Most of my family origionate from Kent and these are the main names that are of interest to me. If anyone else is researching the same names I would be interested to see if we are looking at the same families, espcially with respect to SEDGE which is not so common a name.
I am researching the POSSE(E) family, but have many other surnames in and around Marden, Yalding, Headcorn, Woodchurch, Sutton Valence kind of area!I have a hunch that we are related to the WALTER family (I have a POSSE-WALTER marriage) but can't find the parents of William POSSE born c 1784 in…
Hello,Is anyone else researching CASTLE, PENN, CORY, HOWARD or CLARK from Dover & Deal, Kent?Thanks,Linda
I'm interested in the WORDSWORTH, BATH, JENKS, SEABROOK, AND FRIGHT families from NW Kent who are in my husband's family tree. Most have connections with the sea either through the Royal Navy, merchant navy or ship building and were in Greenwich, Dartford, Sheerness, Rochester and Gillingham.
I am descended from the GILES and CADIN families from Hothfield. Other related surnames I am researching in Hothfield include DITTON, BRENCHLEY, EDWARDS and TILBY.
I am descended from the BRENCHLEY family who we have traced back to Wormshill/ Bicknor in the 1400s. My direct BRENCHLEY ancestors lived in Stalisfield/ Charing in the 1700s.
I am descended from the MORGAN and JOHNSON families who were living in Westwell in the 1600s/ 1700s. Other related Westwell names that I am researching include BRENCHLEY, CROUCHER, BACK, SETTERTREE, GURR and TILBY.
