AJ. Thanks again. Yes, I think Richard changed his name to keep low! Thanks for the info on Sarah Ramell.

Kent / Re: Cory's from Deal
« on: Tuesday 10 July 12 20:49 BST (UK) »
AJ. Thanks very much for the info. Its has confirmed some of my findings and also added a lot more detail. Do you have any information about Sarah Ramell parents / family.
I have a real interest in the Lownds side of my family as my middle name is Lownds. My great great grandfather was Richard Lownds born 1819 as confirmed by your findings. He moved to London from Deal around the time of his marriage in 1840 to a Lucy Clements from Lambeth. The strange thing is he changed his name to Williams, however, all his children were christened as Lownds and he and his wife are also recorded as Lownds on the childrens birth certificates. But, all the census records from 1841 onwards show the family as Williams and the children married as Williams.
I cant find any reason or record why this change happend. Any clues??
Thank you so much for your help so far.

Kent / Re: Cory's from Deal

Thanks for the very interesting tree and details of your forebears. Do you have the exact dates of Thomas & Elizabeth Cory's children? I have them if not.
Nothing at all for Elizabeth Harris or her parents. She does not appear in St Thomas (RC) register, St Leonard's or St George's. Neither is she at St Mary's Walmer or St Nicholas Sholden (adjoining parishes).
Something for Thomas Cory.
St Andrew's: 19 Oct 1857 Thomas William CORY, 25, Mariner of Alfred Square son of Richard CORY, Gardener
married Elizabeth Ann MAY. No details for Elizabeth
Witnesses were T.L.CORY and George LOWNDS
The following is supposition.
If Elizabeth was baptised in Deal the only person to fit the bill is
16 Jan 1835 Elizabeth Ann MAY illegitimate daughter of Sara MAY of Alfred Square.
Possible patents of Sara:
2 June 1815 William MAY married Margaret PETT at St Mary's Church, Walmer.
Witnesses were: Elizabeth Kerwin & ohn Norris.
He was a labourer initially, becoming a Waterman then a Waterman by 1818 living in Walmer Road, now the Strand.
3/12/1815 (born 12/11/1815) Mary Ann MAY
11/1/1818 (27/10/1818) Elizabeth MAY
24/10/1819 (28/9/1819) Sarah MAY
2/12/1821 (5/11/1821) James MAY
A William MAY was washed up on the beach drowned on 5th Nov 1822 and is buried in St Mary's Churchyard
Possible parents for William:
James & Sarah MAY
1788 Edward MAY
1789 SArah MAY
1791 James MAY
1794 William MAY
There are no other possibles in the Deal registers for the above parents, It is, of course, possible that people moved in from out of town having been baptisd/married somewhere else in which case I wouldn't know about it.
I do hop this is some help
Regards
AJ
The George Lownds could be my great great uncle. i am re-searching the Lownds family in Deal any further information would be wonderful. My Great Great Great grandfather was John Lownds married to Sarah Ramell he was a tailor and lived in Lower Street Deal.
