his father is listed as a shop keeper in the area in 1930.

What was father's name?

HI all!

Thanks for the reply's...and so fast!

Trishanne: I have visited this site before, i think i contacted the moderator too, but nothing has turned up yet :(

rosie99: That's the bit that's confusing me, my Granddad was born in Wouldham in 1929 and his father is listed as a shop keeper in the area in 1930. The next record i have is 1937 which lists him as a smallholder in Kent, on the farm where my Mum grew up.

Geoff-E: The 'E' Stands for Ernest (there were no Emily's in his family)but i appreciate the suggestion :)

This was my grandfathers shop, i think the photo was taken sometime around 1937 and i THINK the location may have been in or around Wouldham, Kent. If anyone can help narrow it down/correct me, then please  do :)

Thanks

Hi,

The short answer is no...i'm not sure. I will order the certificate if I have to but, being a little strapped at the moment, i'm hoping i wont have to.

Kent Lookup Requests / Reeves/Turner Marriage - Maidstone/Chart Sutton
« on: Tuesday 02 February 16 14:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there! Any help with this would be appreciated.

I have a marriage index record for my 2nd Great Aunt (Catherine Ada Reeves) married Frank Turner around Jun 1917 in the Maidstone registration district (Possibly Chart Sutton or Boughton Monchelsea) Can anyone access the parish registers at all? I'm at a bit of a dead end with this part of my family and any aditional details from the register may help.

Thanks in advance

Hmmm i hadn't spotted that.

Yup, Dick has been helping with that, i'm currently awaiting the results. I have received a copy of the transcribed war diary for the 227th from another GWF poster, Dates from jan 1917 to 31st 10th 1917.
