Title: Everetts in Sheppey, Kent
Post by: Anne S on Monday 02 April 07 20:16 BST (UK)

Hi, I am trying to trace descendants of a William Everett born c1822 in Sheppey (census says Shepway,Kent), married to an Elizabeth, born c1836, Sunderland, Durham.  Their children were born in London so I imagine that they met and married in London.  I'm hoping on finding someone who is researching the Everett family as I have some interesting info regarding the grandchildren of William Everett.  I am not directly related to this family, William's son Charles William born 1862 in Islington, London was the 1st husband of my great grandmother.

There is an area in Kent covered by Shepway District Council. This includes Folkestone, Hythe and Romney Marsh.
I don't know if the name of this district council goes back in history or is quite new!?
Just an idea.

So there are some living in Sheppey, BUT are they connected to yours?
