Hi I am looking for Kents in England- then sailing at some point to Canada and settling in Newfoundland, probably the middle 1800's maybe sooner. James Kent married Helen Moore early 1900's at this point I have been stuck for a long time. It does not seem to matter how many times I go away and then come back I can't verify his parents. Pauline.

Does anyone have Zachariah Kent, who was born 5 May 1805 in Maryland? He was married to Charlotta Day, who was born 23 September 1812 in Baltimore, Maryland. After their marriage they moved to Morgan County, Ohio and resided there at the time of the birth of their first child in 1839. Family tradition has the Kent family living in Baltimore County and also in York County, Pennsylvania. Larry

I'm not doing active research in NJ. Since the list is so quiet at the moment, maybe we should take Donna's lead and post the geographical area(s) where each of us is reseraching KENT. My Kents are in Essex County MA, and New Hampshire.

(personal message) William Odell, an ex-police inspector, moved to Shrubbery Road in Gravesend in the 1870's and I suspect that some of his descendants subsequently grew up in that area. If any other researcher would care to swop notes I have information about the following Odells: William/Louise Odell Edward James Alexander Herbert Francis Edwin Alice Mary Theresa William Frederick Walter Allan Ernest A(lbert) and I can also reciprocate with Hertfordshire lookups. thanks

I'm getting our family history together and would welcome some information on Westerham and the surrounding area. Many years ago, almost 40, I lived in Westerham at a house called Deepdale on Westerham Hill. Does the house still stand and how would I go about getting any old photos of it 40 years ago? Also, what were the names of the local schools and churches? I remember there was a Cullen's Grocers and a lovely old sweet shop as you went into the village. Is there a local historical society that can give me more information on the town/village? Any information much appreciated. Sue Young
