, and I would guess there are likely to be connections with the Alfriston, Berwick, Hellingly and Selmeston Boys. My particular interest is Henry Boys (my great-great-grandfather) born 1841 in Alciston, son of John and Elizabeth Boys. His siblings were Mary Ann, Ellen, Esther, John, William and Caroline. By 1851 John Boys (snr) has died and Elizabeth is recorded as a 'lime-burner's widow on parish relief', still living in Alciston. In the subsequent 20 years, I have lost the family, but by 1871 some of the children have reappeared in London - Henry is a metropolitan policeman, some of the sisters are living in the Marylebone area of London and a brother is in Limehouse. I am trying to ascertain connections with the other Boys in the Alciston area and any London links. Any help would be appreciated.
