Did you know that......In the 17th and 18th centuries, Margate was a main port of embarkation for the low countries. Several Kings, including Charles II, William III and George III, all used the port at times, for this purpose. The famous "Granville Express", which ran from Victoria to Thanet for over half a century did the journey in a little over 90 minutes in the pre 1914 period. In 1839, the great Victorian Engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, brought one of the first screw propelled steam ships, "the Archimedes" into Ramsgate Harbour. Amy Johnson and Jim Mollison came to Nethercourt Flying Ground (now a housing estate) in Ramsgate, July 1932. The Thanet Trams, a feature of the Island since the turn of the last century, made their final trips on the night of Wednesday March 27th 1937. Last cars in each direction were driven by the Mayors of the towns through which they passed, with the Town Clerks as Conductors! Westgate, in the 1870's was the first place in England to test street lighting by electricity. The Village of Sarre was once a thriving little Port and a limb of Sandwich in the Cinque Ports confederation. At Sarre was the ferry to the mainland across the Wantsum Channel. This stretch of water was said the 700 yards wide in the 8th Century and able to be bridged in the reign of Henry VII. The road from Upstreet into Sarre is built partly on an ancient wall, a causeway constructed in the 15th Century after the Wantsum Channel dried up. Birchington too, was once a member of the Cinque Ports confederation in the middle ages, being a limb of Dover. The oldest place name in the village is Brooksend, mentioned in the records 1148 A.D. Thanet's first Justice's of the peace were appointed in 1811, when an act was obtained to facilitate the execution of Justice within the Cinque Ports. Before this, all business, parochial and otherwise, was referred to Sandwich. In the reign of good Queen Bess, there were 98 inhabited houses in St Lawrence (including Ramsgate), St Peter's had 186 and Minster 53. The first "Jacob's Ladder" at Ramsgate Harbour, was erected in 1754 in order to facilitate communication with the West Pier. It was designed and constructed in wood by Jacob Steed, a carpenter, and although subsequently built in stone, still bears the name. Cecil Square in Margate, built in 1769 by several Gentleman, Sir Edward hales, Sir John Shaw and Mr Cecil, after whom it is named. Pegwell, in the mid Victorian era was advertised as "Thanet's Premier Resort". -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

On 22nd January 1807 the Times Newspaper reported that Andreas SCHOSTACK, of the 7th Battalion of the German Legion, quartered in RAMSGATE, was committed to DOVER GAOL, charged with the murder of Thomasin WARD, wife of William WARD of ST PETER'S. Another man, named WEBB, was in custody, on suspicion of being an accomplice. Norma

This report is from The Times Newspaper of 21st January 1807 On Friday evening THOMASIN WARD, a very decent elderly woman, who kept a small chandler's shop at SAINT PETER'S, in the ISLE OF THANET, was murdered on her return from visiting her daughter, who lives at BROADSTAIRS. No connection to our research, but may help a lister. Norma

Lord of the Manor is now mostly known as a double roundabout on the outskirts of Ramsgate. I can see it from my top step !! :o) It's the main road out of Ramsgate, leading to Deal, Dover & Sandwich in one direction, Haine, Margate & Broadstairs in another & Canterbury & the M2 motorway to wherever takes your fancy in another direction. Years ago, archaeologists found Anglo-Saxon burial in one of the fields & nowadays, there's often a circus there in the summer. It would have come under the St. Lawrence location - as did a lot of the other side of Ramsgate, such as Hereson. (Pronounced Here-son, not Herrason, as many people think.) What records do you have to prove your fella is Lord of the Manor ? If you could let us know, we might be able to help a bit more. It might just be that he lived at Lord of the Manor, you see !! :o) Pat.xxx :o)) A Maid of Kent, UK. Your county needs YOU !!! http://FreeCEN.rootsweb.com Looking for ancestors in Kent ? Try: http://www.kent-opc.org.uk/ www.lawrence.eastkentgenealogy.co.uk Can anyone tell me the significance (if any) of being Lord of the Manor in the 1800's? I have found a relative who was such for St Lawrence. Are there records kept of who was a Lord of the Manor, and was the title inherited? The one I am after is Edward Wales (Whales) who was born in Acol in 1797. Baptised in Birchington in 1797. Many thanks. Linda

Lord of the Manor was a small area near Monkton.
