Descendants of John Honeysett (born 1796)
Link to John Honeysett in the Family Groups
John was the miller at Dudwell Mill in Burwash. He died in 1855 and although there are no photographs of him there are two of his wife, Mary, who was born in 1795. The photographs must have been taken in the 1850s or 1860s as she died in 1869. A number of the photographs are on glass plates and have been colour tinted.
The following six photographs have not all been positively identified but from their context they are all of children of John and Mary and probably all date from before 1880.
Sent from Jamaica where she lived with her
husband, Dr. Edward William Major M.R.C.S.E.
I have not seen photographs of their son Edwin but this photo shows Edwin's daughter, Caroline, in about 1920.
These photographs were supplied by Sara Melville, granddaughter of Caroline Cobbett.
