Good morning. I would love to know more about the history of my home... who lived in it in times gone by.... changes that have been made to it ...etc...etc... My sister (who is as daft as a brush!) said to Google "1891 Census" but that didn't get me anywhere useful. Has anyone any useful advice for me???

Advice ? don`t dis your sis . Try the Sussex record office and Sussex Archaeological society - both near the Castle . I`ve got a book somewhere ( Readers Digest ) about the history of the home - I`ll see if I can find it .

... Google Laughton Colony and you`ll find me

Go to the local section of the Lewes library where they have a copy of Kelly's from the 1800's that tells you exactly who lived inyour house going back over generations.

The county records office has moved from The Maltings, behind the Castle. All records are now in The Keep, newly opened by the Queen, at Falmer. They will be very helpful.
