Descendants of John Honeysett (born 1796)
Link to John Honeysett in the Family Trees
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.
