Hi Shane. Thank you for filling in some more of the blanks. I can't seem to find any record of Isaac's death - do you have any idea of when that was, please? He was recorded in the 1891 census, but I can't find him after that, and I can't find a death record for him.

Regards

The Kezia Goldsmith to whom I referred above was born in Sheerness in 1855. I think there other ladies in the family history who also were named Kezia or some variant of the name ...

Hello. I found your thread last night, and the name of Kezia Goldsmith interested me very much. I believe that her husband, who I think was Isaac Stone, and whom she married in Milton in 1872, is my great grandfather. My maternal grandfather, Ernest Stone, was listed at age 1 in their household in the 1891 census (their address was 40, Charlotte Street, Milton Next, Milton). There is a strong maritime tradition in that branch of my family, and Isaac owned and worked a sailing vessel, on which my grandfather spent much time until the age of around 9, when apparently Isaac died of pneumonia (haven't found any record of this yet). Kezia, also spelt Kerzia (maybe it depended who filled in the census form!) apparently died in 1901 (Jan-March)  I have only just started to look into my family tree, and you have clearly made much more progress than I, and I was wondering if you might be able to help with some more information on some of these people. Ernest, you may be interested to know, finished his work career as a tug-boat skipper.

Kind regards
