Hi,

Coroners inquests in Surrey from 1892 to 1933 are divided between 3 districts: Kingston, Reigate and Guildford. Dorking would come under Guildford. The surviving records are held by Surrey History Centre, but they state that no records for Guildford survive before 1925.

Don't know how much googling you've done but there's some information on Ernest here: www.whale.to/v/images/polioimages.html

Hi Norman,

There are quite a few inns/pubs currently listed in Liphook (Deers Hut, Royal Anchor, Caladonian South, Green Dragon, Links, Rising Sun, William Wynne)however, finding which, if any, existed in the 1700's is proving difficult. The Deers Hut dates from the 1600's but was originally a hunting lodge.

There is a Bramshott and Liphook Preservation Society that can be contacted with enquiries at 12 London Road, Liphook, Hampshire GU30 7AN (can't find a website for them).

Is Nicholas Elkins the particular Innkeeper you're interested in? If so, is this website of any interest: www.lewcock.net/genealogy/ It contains Nicholas and descendants.

Hi

I was looking for potential Beatrices on the 1911 census. Putting in first name Beatrice, using wildcard for surname (to account for her possibly being married), birth date 1885 +or- 2yrs, and specifying birth in Headley. This gave two results:

Beatrice Kemp b.1886 age 25 Servant living Farnham Hampshire
Beatrice M Tucker b.1886 age 25 Servant living Alton Hampshire

Then I saw Wozzle's message

do you know if beatrice had a middle name only there is a beatrice bertha kemp who married in the farnham dist in 1908 husband either frank raven blyth or wiliam patrick browne

and found:
Frank Raven Blyth age 26 living with a Beatrice Blyth age 23 in West Ham Essex

Haven't looked at the transcripts so can't confirm marital status of any of these people, but I think the first Beatrice looks most promising.

Found Robert on 1911, listed as 'Bob' age 10. Couldn't find a likely candidate for Thomas though

I have Colin Kemp (1858) marrying Caroline Gibb(s) (1857) and they had the following children:-

William 1881 East Grinstead
Thomas 1883 Headley
Beatrice 1885 Headley
Charles 1887 Headley
Frank 1889 Headley
Kate 1891 Headley
George 1894 Headley
Daisy May 1896 Headley
Martin Wilfred 1898 Headley
Robert 1901 Headley

Can you guys find anything out about them? 

Thank you, Lorretta xxx

There is this brilliant website about Headley www.johnowensmith.co.uk/headley/
There's lots of information to read through but there are lots of Kemp references.
Your Kemp family are in the 1891 and 1901 census pages. Colin Kemp, Carpenter, is listed in the Directories from 1889-1935. Most of the children can be found in the Baptisms section and under Monumental Inscriptions the name of Frank Kemp can be found on the WW1 memorial and there is a William Kemp who died 1956 aged 74 and married an Edith Mary. It's well worth a browse  

Problem - Leopold Joseph Williams died Dec 1883 aged 3 Wandsworth
