Dear Listers, The Noakes family in the south of England seem to spread over all Sussex and into Kent so I've been suprised that my pleas for help to find members of the family has produced so little. I'm not seeking other than sufficient information to pursue the mambers of the family tree. So my plea this time is more precise and will, I hope, produce some information. Primarily I am trying to find the parents of Edward Noakes, Farmer, born C 1801, but where??, died 9th June 1865 in Lamberhurst, Kent where he resided at Whisketts Farm. The problem for me is that he appears to have been born in 1801, which, unfortunately was when more than one Edward Noakes was born. The next person is his wife Mary nee Haskell, I'd like to find her birth date, she was born in Cranboune, Doset C 1802 and she died in Lamberhurst 17th April 1874.. If it helps his son also Edward born 15th March 1830 was a Master Blacksmith and appears to have the Crimea medal. as to a 'photo in my possession. I have all relevant information on the descendants of Edward Noakes born 1830, almost without exception, to the present day. Edward is my Great Grandfather. There are the clues, who may have answers.
