Family History Beginners Board / Re: Diton or Dighton family and Garner Family
« on: Wednesday 13 February 19 15:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Blackwood22
 Saunders Dighton is my great grandfather  who married Rose Hilton, and his father who is also called Saunders is my great great grandfather born in 1832 in White Rudon Essex but to this day i still have no name for Saunders (jnr) mother. We do have Blackwood in the Garner family as my dads cousin is Joyce and she married into the Blackwood name.

hi my great grandfather was Saunders Dighton and was married to Rose Hilton (we think) in 1892 in Steyning Sussex in the quarter of Apr-May-Jun i believe this is the right information for my great grandfather even though on the 1911 census he comes up as Sanders Diton or Saunders Diton he also was known as an Hawker/Pedlar as you well know spellings vary due to not knowing how to read and write amongst the Romany Gypsies.

hi tracey
my great grandfather was a romany and on his 1911 census it gives the address as caravan on noah ditons ground beacon road chatham his name was saunders diton or sanders dighton the spellings vary because of the authorities writing it down instead of my great grandad not being able too. Also i looked for noah diton which gives me the address of 183 beacon road chatham if you could find me anymore info it would be much appreciated. My grandmother Nancy was born in Dover but her baptism shows the abode as Caravan North Wall Deal this was in the parish of St Andrews Deal in 1903. Look forward to hearing from you.

Family History Beginners Board / Diton or Dighton family and Garner Family
« on: Saturday 10 August 13 17:31 BST (UK)  »
Hi i have just joined this site today and came across it when i was looking on my maiden name side of the family which is Garner. I have recently found on the 1911 census that my great grandad lived in Sidney Street Victoria Dock Road Tidal Basin London if anyone has any information regarding that period please could you let me know. Also the Dighton or Diton side of the family come from the Romany Gypsy and my great grandad had the name of Sanders or Saunders for his first name and the spellings differ because in those days they didn't know how to write and when the authorities came to write his name my great grandad didn't know how to spell it for them hence the different spelling.
I found that when researching siblings were often named after family members as we three generations of Charles Garner to date and is looking forward to going back further to see if there is any more. email me at (*)
