    3. I am new to the list and I am interested in the Isle of Thanet for several reasons. My great-great-grandfather was FRANCIS JOHN WRAIGHT (born1849, Canterbury - died 1923, Ramsgate). He married ANNE ELIZABETH BROCKMAN (born 1846, Ramsgate - died 1928, Ramsgate) daughter of SAMUEL JAMES BROCKMAN and ANN COOPER in 1870 and they lived in Ramsgate where he was a master coach builder. I believe he was also a Master of a Masonic Lodge there too. I descend from their daughter FRANCES LOUISA WRAIGHT who married SIDNEY OLIVER ALLEN. Another great-great-grandfather was THOMAS STREVENS (born 1834, St Peters - died 1919, Broadstairs). He married SUSANNAH JARVIS (born 1836, Deal - died 1920, Broadstairs) daughter of GEORGE THOMAS JARVIS and SUSANNAH KNIGHT in 1860. I descend from their son ERNEST STREVENS who married HARRIET BETSY PIGGOTT. I have already been in contact with Joe Bissett about the Piggott connection and just this week with Ian Wraight about some of the Wraight family. Any help gratefully received. I have a number of family photos although those that contain members of the wider Wraight family in the 1920's/30's are proving difficult to identify. Catherine Macaulay (nee Allen)
