Thank you so much for what you are doing for me.
I have not yet subscribed to any site at the moment, but I shall do so in the New Year as I will be convalescing from an operation and will have a lot of time to start my research in earnest.

I shall visit the sites you have mentioned and let you know how I get on.

Regards

Anthony

There was something that I remember, my father said that he had a brother lost in WW1 even before my father was born, and I believe that the brother may have been below the age requirements then to go to war!

It's all such a long time ago and it's not easy remembering things. I guess I would like to work backwards from now.

Hello Barbara
How nice it is to hear from you, they were my fathers parents and maybe when I was very young I did meet them at Paddock Wood, either in Commercial Road or Old Kent Road where they had their family living with them and also in some houses which I believe were built by the family.

I am now 68yo and would like to know more about the relatives. As I recall we were never a close knit family on our side but our roots are all in Paddock Wood/Brenchley.

I would be very pleased to know what info you may have as I have none at the moment and I consider myself to be a computer illiterate so it is going to be a very slow process for meto collect and collate the info.

All help is welcome.

Regards

Anthony

Hi
My name is Anthony Joy, my father was Gordon Dumbrell Joy of Paddock Wood he was born in about 1916/17 is now deceased.
I too am trying to put together some family history. At the moment I have no info on the recent years i.e. late 1800's up to present. Albert (Bert) Joy, Cyril Joy, Molly Joy, Patrick Joy rings  a bell, these are some names that spring to mind. My father once told me that Harold Joy who ran Paddock Wood post office was the son of one of his brothers. At the moment I have a fairly blank canvas and I would like to put some colour on it.
Any info would be helpful.

Anthony
