Hello, Brian (?).
Welcome to FTF.
Where is the Mayfield to which you are referring? There may be more than one in the country (which country?).
Have you had a look in the FTF Wiki? there are lots of ideas and links there - many of them by place, some by name.
Have you tried the FTF GedCom matching area? You don't get access to people's trees, here, but you can see if your target name turns up on other people's trees - and you can contact them.

If it's Sussex - then there'll be stuff on the FTF Wiki, and there may be some matches in the FTF GedCom bit.
In the meantime, these links may be useful, if you haven't found them already...

Thanks all, I am sorry I have been a little vague,It is Mayfield in Sussex. I am quite far down the line in my research,Although I have'nt yet visited Mayfield I have all the cencus records for that area.I suppose I am looking to a time before cencus began I have some names going back to 1650 but there are a lot of gaps to fill,it was just an idea,after all I am a newbie so not quite up to speed with this site also I would like to submit a profile which I know I have'nt down yet,help with this would me good.

Information pre-census is mainly from parish records. As you have some going back to the 1600s you aren't doing too badly for a newbie - its further than I've managed!
What isn't online will be in the relevant county records office
