Hi, I have been researching naval family in that area and I think -I may be wrong - that Plym was an onshore base and not a ship, by the size of the crew I would say that this is the Royal Navy, there is a possibility that Stephen may - like my ancestor been in the Med. War fleet and as such may have gone down with a ship, there is a Royal Navy Museum site they may be able to help you.

Thank you everyone for your input. I am doing this tree for my Brother in law whose mother is 90 in a month or so and it is her line. I have got some way with the Pearson line ( back to the late 1700's) and they are all notable Solicitors based around the St Clement Danes and the Temple in London with pots of money, so the link to a Barrister would be understandable. I am afraid that the fathers name is quite clearly written as Emily!! I got the marriage certificate because I couldn't see a real reason why Thomas and Kate should decide to go down to Kent to get married ( and of course my own line comes from the Thanet area) so I was being nosey as much as anything!! Kate as far as I am aware was born in the Nottinghill area of London/ Middlesex according to the 91 and 1901 Census. There is a slight possibility that Kate may have been pregnant at the time, their first child also called Kate was born in the March quarter of 1888. The witnesses don't seem to give much of a clue, the names are not very clear but appear to be Amy Miller Webb/Ward and Charles Henry Carter. The Webb, if it is Webb, may be a connection to Thomas Pearson as his mother was Ann Riley Webb. The name Ada is good though as it is a name which runs down through the family. I will certainly see if I can contact the poster you mentioned Andy and thank you very much Susannah for trying at the library for me, yes please if you find you have time to check at Canterbury, I would be very grateful Thank you again everyone for your suggestions Best wishes Jackie

Yes, sorry, you're quite right. I managed to split my research into 2! Kate is on the 1871 with Ada Mary WEBSTER (b1857 Kensington), and Clara [Edith] WEBSTER (b1863 Kensington). Ada is on the 1861 with Edwin and Sarah Ann WEBSTER. If it was my decision I would get the birth cert of the Kensington Kate Emily WEBSTER as that would then confirm that this is the right lot of WEBSTERs. On RootsChat.com there is a suggestion that Sarah Ann WEBSTER died in 1865. I couldn't find Edwin from a quick search either as a death record or on later census from 1861.

I'd found the same Kate in 1871 but was considering her with John as the father. Now I think Edwin more likely considering Ada. The Kate Emily birth certificate is probably right and would be the answer if Jackie wants to be sure. A quick check of 1881 on Family Search gives an Edwin born in Lambeth (but in 1836) with Sarah Ann, wife born in Hampshire (but 1847). They had a son called Frederick too but again the date of birth was out. This Edwin's occupation is a Tobacconist but I suppose it could be a retirement job. Terry >Kate is on the 1871 with Ada Mary WEBSTER (b1857 Kensington), and Clara [Edith] WEBSTER (b1863 Kensington). Ada is on the 1861 with Edwin and Sarah Ann WEBSTER.

Hi Don   Kebel's Gazette 2nd February 1895   The Lifeboat in Peril The Bradford put to sea with the tug Aid on Wednesday night in answer to signals from the East Goodwin, and on Thursday evening arrived at Dover, after being out all night to a vessel in distress, having had a terrible nights experience in the wash of the sea off the Goodwin Sands. The boat is severely strained and the men, who are now comfortably housed at Dover National Sailors Home, have a very weather beaten appearance owing tot heir exposure to the severe cold. The Lifeboat and the Tug Aid proceeded to the Goodwin's in response to distress from the lightship, the light ship telephone having, it is understood, got out of order. Last Thursday night (Thursday) the tug boat Aid arrived in Ramsgate at 7.15 having run short of coals. After replenishing her stock, she will again proceed to the assistance of the disabled steamer lying near the South Sandhead. In an interview with COOPER the Coxswain of the Ramsgate Lifeboat, who has arrived from Dover, it was ascertained that the Lifeboat stood by the disabled steamer, Beacon Light, of Liverpool, when she became leaky.

Are you able to trace trace a local newspaper report of this event which I believe was carried out in atrocious conditions . I would appreciate confirmation of this incident. I have been to understand that the lifeboat was holed and had to be towed into Dover and some of the crew were frozen to their seats. Don Knight

And further if correct, there is this posting on Curious Fox site; "Looking for a Sarah Ann Billows c.1830 Marylebone, married Edwin Webster b.1830 Lambeth, 1851 Marylebone, died 1865 in Lambeth. We found the three girls, Ada, Kate and Clara, and youngest son Sydney, all boarders in 1871. The two older boys, Edwin and Henry/Harry Herbert staying as cousins with members of the Pawson and Windle family. The Stokes family is also connected somehow. Presume relationship with Billows." HTH That poster also seems to have posted on RootsChat.com so may be worth looking at that site.

Well, 'Lion Place' is almost certainly a transcription error for 'Zion Place'. Who knows what slips may have occurred elsewhere but if this is a modern transcription (i.e transcribed onto the certificate you were sent) then I suggest you query it with the GRO. They are fallible just like the rest of us! If it is an image of an 1887 transcription then you will have to look for other evidence.

Hi Andy, I'm curious - while the Edwin looks good, I've just looked at the transcript and image of the ref. below and cannot see a Kate. I was also searching the censuses but started with the 1891 looking for a father. I found a Reginald, a solicitor in Margate, but he was too young for Kate's father. However on the 1861 there is a Reginald, son of John who was also a Solicitor. On FreeBMD there is a Kate Emily Webster birth in June quarter 1861 in Kensington who could be Jackie's.

I've just read a book called The Last Ditch by David Lampe, about the Resistance organisation which was set up in the UK in WW2 in case the Germans landed. There was some information about Thanet. The Resistance group leader for Thanet was Norman Steed, a farmer from Manston Grove. The group used existing tunnels in the chalk from smuggling days as hideouts. Another hideout was under a brickyard about a mile south-west of Margate. Most of the hideouts were destroyed at the end of the war.

Dear Marie, Do you have the plot number for Richard and Susannah's grave? If not, and you have the date of death for Richard or Susannah, you could write to Thanet cemetery people at [email protected] and ask for the cemetery plot number and then who's in the next plot.
