I am looking for the children from Frank Smith and Lydia Emmett, Chatham 1925. Any information as to their family so I can complete this part of my tree. Lydia is my great great auntie. Any help.would be appreciated as I've little information outside of the marriage certificate. Frank may have another wife and children later. No idea where Lydia went or date of death. Also Lydia sister Susanna married Youins.

Nel,
I can give you information as far back as John Draper (Cranbrook) 1719
James Brown (Cranbrook) 1727 Anne Moor  1725 for both sides of Mosey's family tree.
More info available if needed. Look into John and Eleanor Daisey. A wagon fire outside of Faversham 24 Dec1848 were five young girls lost their lives. Very sad. Priscila, Rossetta, Matilda, Adaliade and Cilia Daisey.

Kent Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Daisys in the census?

Jax,
Almost forgot to mention, the first posting on dates for George Daisey, birth, and George Daisy marriage, note different spelling but not unusual originating from "days eye" the old english name for a flower. Both dates shared are my grandad including the register of him being 9 years old with mum.and dad.

Jax.
George "the toffee apple king" Daisy is my gt gt grandfather. Thanet Hawker. Married Smedley daughter of Moses Smedley, son of Emmett and Lee , Ashford Kent. Very brief and maybe marginally wrong from memory but will get you on your way. Most buried with no headstones.
I have info if wanted. Good luck

Hi Mosey Emmitt is my gt gt grandfather who was nicknamed ' the biggest ram in Chatham) and changed his second name often, told to me by a family member (Moby of Thanet).Smedley of sugar loaf hill Chatham. George Daisy (ramsgate) 'the toffee apple king'
My father remembers his uncle Jimmy "black as black" running donkeys on the beach and a "god given family right" to seafood stall. Ann Smedley is my gt grandmother. Father (david latham ashford weald) has cousins (Arnold's) but they were for some reason unknown to him close family. In ramsgate they was teased as seaside Gypsies.
