Hi Bonnie

Well I live in a city called Brighton, in the county of Sussex, but in Canada there's a town called Sussex in the county of Brighton. So that doesn't mean mnuch! :-) I can just imagine the original inhabitants "It all seems like a dream now since we left England... Was Sussex our county or home town? I can't remember..."

If you look at the article at the URL you'll see it refers to Gloucester and London. I didn't read every word but it seems it's in England
