Hi Maggie, has been a while! What is your username on Ancestry so I can see if I hit on dna with you. Many Spratling descendants have dna tested but whether we all got some shared dna is another question

Newly built houses of today have no character whatsoever compared to these old houses

Hi Maggie, Years ago I was in contact with Tony Spratling but has been a while. I also have the Spratling book. My grandparents being Geoffrey Russell Jones Spratling and Lucy May Loft/Candy. I don't know a whole lot about East Kent/Sandwich.
Yes definitely on Facebook daily. I'll add myself to that group.
Sarah Finnis married Bolding Hook. Daughter Ann Bolding Hook married William Sherwood. Son William Sherwood married Emma Rebecca Jacobs (in Australia). Son William Frederick Sherwood married Violet Ethel Brown. Daughter Violet Dorothy May Sherwood married Arthur Ronald Loft. Daughter Lucy married Geoffrey Spratling. Then of course, up from Geoffrey to John and Ann Spratling, and down to your Ann. If that makes any sense lol. Have you done dna by any chance?

ps. I'm listed in the Spratling book also

Hi Maggie, Yep my Mum born a Spratling in Victoria, Australia. I think, if I have Ann Spratling's lineage right, that John Spratling and Ann Rowe are the common ancestors there. They are my 3x great grandparents through their son Thomas Spratling who came to Australia and married Mary Ann Pledge.

Yep the spelling of Bolding has differed over the different records but I keep it at Bolding as his parents were Thomas HOOK and Martha BOLDING married 30 Sep 1745 • Waltham, St Bartholomew, Kent, England. Record is on Find My Past which I dont have but someone thankfully checked for me. I Googled Bolding's name and this massive FINNIS thread showed up 
I only got onto the HOOK family after an exhaustive search for my ggg grandfather William SHERWOOD in Australia and his parents listed as William Sherwood and Ann HOOK and there was a whole lot more info on them from there once I cracked that mini brickwall. I didn't have Sarah FINNIS"s parents at all

« on: Monday 31 July 17 06:36 BST (UK) »Thanks John and AJ for all the info.Just another thing, I just noticed the SPRATLING in your post and my mum is a SPRATLING and see I have Ingram Bormley Finnis in my tree already as apparently the father-in-law of my first cousin 3 times removed. They are attached to my mum's dad's side. Bolding HOOK and Sarah Finnis are also on mum's side, but on her mum's side. I may be able to connect the two 'bits' up in my tree I guess lol
Ingram Bromley married Julia Margaret 15.12.1851 in Deal. Ingram was a butcher. They moved to Sandwich, my gt grandfather John Belsey Finnis was born 20th July 1852. He married Ann Spratling b 1857 in Sandwich on 11th November 1877 at The IndependentChapel, Cattle Market, Sandwich.
If you go to the Open Sandwich web site, it is about the town of Sandwich, you will find under History, transcriptions of memorials in St Clement's churchyard. There are two for the Finnis family. On a visit there found the deaths of two of Ingram and Julia's sons which were on the front of the parent's headstone. These two sons' deaths haven't been transcribed. It was by accident I came across this grave.
