Hello Joy, I am not sure whether I am on the right wavelength for you and will need a little more time to peruse my records, but I have a booklet of Kemps of Selborne (they aren't my Kemps) and at first glance I wonder if this George is yours? George Kemp died 1743 and Elizabeth Silvester (died 1750) were married on 9 JUly 1696. They had the following children: Elizabeth chr 26 Feb 1696-97 (died 1757) Ann chr 2 Feb 1698-99 'Roase' chr 20 October 1700 (died 1719) George chr 22 Feb 1702-03 (died 1751?) married Hannah later married John Mayhew on 23 Oct 1756 Thomas chr 22 November 1709 (died 1710) Thomas chr 30 March 1711 (died 1754 William chr 21 Nov 1714 (died 1785?) I have a little more if you are interested and this seems to be your family. Marg in Queensland Australia whose Kemps came from Co.Cavan Ireland. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joy Waters" <joy2811uk@yahoo.co.uk> To: <KEMP-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 1:52 AM Subject: George,Thomas, Colin - lived in SELBORNE, BLACKMOOR & HEADLEY, Hants > > Greetings fellow KEMP researchers! > My grandmother Kate KEMP (1891-1944) was one of ten children and came from a long line of bricklayers, builders and carpenters: the KEMPs of Selborne, Hampshire. > Kate was: > > the daughter of Colin KEMP (1858-1937) and Caroline nee GIBB, > > grand-daughter of Thomas (c.1832-1895) and Jane nee SNELLING, > > great grand-daughter of Thomas (c.1792-1871) and Maria nee VOAKES, great great grand-daughter of George (1749-1823) and Martha nee BIDE, great great great grand-daughter of George (1702-1751) & Hannah UNK. > Is anyone researching this branch of the family?
