Hi Julia, after googling found your post here on Roots...I believe it possible (she hopes) that my Maternal Grandfather could be related somewhere along the line..the story goes a Relative passed information to me very many years ago concerning my Henry John Golby/Smith born about 1901 he changed his name from Golby to Smith so he could enlist during the 1st World War she also mentioned that she had his original Birth Certificate and he was definitely a Golby obviously I have tried and tried again to contact this person to try and obtain a copy of this said Birth Certificate but she does not want to be found...he is a bit of a mystery man indeed, sometimes known as Harry and leaving the John out..I do have his Marriage Certificate and Death Certificate and his 2 Marriage's..I believe he was born in Dorking 14th March 1901 but cannot be sure..according to the Birth Certificate I have his parents were Harry Smith and Lucy Proudley..still no way of knowing if this is the correct one...this relative of mine did say many years ago there were many with the Surname Golby residing in Kent..I do have Henry/Harry Golby/Smith in 1911 Medhurst Row Edenbridge Kent..his three children were born in Claypits Kent..then by 1932 he was residing in Warlingham Surrey. I have Lucy's other Marriage to Emmanuel Golby "Mannaville"
1874–1927 in 1892 North Holmwood Dorking
BIRTH 1874 2Q • Dorking, Surrey, England
DEATH 21ST AUGUST 1927 • Hampshire, England
husband of great-grandmother
Emmanuel Golby "Mannaville" Parents I believe were Henry Golby and Caroline Foreman Beasley in 1871 Tunbridge.. am I seriously barking up the wrong branch...
Hoping this message reaches you Julia
