Dear Suzannah, I would truly appreciate a photocopy of a picture of Edward Staples Wootton and possibly Edward Rapson. If you want more photos of John Bayly 1832-1911, we have quite a few from the family albums of my mother-in-law as John was her grandfather and we do have snaps I found of him in his mayoral robe etc. Elizabeth Brooker ----- Original Message ----- From: "Suzannah Foad" <suzannah.foad@btopenworld.com> To: <isle-of-thanet@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, November 05, 2010 7:57 AM Subject: Re: [Isle-of-Thanet] MARGATE HOY COMPANY 1910 - Rapson - Bayly I have photocopy pictures of all Mayors you mention, if you would like copies, ask away! x I have been working on all Maragte Mayors for many years, collecting tit bits and pictures, plus building up mini biographies Suzannah Margate Local & Family History --- On Fri, 5/11/10, Elizabeth Brooker <ebrooker@pathcom.com> wrote: > From: Elizabeth Brooker <ebrooker@pathcom.com> > Subject: Re: [Isle-of-Thanet] MARGATE HOY COMPANY 1910 - Rapson - Bayly > To: isle-of-thanet@rootsweb.com > Date: Friday, 5 November, 2010, 0:33 > I missed finding that Edward Rapson > was also a Margate Mayor, Suzannah. > Henry's father was named Edward Rapson and I think this was > the only Rapson > family in Margate so the 1868 mayor was probably Henry's > father.
