Can anyone give me any information on Hill House, Lyminge 1931 or point me in the right direction. I understand that in 1931 it was a sanitorium for the poor. Where would patients who died of TB be buried at that time? Would they have been buried according to their religion and if so which churches are nearby? Thank you for any assistance. June

Hi All Just to let you know that three more names on the Upchurch memorial have been researched, and new pages have been added. http://www.fadedgenes.co.uk/WilliamHenryCLARK.html http://www.fadedgenes.co.uk/FrederickGeraldBANFIELD.html http://www.fadedgenes.co.uk/GeorgeJosephBANFIELD.html The two BANFIELDs were brothers and William CLARK was their brother in law. William CLARK was also a distant cousin to Charles GRANSDEN (already researched).

Hi All, I was wondering if someone had a subscription to The London Times and could send me a copy of an obituary: Edward Maurice Berkeley Ingram (1890-1941): hanks for any assistance, Peter, Melbourne, Australia The Times, Wednesday, May 14, 1941; pg. 7; Issue 48925; col E, Obituaries, Category: Obituaries

An eagle eye has just pointed out my mistake. It's not William Charles Ashby's parents I'm after, BUT Frederick Charles Ashby. A senior's moment? Robyn of Oz.

Hi Robyn, The familysearch website is not complete. If you click on the addy below it will take you to Hugh Wallis' website.......a good website to keep in your favourites.

Hi listers, Now that I have William Charles Ashby's birth entry from FreeBMD, I'm puzzled as to why I can't find him in the Familysearch site. He was born Dec Qt of 1840 in Canterbury, under ASHBEE. I've tried all spellings and all England to no avail. I'm trying to find his parents and siblings. TIA, Robyn of Oz.

I would sincerely like to thank Pam, Sue, Dennis, Robert, Suzannah and John for all replying to my query re William Ashby's parentage. I was on the wrong track, which I suspected, so now am on the straight and narrow! Last night, when the first few answers came in, complete with the 1891 census, I thought I'll (cheekily) ask for the 1901 census, and this morning there it was! I now have more work to do to find siblings and put more meat on the bones of William Ashby. His granddaughter in NZ will be thrilled. Regards to all, Robyn of Oz.

Just to add. My Francis STRANGE was buried at Bunhill Fields but his grave sustained a direct hit during the war. Apparently a number of graves were hit by bombs during the war.

A lot of the dissenters mentioned in Dr Williams Library are also on the LDS Vital Records cd that were put out some years ago now. The births mentioned there provide better information than was provided in Cof E Records for the time. A birth gave the parents names and the fathers of the parents as well. I was able to trace my Francis STRANGE and Frances STOCKENS/STOCKINGS from Suffolk to Middlesex because of the info from this Library. Many of the records have been filmed by the LDS also.

>From British Journal (1722) ( London, England), Saturday, September 12, 1724; Issue CIV. The Reverend Mr. John COLSON is nominated to the Vicarage of Chalk, in the County of Kent. We hear, that one Mr. GOULD, a Custom-House Officer at Deal, has lately taken six Owlers; three of whom are now in Canterbury Gaol, two in Dover Castle, and one is out upon Bail. ( N.B. For those who don't know, OWLER's where one of the Kent Smuggling Gangs. ) His Majesty's Ship the "Dover", Capt. CAYLEY, is order'd to be paid off at Deptford.

John , A good source is Dr. Williams Library, London , WWW.dwlib.co.uk Dr. Williams collected much info. on dissenters . The registers of baps. start about 1720. They have other data as well . A lot of dissenters are buried in Bunhill Fields in London . Over 120, 000 burials . I visited it 2 years ago , and found it most interesting. REv. William Jenkins who died at Newgate 1684 is among them . His mother was a dau. of John Rogers . His funeral prcession included over 150 coachs and his dau. gave out rings which really ticked off the King . Daniel Defoe is the most famous person there . THere is an office at the cem . that has records of who is interred within . Wesley's church is accoss the street . His mother Susannah is buried there. You can Google "Bunhill Fields " for good info. but the online list is very incomplete , so best to visit in person . The cemetery is near the Society of Genealogists , which is another good source of info. . Other cems. nearby are at Wesley Chapel, and Quaker Gardens .
