Hi Barbara, don't think that is them as Meopham was definitely their birth place, but thank you anyway.

Julie, yes, pretty sure about that so maybe his wife wasn't dead after all - but where is James??

I have the children's baptisms from Medway City Ark but had a query over their son Thomas. On the MCA he was baptised in1827 but on the 1881 he is 58 so the dates don't tally. I am wondering if he was 4 years old when he was baptised as he was baptised on the same day as his brother John. Hope this makes sense - maybe I should do this in the broad light of day!!!

Any clue as to James' whereabouts? Thanks.

Cynthia

Cynthia Report 1 Nov 2009 22:32

Sorry Julie - I told you it was late! Could it be that James had left the family home and was living with Ellen Ruby????

This is confusing as i have just seem what you thought was Sarahs death

Cynthia

Cynthia Report 1 Nov 2009 22:40

Thanks again Julie. Will check MCA tomorrow to see why I thought Sarah had died - I will then resurrect her!!!

MCA is a fantastic resource for those with rellies in the Medway area - I could play about there all day and have had some really good results.

I was trying to find the daughter called Sarah in the 41 but can't see her

I wonder if yes that is Sarahs death & the daughter Sarah lied about her age so she could look after her siblings & Dad was away working

But 35 is a bit steep though lol

Thanks all. Yes lots are mine.

My Goodwin tree is quite extensive and has been researched by someone in the Kent area. I have lots of info and don't want anybody wasting their precious time but it is so kind of you.

It was just the query after looking at the 1881 census re Thomas 1823 or 1827 that threw me slightlyand I didn't have any 1841 info. I have a feeling he was a late baptism.

(Evening Ozibird - I still have that handbag symbol on my keyboard you know).

Will check Sarah's 'death' tomorrow.

Thank you friends.

Oh yes and they intermarried with that Crowhurst family something dreadful!!!

Really must go - OH is clattering about noisily in the kitchen - hinting its time for bed. So subtle!

Cynthia, you're obviously checking the other researcher's info. Very wise.

It looks like there is a large family with cousins of same name and approximate dob. You're going to have some fun with them.
