    1. [ISLE-OF-THANET] The Widow Ann Wells
    2. Michael Hobbs
    3. Several years ago I obtained a copy of a tourist pamphlet "Discovering Old Minster" printed by the Thanet District Council. On the acknowledgements portion of the pamphlet was a cartoon picture of a lady in a hot-air-balloon. Apparently that woman is the widow Anne Wells who staged hot-air-balloon ascents from her Tea Gardens during the 1820's (formerly the White Horse Inn on Church Street?). This woman was one of my ancestors and I have had a lot of difficulty finding out anything about her. Can anyone help with any information about her, her family, parents,siblings etc?
