Does anybody have access to a Street Directory or other record for the Westgate and Margate area of Kent that may be able to tell me anything (especially the christian name(s) or even initial(s)) of a Mr and Mrs MANKELOW who were residing at 7 Ursuline Drive, Westgate, Kent on 2 March 1964, please? Thanks for any help Chris Page

Hi chris, When you google leave out "brotherhood" you get much more seponses. http://www.thamesbarge.org.uk/barges/Bargemens%20brotherhood.html Check out the archives on this site and also there is a contact email.... http://cityark.medway.gov.uk/ump/ Cityark http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/browser.asp?CATLN=3&CATID=8963&POSCATLN=6&POSCATID=2531000&j=1 Stevedores, Lightermen and Bargemen - sittingbourne 1911-1928 on the national archives website. www.parishregister.com Has a lot of Lightermen, Watermen etc....a great resource with their own cd.s for sale and searchable. All come under the Amalgamated society of Watermen, Lightermen and Bargemen. Hope some of this helps. My cousin in the UK contacted the chappy on this website who was very helpful.

I have looked further into this and it appears that William Wilfred Gladdish started life as William Wilfred Cladish. His marriage to my grandfathers sister has him as Gladdish and that agrees with his military records. But cant find a birth for Gladdish. There is a Stepehn Cladish 1901 England Census about Stephen Cladish on 1901 which would appear to be the correct family. Name: Stephen Cladish Age: 54 Estimated birth year: abt 1847 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Harriett Gender: Male Where born: Whitstable, Kent, England Civil parish: Northfleet Ecclesiastical parish: St Botolph County/Island: Kent Country: England Street Address: Registration district: Strood Sub-registration district: Northfleet ED, institution, or vessel: 5 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 130 Household Members: Name Age Stephen Cladish 54 Harriett Cladish 50 Edward H Cladish 16 Horace A Cladish 14 Sidney J Cladish 9 William W Cladish 2 Found a baptism for Edward Charly Claddish.

Good guess Stella..... The name is predominantly Sussex and Kent apparently. This is from the origins of the name that I had pugged away. This habitational name is an excellent example of how surname and village name spelling has changed with dialect over the centuries. Akehurst almost certainly derives from the village of (now) Oakhurst, in the county of Hertfordshire. In the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles of the years 944 - 946 A.D. in the reign of King Edmund (939 - 946), the village is recorded as "Acersc", translating as "the oak park". By the year 1287 the spelling had become Okersh, with "Oakhurst" being circa 1600. The surname as Akehurst appears to be particularly associated with Sussex, which may be accidental through a mass movement from the original village, or it may be that a now "lost" site called "Ac-hurst", or similar, also existed in the Sussex region. The name has a number of variant spellings, these include: Ackhurst, Akehurst, Akhurst and Akeherst. ----- Combine this with the Accent and you could well get Achust. Plus Achurst with the H may have been mistranscribed from a K to an H. Ive seen all sorts, so don't get me started on that one.

Hi Diana, I have some sussex Parish Registers out at the moment because I am researching AKEHURST, which is also transcribed in the registers as ACKHURST. So these variations might be useful to you.....also Akhurst, Achurst, so I suspect the "hust" at the end might be accent related. 1. I suggest you post this to the Bucks List at rootsweb & get the Great Missenden PR's. The original Parish register may possibly state where the bride was from in the marriage register. 2. I suggest that the Achust spelling is more to do with accent than anything else. Bucks has a fairly broad accent. Placing a Kent accent in Bucks or vica versa can produce these sorts of anomales. 3. A friend of mine researches Buckinghamshire and assures me that the local libraries and councils that hold records for Bucks are very approachable via email. 4. Putting Achust in Ancestry only brings up your marriage of Amy Achust in Msx, again the accents may come into play here. I have also check what trees I have access to and nothing so far for Amy, but I am concentraing on combining the Sussex trees, so this is to be expected I guess. 5. Akehursts have their own website as well http://www.akehursters.co.uk also judith.akhurst@one-name.org Judith Akhurst - We are researching AKEHURST + variants (worldwide) but the name seems to be concentrated in Kent and Sussex. Judith "may" be a member of the Akehursters too, I am not sure. 6. Some websites for you. http://www.bucksgs.org.uk/ Has access to PR's for Great Missenden and other places in Bucks, nominal search fees. http://www.ukgenealogy.co.uk/bkm.htm Has lookups, surnames lists etc http://www.free-genealogy.co.uk/buckinghamshire.html http://www.genealogyinengland.com/Counties/buckinghamshire.htm Yell if you need me Cheers Pam from Adelaide Australia >I am new to the list.

