Hi Erin

I have already replied to your other posting for this family "Abiah Harris nee Baldwin" dated 26 January.

I was intrigued by this thread, in particular the reference to the Wilce family, as I have 153 of them in my family tree. You say your grandparents were Levi & Elizabeth Wilce. As Reporter has suggested, you can check Parish Records on this site, indeed Slowhands has already shown quite a number for you.

I decided to check if Levi & Elizabeth Wilce have any connection to my Wilce's, but to no avail. I did however find 2 items of interest to you, which can be found within the Parish Records :
Baptism: Levi Wilce 29 May 1853 Ruardean parents Thomas Wilce & Selina
Marriage: Thomas Wilce Collier Full Age, to Selina Wilce Bootmaker Full Age Spinster 17 December 1842 Ruardean.

From my own records :

1851 Census East Dean
HARRIS Milsom 40 Coal Miner East Dean
Abiah Wife 42 East Dean
Abiah 12 Scholar East Dean
Cornelius 10 Scholar East Dean
Thomas 8 Scholar East Dean
Lucy 7 Scholar East Dean

1861 Census East Dean
Mildon Harris 55 Coal Miner East Dean
Abia 52 East Dean
Lucy 17 teacher East Dean

I would be interested to learn the link between Milson Harris & Abiah nee Baldwin and Levi Wilce & Elizabeth Bradley.
