Hopefully someone can find Esther on the 1871 to help confirm where they were born. I wonder if it is Kingston, bad hand writing could make a K look like an R

I think this is Agnes birth

Births Sep 1877
Hassell Agnes Mary Lewes 2b 163

Thank you Selena that is definitely the family.
So were mother and daughter born in Kingners,Sussex and not Ringer,Sussex? as I have no knowledge of either places.
Pity the mother died in 1912 but I have some information to work with.

Thanks again for your help
