Kent / Charlton, Dover

Hello...

We are travelling down to Kent next month on holiday and we are taking time out to go grave hunting for my ancestors in Dover plus sight seeing to see where they lived etc.  As it is my first visit and probably my last and not knowing the area I would like to be well prepared.

I know most of my ancestors are buried at St Mary the Virgin however I have a 2x gt uncle who is buried at Charlton.

The problem I have is that from his obituary it states that he is buried at Charlton Cemetery which I had googled however I have recently found on FindMyPast his burial at Ss Peter and Paul Church, Charlton.

I would really appreciate any help as to where I should look first please.

Regards..

Linda

Cheshire / Re: HEATON NORRIS - Old Pictures/Photos Wanted

Thank you Bill...I have also bookmarked your website and will keep watching.

As you say Ray T it is difficult to define where the Heatons begin and end.  I was born in the mid 1940s in Heaton Norris on Didsbury Road.  The theory going back was that Heaton Norris finished at Bankhall Road off Didsbury Road...if you took a right onto Bankhall Road you were in Heaton Moor carrying on to Heaton Chapel.  Carrying up for a short distance on Didsbury Road it became Heaton Mersey...where I attended both St Winifred's schools.

As BMDs from the Heaton Norris area are found on the Cheshire BMD site I would think it would be most appropriate to discuss on this Cheshire board.

Kindest regards..

I am wondering why my 2x gt Uncle b1887 Dover, Kent would be in Ireland military speaking in the early 1900s please...I have found he married in Dublin in 1910 and in the 1911 Irish census he is in Pelletstown, Castleknock, Dublin....occup as Driver with the 1st Field Squadron. He must have enlisted at an early age, sadly his WW1 service records didn't survive to possibly shed more light though he was in France during the war...from my 2x gt grandfather's obituary.

Any help very much appreciated..
