Hello me again. My friend began researching her family in 1991 but got nowhere with her maternal line. The information she had was her g grandfathers name William but not her g grandmothers name. She knew the names of the children but could find no birth records for them.

I have the family on the 1911 and 1901 censuses.

1901
William Reen b 1853 in Wadhurstfield Sussex I assume he means Wadhurst.

Elizabeth Reen wife born 1854 Kingston upon Thames Surrey
Frederick Reen born 1881 Horsmonden Kent
Ellen Reen born 1883 " "
Joseph Reen born 1887 "
Alice Reeen born 1890 "

In 1911 they are living Brenchley Kent with Joseph and Alice still at home.

My friends grandmother is Williams eldest daughter Mary Ann Reen she isn't on the censuses, she married Edward Giles in 1894 at Horsmonden.

I searched the Horsmonden 1881 and 1891 censuses individually but found nothing also searched nearby villages as William was an agricultural worker again nothing.

My friend thinks it is possible her family were gypsies but I thought I would give all you enthusiastic people a try to see what other sites you have access to might turn up. My research all done on Ancestry
