List~ On the 1851 census : I have a Remlion JOY, 40, Hadlow Parish, at the top of the record. Is this an old English name? How is it correctly spelled? On the 1841 census it is spelled Remillan JOY, 30, Wrotham Parish. Also, on the 1851 census for the same person, I see that she has a visitor. Is the name, a 'place name' in Kent, or is it an actual name of a person?? Bill in Ontario, Canada

Hi Bill It is a very unusual name, and there are more variations than have been suggested.....I have several in my tree (all from Kent) from Remalia, Remaliah, Remalion, etc.....searching the censuses with "Rema*" gives a lot but could well be accused of errors due to poor writing or spelling for people who couldn't write themselves but a similar check in FreeBMD gives a better idea regards bryan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Harrison" <ellbill.harrison@gmail.com> To: <KENT-ENG@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 10:40 PM Subject: [KENT-ENG] Remillan JOY > List~ > > On the 1851 census : I have a Remlion JOY, 40, Hadlow Parish, > at the top of the record. > Is this an old English name?
