Hi, Let's not forget that Ramsgate, Kent, England also had the St. Lawrence Parish, from where most of my Kent SACKETTS were from.

I did not get it from a web site but by going to the church, when some of my husband's family came over from Canada. But please free to e-mail as I'm writing a book about Granny Sackett my husbands Granny Formally Elsie Pocock of Kent who was sent to Canada as a child. She was placed with a children's charity on the death of her mother as the father was unable to cope. He could not read or write. He had placed an X on a document and when he returned to see his three girls they had been shipped to Canada. But that is another story. Arabella. -----Original Message----- From: Gordon Adams [mailto:goradams@sbcglobal.net] Sent: 05 June 2003 19:41 To: SACKETT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SACKETT-L] RE: Is this a sacket list anymore Hi, Let's not forget that Ramsgate, Kent, England also had the St. Lawrence Parish, from where most of my Kent SACKETTS were from.

Can we please change the subject line - from "is this a SACKETT list anymore" to what ever a person is talking about? I think we loose interest and don't pay that much attention when the subject line is the same thing over and over - AND am sure we loose a lot of good information. John 1) SACKETT the brother of Simon 1) SACKETT was my 8th gr grandfather- Thanks, Wilma Fleming Haynes gencon@harborside.com
