Europe / Re: SPAIN family Sandwich Kent
« on: Thursday 30 October 08 22:34 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Rob

Very complicated these Spains. I also have a John SPAIN from "near Dover" but he was born 1804 at Bushy Ruff, a small hamlet just outside Dover (now known as Temple Ewell). Do you have any more details as I have heard today that another branch of the local SPAIN's (currently I'm unable to link to them) moved to Australia sometime after WWII.

I am particularly interested in the London connection as I have a Henry Charles SPAIN born c.1828. Sometimes he was born in London, sometimes he was born in Kent depending on which document you read! We cannot find his birth locally (Ramsgate, Kent).

Can you help? My tree can be viewed at www.philspain.f2s.com.

Regards,

Phil SPAIN
b. Ramsgate 1949

Family lore has it on my maternal side that our ancestors were Spanish. I have recently had a breakthrough tracing an Elizabeth SPAIN who was my gggggrandmother to Sandwich in Kent, marrying John PERKINS in 1797.

Hi Roma

I've just found the above message via a Google search. I am a SPAIN living in Ramsgate (6 miles from Sandwich) and have an Elizabeth SPAIN in my tree who may be your gggggrandmother. She was born around 1778 in Folkestone (24 miles from Sandwich). I also have a later SPAIN of the same family living in Sandwich in 1861, and others in the same area. My tree is proved back to William SPAIN who was born in the early 1700's, but I still can't get back any further.

Can you help me or can I help you?

Regards,

Phil

St Lawrence is part of Ramsgate, and Ramsgate is on the Isle of Thanet. St Lawrence was a small village that developed into the town of Ramsgate.

The church is St Laurence, everything else is St Lawrence.
