P.S Mark.
I believe the leaflet came from The Strood History Centre so may be you could obtain another?

Hi Mark.
Yes that’s my GG grandfather Josiah Illman!
If my memory is correct I gave it to my dear dad who died in December 2013 aged 96.
He was very interested in the nursery as it was owned by his mother’s family.
He was still gardening and fell in his garden before his death.
Unfortunately I didn’t sort out his home as I live in Perth Australia along way from Strood.
I did research Charles Dickens letters where Josiah is mention!
Dickens was buying ferns for his home Gads Hill Place which was very near to my childhood home!
Yes I would love any information you have.


Kind regards from Perth,Jean.

I posted ages ago!
Thankyou for the information but not sure why I asked!
My Gx 2 grandfather Josiah Illam was born 1820 Burstow son of Richard and Mary Illman.
The family moved to Strood Kent not sure when but Richard remarried 1835 in Strood.
Best wishes from Perth Australia.🦘🎄🦘

Hi Dale John.
Have you found any connection to my McCelland family?
As I said my family must have come from Scotland to Ireland but yet to find who did!

Thankyou so much for your help.
I can’t find a connection to anyone from Scotland but I have 23% Scottish DNA on my mother’s side.
But Agnes Lumsden was born in Scotland!
I only know my mother said her middle name was from her mother’s aunt Jean who lived in Scotland!
Only 4% Irish DNA!
Thankyou again.
Happy New Year from Perth Australia.

I did some more research and Sarah was only 14 at the time of my grandmother’s birth!
I wonder if she was the mother and her sister and brother in law looked after the baby or there was a mix up when the baby was registered!
