Hi Suzannah, My grandmother was Ada Annie Harlow 1869. She had three sisters and a brother. Her father was Edward Davis Harlow 1832, her mother Esther Johncock 1830. I think my great aunt Selina's husband was mayor of Margate at least once. They all seemed to farm or have butchers shops. You've told me where Ada Annie was born and the area they farmed but as I don't know Margate very well I can't place the farms. I'd be grateful for information.
