Hi,

I am researching Posse(e) and Maynard and ancestors in Kent (around Marden)

Hi, everyone. I'm probably the oddball in this group, as all my Kent connections are from the late medieval period (1300s to 1500s). So, if you have any medieval Kent ancestors, my surnames are BATE, BATES, MARTINE (MARTIN), WARD and CAULKINS.

Hi,
I have quite a few place in Kent.

Researching the following -

FIVEASH - Hadlow, Tunbridge Wells, Kent
MUNK. ISTEED - Smarden, Ashford, Westwell , Kent.

BONHAM-CARTERS here. Sevenoaks Kent.

Hi All,

I am reseaching Maynard and Lee in Kent, mainly Sevenoaks and Seal.

Hi All,
my interest in kent is Barwick, Dover kent and any connecting names..
Sharp, Boxley Kent
Atkinson, maidstone Kent

My interest is mainly Kitney and Kidney families who trace their origin to Kent. The family was originally Kidney until some Ministers in the late 1700s and early 1800s recorded some names as Kitney

I am researching SUMMERS, KENNARD and UNDERDOWN in Pembury, Brenchley, Tudeley, Capel and Tonbridge areas of Kent.

Hi guys,

I'm interested in Martin's from Kent.

Just joined this group. My surname interests in Kent are as follows: FRIEND, PATTISON, MANNERING, RIDLEY, SOLES, BELSEY, JORDON on my main lines. Other surnames include, CLAYSON, LINCOLN, MARKS, SYMONDS, HUNTER, CLOVER
Rick British Columbia, Canada

Just wondering if there is anyone in Kent (or visiting) who might be able to try and locate a birth.christening for me.
William Posse born c 1784 in Boughton Monchelsea, Kent. So far we have been unable to trace his parents, and although I have a hunch I can't prove it!

He married Mary Watson 12th October 1808 in Maidstone.
1841 census they are living in Chart Next Sutton Valence, and he died a year later - 8th September 1842.

If you can help I will be eternally grateful!

Have you tried on the FreeBMD website, Sarah? http://freebmd.rootsweb.com. It's an index giving you chapter and verse and then you can send to the GRO for the actual certificate.

FreeBMD only has records after Sep 1837 when Government registrations commenced

As well as researching the KITNEY/KIDNEYfamilies (World Wide) I am also researching HARMAN, SWAN, FRY, SMITH families in Kent. Also other families who married into the KITNEY/KIDNEY families over the last 400 years.

Yes, the problem I have is that the records I need are prior to 1837. I have also discovered that Boughton Monchelsea Church burned down, so it may be that the records were lost, so hoping someone might be able to look at the Bishop's Transcripts for me as I am not close enough to Canterbury just to pop down! If anyone has the CD 22, that covers the right area too.....Failing all else I might just buy it!

Sorry, I had no idea they didn't go back that far.

Hi to all,
Looking for connection for surnames Stedman, Steadman in Kent, Gravesend, SevenOaks, and surrounding areas. Great grandfather Robert was born in Gravesend, came to States and settled in Illinois. Thanks for help, genealogy is addicting and fun. Have pics and info if anyone is interested.

Hi, I'm Nick Miskin, I live in Kent near Gravesend and have been researching Miskins in West Kent for many years, also Knights around Stockbury and nearby villages

Hi all my UK genealogy buffs. I live in the States. Does anyone have any info on Stedman, Steadman families? I have some background on my family, but would appreciate any help. Also, and this may seem strange to ask, but what does it mean by Kentish men? Does that mean someone from Kent or is there another connotation for it? Sorry to have to ask what may have simple answer. Also what is the area like in Gravesend? I'm anxious to visit England one day.

Hi Dorothy,
A "Man of Kent'' comes from the south of the River Medway and a Kentish Man"" from the North according to my husband whose father was a Kentish Man!
Gravesend is, or was until recently, semi rural fishing port on the south coast of the Thames Estuary. But we have lived in New Zealand the past 20 years so guess it would have changed quite a bit. Have a look on Google Maps or Earth.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, Brenda. I'd better make a note of it :-) I will check it out on Google. Have a great weekend. Dot

My Gt. Gt. Grandfather William Farmer lived in Gravesend and earned a dishonourable mention in
"A Historical Walk Through Gravesend And Northfleet" published by Gravesend Historical Society; which was cited in Wombwell Hall .

The information I have uncovered to date indicates that William was far from a model citizen; but I would be interested in learning any additional details that have have led the author of the above publication to describe him “as a criminal and public nuisance” 

I would appreciate any assistance in locating
Newspaper reports of the trial of William and his son Tom at the Quarter Sessions at Maidstone, Kent 05 July 1849 or accounts of the robbery that would have taken place in the months prior to their trial
Any accounts of William's misbehaviour following his release from the hulks (18 Feb 1856 )and his death in April 1958.
Gravesend and Milton Workhouse accounts of his last years 1856-1858

Thanks in advance

II am interested in the ancestors and descendants of Henry CONSTABLE, born 16 May 1792, Chiddingstone, Kent, son of Humphrey CONSTABLE and Sarah SAWYER. Henry married 12 Dec 1813, Ann Austin; lived most of his adult life at Penshurst, Kent, and died 10 Jun 1874 at Sevenoaks, Kent.
