General:
The families of Stripp and Shirley tend to very interconnected with marriages between them and also the families living adjacent to each other. The families tend to be based around the Surrey/Sussex border at Copthorne, Horne (Frogit Heath) and Blindley Heath. Looking at the parish map one can see that the parishes of Tandridge, Godstone & Horne all merge at this point and also are adjacent to Worth & East Grinstead. Frogit Heath is actually in Horne & Godstone parishes and Blindley Heath is actually in Horne, Godstone, Tandridge & Lingfield parishes. The location is some distant from the actual villages of Tandridge and to a lesser extent Godstone. Thus it is likely that the family ancestors arise from Sussex.
James Stripp (Streape):
In the 1851 census James was described as a labourer as he was on his son William's marriage certificate. James died from a diseased heart & paralysis and was shown as a farm labourer at that time (source 9).The informant was James Shirley (see family ref 10).
Edward Payne: (see family ref 4A: Information supplied by Peter Weaver & Source 9)
Edward Thomas Payne was verger of Copthorne Church from the time is was built. He died one winter Sunday night when tolling the bell to summon the parishioners. He slipped on the tiled floor and banged his head. He died a few days later on 17th December 1906 ( source: Payne Family Bible ).
He is buried at Copthorne, but not sure where. Also buried there are two of his children, Martha and Ernest. His son, Charles was also the verger.