I am new to the list. I am trying to find a baptism for my husband's GG-Grandmother Amy ACHUST who married William Stockford STEVENS (from Great Missenden BKM) in 1840 in London. ACHUST is a very unusual name and I suspect it was Amy's own special variant. Two weeks later they applied to migrate to South Australia arriving in July 1840. The little I know about Amy is as follows: Her father's name was Edward and he was a gardener. She was of Full Age on the Marriage certificate on 29 Mar 1840 and 22 on the Application to Migrate on 16 Apr 1840. She died on 5 Jun 1903 "in her 102nd year" according to the local newspaper (this seems unlikely as the children who were registered were born between 1845 and 1857). She claimed to remember the Battle of Waterloo (18 Jun 1815) and said her father was injured, that he lost an arm and just returned home to die. I could not find him in the Medal Roll. She looks very well preserved in the photo published in the newspaper when she turned 100. Her husband was not quite 21 when they married and it seems unlikely that she was 20 years his senior. She said she came from Canterbury though that does not necessarily mean she was born there. In the IGI (Patron Submissions) there are: Amy ACHURST daughter of Edward and Elizabeth (WILDISH) born 5 Aug 1816 Stone, bap 8 Dec 1816 Luddenham. Marriage: Edward AKURST and Elizabeth WILDISH, 18 Feb 1815 at Teynham. Baptism: Edward AKHURST son of Richard & Sarah 22 Oct 1791 at Teynham. I shall order the PRs on film from the LDS but in the meantime if anyone has information on the events listed or any other suggestions I should be most grateful. Best wishes to all from Diana in Perth, Western Australia

Peter, I did some notices, from the Gale newspaper collection published in England (but not Kent) about people from Kent. You can access them through Maureen Rawson's website - follow the Newspapers Index link, and they are under "Kent people in British newspapers 1820-1822". There are other newspaper links on the same page that may have more info - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mrawson/ Mick Coomber often posts articles he has found in the newspapers to the Kent List, if you go to the Archives and search you should find them. Re the same notice you sent to the Tasmanian List, the Ryerson organisers posted a message a few months ago asking for volunteers to transcribe the notices in Tasmanian newspapers. The Hobart Mercury and Launceston Examiner have been done 2008-10, you will have to wait for more notices to come online - or volunteer to help them along a bit - ryerson-index@tpg.com.au Cheers Trish Nowra NSW > I was wondering if anyone in Kent has been collection Births, Deaths & > Marriage notices published in any Kent newspapers - similar version to the > Ryerson Index of NSW, Australia? > Peter, Melbourne, Australia

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone in Kent has been collection Births, Deaths & Marriage notices published in any Kent newspapers - similar version to the Ryerson Index of NSW, Australia? Thanks for any contributions, Peter, Melbourne, Australia

Does anyone have any information on the Sittingbourne Bargemen's Brotherhood? I have identified my great-grandfather (William MILLS) in a group photo taken in about 1921 and used to illustrate an article by Frank Willmott in Byegone Kent V15 number 12. The photo has an acknowledgment to Henry Attwater Jnr. I cannot find anything written about the Brotherhood other than that article. Chris Baker

Hi Sylvia, I see you have had a response. But have you tried the getting the Parish registers out for both places and trying to piece the families together that way.......Check the LDS library catalogue to see whether they can be ordered through there. I generally collect a lot of information, starting with what I denfinitely know, going to the IGI and collecting from Bridge etc.....then the PR's, and together with the census data, BMD's and checking historical directories etc online if can build up a picture them and a time line of their movements. Long winded, but basically it's either that or the certificates, sometimes both. Cheers Pam from Adelaide Australia Hi Everyone, This may sound stupid, but how do you know when you have the right death? This family is the bane of my life and may or may not be mine. The family 1851 is at Wickhambreaux consisting of Thomas HOLNESS father, mother Ann, sons Thomas, William, Charles and daughter Sophia. Thomas snr birthplace is said to be Whitchurch, Hants. Ann, Canterbury. This had me stumped fo some time as I could find neither 1861. In the end I decided the birthplaces were swapped. Ann appears 1861 birthplace, Hants.says she is a

Has anybody got a connection to WILLIAM WILFRED GLADDISH c 1896 son of STEPHEN GLADDISH?

Hi everybody I am hoping somebody might be able to help identify the wife of James Tingley, or variation of name, who I believe married Ann in Kent approximately 1797 when their first child was born. James was from Worth in Sussex and there is no record of a marriage in the surround parishes. The 1851 census gives his wife Ann's birthplace as Wrotham, Kent, and I am hoping/assuming they were married somewhere in the vicinity. I would be grateful if some kind person who has access to a Kent marriage index or other records could do a lookup for me. Thank you. Helen No virus found in this outgoing message.

Thanks Mary, Yes I thought about the person who was present at death.  Unfortunately in this case it was a George Folwell of the Union Workhouse, He signed with a cross. So at this stage no help there. I will have to save up and bite the bullet. With thanks,  Sylvia. ________________________________ Sylvia  The one thing that has helped me be sure of a death is to see who was present at the death..This is usually a member of the family or the next door neighbour..This helped me when I thought a daughter of a family had died but she was present at her mothers death so I realised that she was alive and well and solved 2 problems with the one cert.. Go on live dangerously and order the 3 cert..
