Here are a few names: John kemp married a Mary, they had a son names John who married emma sheasby in 1845 in snitterfield. They had a son named thomas in 1858, he married Mary ann Ladbrooke. They had a daughter named Florence who married Tom Smout, they emmigrated to australia after ww1. Do you recognise any of these names? I know that some of their family moved to America, the family story is that there was a big earthquake in the US and those kemps were never heard from again. Sound familiar?
