Have you tried Janes Ships. Started in 1898,there has been annual publications of naval ships and details about them. I have not looked into it in detail but know that 'Janes' had information about many military and naval matters.

Hello don, If you Google HMS Severn you will find a lot of information, there have been nine ships with that name Then look under Royal Naval records - National Archives to see if he is listed, if successful you can download his records for a few pounds.

Hi Gloria, You know that Priscilla YOUNG - daughter of Robert and Jemimah YOUNG - was christened in 1768 Priscilla YOUNG - gave birth to a daughter Fanny YOUNG - Christened in 1789 iat Horsonden Kant Aug 1789 Priscilla would have been aprox 21 years old at the time ? Priscilla YOUNG - married James CLIFTON - Horsmonden, Kent in 1796 [ Fanny would have been aprox 7 years old at the time. NOTE: - some families - may not accept - a child - Perhaps Priscilla had to give her up to ? Workhouse - ? Did Priscilla have siblings ? - perhaps they took in the child - Fanny. GIVEN NAME : FANNY - can also be FRANCES. Perhaps - Fanny stayed with her Grandparents - Robert & Jerimiah YOUNG - after the marriage in 1796. Have you searched available census over the years. Is it possible that Fanny - had a middle name -? - perhaps used same - when her mother married James CLIFTON Do you find a female of aprox age - in the Census - for James and Priscilla CLIFTON. Perhaps Fanny - passed away ? either under the YOUNG or CLIFTON surnames Do you know When? Where? Pricilla CLIFTON nee YOUNG - passed away - ? - perhaps there will be some reference to Fanny Cheers & Good Luck, Stella >On Thu, Feb 13, 2014 at 3:44 PM, gloria <sunflower1975@comcast.net> wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > > > > > One of my ancestors, Priscilla YOUNG (born to Robert and Jemimah Young and > > christened 23 Oct 1768 in Horsmonden, Kent).

Hi Bob, Did Fanny have a middle name . She was christened - Fanny? some people reverse the given and middle names - preferring one over the other. My research - has many who appear to choose - different given names - over time - even in marriage Harry - becomes Henry - in some documents - the reverse in others - the christening - shows the name Tihomas Henry documents show Henry or Harry Thomas - or the reverse - on Marriage . birth of children -death registrations. Females - christened Julia / Julianna - sometimes show as Helen on the birth of one of the children Anna. Hannah Anastasia - Annie, Ann - and Lizzie - for another . I imagine no one asks for documentation - to show - the original given name also - Olga becomes Elizabeth - - and another Elizzsbeth becomes Isobel . Makes research - difficult - interesting . In some family histories - families - who have not done proper research / documentation - guess. they seem to know the names of Fathers, Grandfathers - uncles - but the females - - almost forgotten. women carry the title - mother, auntie, grandmother , etc - no need to know the given name - sadly Cheers, Stella At 01:56 PM 13/02/2014, you wrote: >I had a GGG christened in Kent in 1780 with the name of Fanny and she >appears every where else as Mary. > >Just a thought! > >Bob > > >On Thu, Feb 13, 2014 at 3:44 PM, gloria <sunflower1975@comcast.net> wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > > > > > One of my ancestors, Priscilla YOUNG (born to Robert and Jemimah Young and > > christened 23 Oct 1768 in Horsmonden, Kent).

Hello, One of my ancestors, Priscilla YOUNG (born to Robert and Jemimah Young and christened 23 Oct 1768 in Horsmonden, Kent). In 1789 she had a daughter Fanny YOUNG who was christened in Horsmonden, Kent on 30 Aug 1789. Priscilla YOUNG married James CLIFTON in Horsmonden, Kent in 1796. I have not been able to find any more information re the daughter Fanny other than her baptism. Can anyone offer me ideas of how to find more information on Fanny? Thanks, Gloria

Hi Patricia It is a long time time since your post and you may have since found the information you were looking for, but in case you haven't James and Rose are in Stoke near Guildford Surrey in the 1861 Census. The entry is: JAPPENDEN, James Head Married M 30 1831 ...Fireman Ashford, Kent JAPPENDEN, Rose Wife Married F 24 1837 Kingston, Surrey RG number: RG09 Piece: 427 Folio: 44 Page: 38 Address: 8, Drummond Road, Stoke Next Guildford, Guildford County: Surrey The names are as I read them though the transcription on FindMyPast was JAPPINEN - I have requested a correction here. I hope this helps. I came across the entry looking for James Tappenden b 1831 in Westwell Kent, which is near Ashford. The marriage entry for James and Rose gives his father as James, whereas the James I was looking for is the illegitimate son of Mary Tappenden. Best wishes Ian Ian H Burns ian@burnsgenealogy.org Monkton Combe, Bath From: "Patricia Matthews" <glennie.matt@xtra.co.nz>  Subject: TAPPENDEN 1861  Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2005 07:52:15 +1300 Hi Everyone, I am looking for James TAPPENDEN he married Rose SAWYER in Croydon in 1857  and in 1871 they were living in Woolwich Kent. I know this could be a big ask, but has anyone got access to the 1861 Census  for Croydon. I would really appreciate it if they could see if James and  Rose are there.

Hi List, I've found the above man was transported to Tasmania as a convict, tried 22 March 1833 at Cornwall Assizes, born Deptford, wife Mary (at Deptford), using the name Thomas LOWERRY. His records show his read name was Thomas RUSSELL. The closest I have found for him is possibly Thomas RUSSELL, son of Thomas and Averina RUSSELL, b.9 Oct 1805, bapt 26 Jan 1807, St Paul's Deptford.

Hello, Listers, If you are a male FOAD, FOADE or FOAT (probably with ancestors in Kent) and you are attending the 'Who Do You Think You Are-Live' genealogy exhibition in London, 20-22 February, please consider stopping by the ISOGG booth (International Society of Genetic Genealogy) for a FREE Y-DNA test. As administrator of the Foad Surname DNA Project I am sponsoring standard 67-marker Y-DNA tests for new project members. These are standard genealogical tests with no health-related information in them. An ISOGG volunteer will do the test right there, so there is no fuss or bother for you, and the only requirement is some basic information about your paternal-line pedigree. Please read about our project results, so far, at : http://www.familytreedna.com/public/FoadSurname/default.aspx?section=results If you have any questions please e-mail me, or ask the ISOGG volunteer. I look forward to you taking part in our research. ... Martin H. Potter Administrator, Foad Surname DNA Project Researching FOAD, FOADE, FOAT KFHS # 9610

I've written a story on my 3rd great grandfather Daniel Bloomfield who served in the Royal Marines from 1840 through 1861. Originally from Suffolk, he was based at the Chatham Barracks in Kent. http://butmostlyaboutcats.blogspot.com/2014/01/per-mare-per-terram.html

Many thanks for the reply to my request for help. I have looked up the National Archives at Kew and obtained a "skeleton" of his military career. I have also sent an enquiry to the Gravesend Branch of the Kent Library and Museum service in regard of an obituary. Many thanks to you for your guidance. In response to Brian's query, maybe, I will have to chase that up, Frank's sister, Mary Laura(Leura) Bowen, was a primary school teacher in the 1911 census in Ramsgate, so there is a chance. Mary died in Amersham, Buckinghamshire in 1958. Regards Roger M Evans A Welshman doing penance in Shropshire, I've given up on trying to convert the heathen
