Hi G (Fisher) I live in Woodchurch 100 yards from the shop that Mr.Fischer had early in the 20th century. Recently I was trawling the censuses (1841-1891) to figure out who lived in that property and its neighbours. Mr.Fisher arrived there after 1901, buying the shop from a Horace Jarvis. I know an Yvonne Russell whose family bought the shop from Mr.Fisher about 1910 I think. She knows a lot about your Mr.Fisher but I am unclear what you are trying to find out. I have no more time now as I have to go off for 3 hours to fetch grandchildren for a stay here. Let me know what you want to find out and maybe I can oblige Cheers - Jon (Chaplin) -----Original Message----- From: eng-ken-woodchurch-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-ken-woodchurch-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Peter Walker Sent: 09 April 2007 09:06 To: eng-ken-woodchurch@rootsweb.com; ENG-KEN-WOODCHURCH-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ENG-KEN-WOODCHURCH] Fisher eng-ken-woodchurch-bounces@rootsweb.com wrote: > To whom it may concern, > I'm a young guy from australia researching(sort of) my > family history and as i am getting no help from my > immediate family, i thought i might call on you guys > as you seem the most likely option.

I think to get any help you would need to give more information about your immediate ancestors, names, dates etc What is the date on the postcard? The booklet "Then and Now" says that at the beginning of the 20th century, the shop at 1-3 The Green at Woodchurch was both a grocery and a drapery and was owned by Mr Jarvis, who sold out in 1906 to Mr Fisher. This sounds like the same shop.

I recently received the following message from Philip Paine. It was intended for the whole group, so here it is. I'm sure Philips's research will be extremely interesting to those of us with connections to the Paine and Bingham families. Gary -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Family tree on its way to you soon. Date: Sat, 7 Apr 2007 22:12:13 +0100 From: Philip Paine <philip@ppaine8.wanadoo.co.uk> To: <ENG-KEN-WOODCHURCH-admin@rootsweb.com> Hi, I have just completed my Paine family tree back to 1690, and what with photographs of pertinent locations such at houses lived in, churches where relatives were married and a few of their graves, the booklet runs to about 30 A4 pages. I may well include photocopies of birth, death and marriage certificates that I purchased along the way too. My grand-father married into the Shadoxhurst Bingham’s so it may well tie up a few loose ends there too. In short, I have got back 10 generations and all came from the Ashford area, with marriages occurring in Ashford (Catholic church and Methodist church) Kenardington, Shadoxhurst, Woodchurch and the farthest one back …. Ospringe (near Faversham). The only marriage outside Kent was that of my father who had to travel to Halifax to marry my mother in 1955, although this proved an ill-fated decision as they divorced in 1970. I will hopefully deliver the booklet (much of it in colour) to the museum within two weeks. Philip Paine.

From my extensive database of Holyer/Hollyer I can only find one Holyer/Pearson marriage, that of Esther Holyer to Henry Pearson on 10 May 1899 at Woodchurch. He was the son of William Pearson and Ann Weaver. If you have other marriages from the 18th century period you quote above, I would be keen to know about them.

Hi Lindsay, I have quite a few of those names on my tree. My main interest is the Kings but they tie into lots of those other names also. The earliest Pearson I have is William b 1745 Woodchurch m. Mercy King b.c1756 Woodchurch. I don't know who his parents were. I also have a rather long document on the Pain/Paine/Payne family that goes back to William Paine and Mary Fuggle who married 1746 Kenardington. I know nothing about her family but perhaps some of them connect to you? If you happen to come across her in your other research I would be very interested to know more about her. I would be happy to send my tree to you if it would be of use.

Hello Peter, >From your recent e-mails I notice you have data on your Holyer ancestors. My Turner family (Daniel & Sarah) lived on The Green Woodchurch 1843 - 1908 and their sons Charles Albert and Daniel William both emigrated to New York State.

They had two children Albert (1882 - 1934) and Elizabeth Sarah (1885 - 1969) and I have a letter that Charles A wrote to his parents in 1885 after Elizabeths death. Recently I have found another descendant in the US who tells me Elizabeth was a Holyer/Hilyer before marriage and I am wondering if you have any reference to their marriage in you data please?

This is not directly related to your Hollyer question, but there are a number of families from Woodchurch, Great Chart, Smarden, Little Chart areas who moved to western New York State about the same time in mid-1800's and they seem to have gravitated to areas where friends and neighbors had already settled. I know these include Woodgate, Harnden, Wood, Ottaway, Buss, Miles, Brown and Bourne. I'll bet you will find a connection. I know the above families settled in Chautauqua and Chemung counties (close to Olean) and also Monroe, Orleans Wayne Counties (near Rochester NY) and Onondaga County near Syracuse. Look on rootsweb for those counties as well as for the Woodchurch site! Sidenote: Did you know Olean was where they discovered oil in North America? The Seneca Indians already were aware of it.
