Hello, I have just rejoined after some time and would like to post my interest in the Shilling family. My G.Grandfather Thomas Charles Shilling was born in Faversham in 1863. I can trace my Shilling family back to 1525 in Throwley, but my line seemed to have ended up around the Medway area. Thomas married Annie Keen in Lewisham and they ended up in 1900 in Corringham Essex after moving around quite a bit. He was a brickmaker. Anyone out there with the same interests? Nan

PS to my previous. Looks as though he may have resigned as curate of Ivychurch in 1822.

Hi Neil If you go to this website www.theclergydatabase.org.uk and search for Thomas Rowland you will find some details of him. It says he was appointed Curate of Brooklands & Old Romney in 1814 and curate of Ivychurch in 1817. I can't see him in 1841 and unfortunately I only have deaths up to 1813 on the KFHS CD.

Hi Barbara, Again, unfortunately, no connection but I did find Nelson JEFFERY living with his Parents and siblings on the 1851 Census in Ewhurst, Sussex. His Parents are shown as John JEFFERY, b.Abt.1814, Hawkhurst, KEN and wife, Hannah, b.Abt.1816 Hawkhurst, KEN. I have lots of references to Hawkhurst and Ewhurst, but only through Marriages into the JEFFERY family, no JEFFERY's as such. JEFFERY is certainly not an uncommon name but interesting they are living with the MALLYON family.

Hi Jacki, Unfortunately I do not show either Alfred JEFFREE or his son Frederick on my JEFFERY family tree. I have done a little research for you. I located your Frederick JEFFREE living with his Father ( a Widower)in St.Pancras, LND in the 1881 Census. I have also traced your Alfred JEFFREE back to the 1841 Census. He was born Alfred James JEFFREE b.Abt.1830 in Blackwall or Limehouse, Middlesex, to John T.JEFFREE and Elizabeth. John (possibly John Tresacar JEFFREE) was born abt 1804, Cornwall and his Wife Elizabeth b.Abt.1809, Bodmin, Cornwall. I have emailed you off-list with the full details. Hope it helps, shame we have no connection. Kind regards, Sue (Tropical North Queensland, Australia) (Hi Sue, I have connections starting with Alfred Jeffree born in Adelphi,Bermondsey born abt 1846, his son Frederick Alfred Jeffree born 1874 Poplar Mdx married my Grandmother's sister, Clara Cordelia Dyckhoff. Not sure if there is a connection to your Jeffery family tree as haven't been able to go any further back than 1846. Jacky)

Pauline: I have a great grandfather who married an Elizabeth Pierson in Yalding about 8 Dec 1793. She was married to a William Baseden. They had several children. I have no further information on Elizabeth and I am trying to research her. Their children were: Rebecca Ann Baseden born abt 1796 Ann Baseden born abt 1798 George Baseden born abt 1801 William Baseden born abt 1803 James Baseden born abt 1806 Harriet Baseden born abt 1812 I show all births to be in Yalding, Kent, England. The son George is my 3rd great grandfather. He married Elizabeth Bishop 20 Jul 1823 in East Barming, Kent, England. The spelling of the surname varies. It has also been shown as Basden, Basedon, and Baisden. The alternate spelling Basden is the most common. -----Original Message----- From: kent-eng-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:kent-eng-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Pauline & Arthur Kennedy Sent: Saturday, October 05, 2013 8:25 AM To: kent-eng@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [KENT-ENG] JEFFERY Family Folkestone Hi Barbara I have slight connection with these Yalding TOWNs - Samuel Jeffrey/Jeffery TOWN, son of Thomas & Elizabeth and bapt 1791 in Yalding, married Elizabeth PIERSON in Yalding in 1813.

It is easy to forget that the Local Government Act of 1888, which brought the "County of London" into being, was passed for much wider and more important purposes than regularising the administration of the world's largest city (whose population grew from approximately 1 million in 1800 to nearly 7 million in 1900). The point of the Act was not specifically to cobble together a new county, nor even to give county status to the area already centrally administered, to a large extent, by the Metropolitan Board of Works (established in 1855), but to hand control over administrative matters to *democratically elected* county councils covering the whole of England and Wales with authority over such matters as: Making and levying of rates Borrowing of money Passing of county accounts Maintenance and construction of county buildings such as shire halls, county halls, court houses and police stations Licensing of places of entertainment and of race courses Provisions of asylums for pauper lunatics Establishment and maintenance of reformatory and industrial schools Repair of county roads and bridges Appointment, dismissal and setting of salaries for county officers Division of the county into polling places for parliamentary elections, and the provision of polling stations Control of contagious diseases in animals, and of destructive insects Fish conservancy and control of wild birds Weights and measures Caroline > -----Original Message----- > From: kent-eng-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:kent-eng- > bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Alan > Sent: 04 October 2013 11:57 > To: kent-eng@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [KENT-ENG] DEPTFORD > > Hello Dennis. > > Your list of that which London has been taking over should now include some > of South Hertfordshire also should it not?

Further to previous replies, surely Deptford became part of London in 1889? This is when the county of London was formed. Initially Deptford was part of the Metropolitan Board of Works ('Greenwich District') 1889-1900. Then in 1900 the metropolitan boroughs were formed. At that point Deptford St Nicholas became part of Greenwich borough while St Paul formed 'Deptford Metropolitan Borough'. In 1965 (establishment of Greater London), Deptford MB became part of Lewisham Borough, while Greenwich MB (including Deptford St Nicholas) became part of Greenwich London Borough. So the historical parish remains split between two London boroughs. Source: F. Youngs, 'Local Administrative Units' (1979). Yes, part of Deptford originally extended into Surrey.
