Hi Susan.
In my reseach have come across the Osmotherly family they seem to come from Cliffe.Some of my family are from there too.
You can see parish records for there on the Cityark site,this has parish records from most parishes in the Medway towns.
           Regards Jean.

Thank you,  yes I have been going meticously through the city ark collection.  I am wondering if you know anything about a Lucy Harris from Cliffe, she married c1803 and died a few months after.  She married James Osmotherly.  regards Susan

Hi Susan.
My Harris family does not come from Cliffe!So I donnot know anything about Lucy sorry.My main Cliffe family is the Filmer family but not sure if the Osmotherly married into it.
Cityark is a great site but take time!
