At least two generations of my line of the Neale family were wheelwrights
(makers and repairers of wheels). In 1816 William and Jane Neale had
married in the Surrey village of Lingfield
and around the middle of the 19th century a branch of the family moved
further south to Sussex where they were connected with a series of
villages: Clayton,
Balcombe,
Worth
and Cuckfield,
where my great grandmother Annie Elizabeth Neale was born in 1876. By the turn of the century she had moved back to Surrey, and in 1903 married John Frederick Parish in Redhill. They had 3 children. |
