I am trying to fill in some gaps in a Bryant family tree and the Kenneth A Bryant listed as a mayor of Torquay is an uncle of my father (also a Kenneth Bryant). Kenneth A Bryant moved to Torquay after being shot during a bank hold-up in Beckenham, Kent. Do your records indicate what the initial "A" stood for or any other details?

Kent Lookup Requests / Re: Ginno - Crayford, Bexley & Woolwich

My branch of the Ginno family had long thought that that the name was of Italian origin. However, more recently, evidence suggests that it may be an Anglicised version of a French name such as Ginneau or Ginneaux. Two of the possibilities are that this came to England by way of French POW's of the Napoleonic wars or Huguenot asylum seekers.

Kent Lookup Requests / Re: Ginno - Crayford, Bexley & Woolwich

One of my ancestors is, I believe, a Thomas Frederick Ginno who, according to the records I have, married Elizabeth. Thomas was buried on 27 December 1804 at Crayford. His widow, Elizabeth, married John Soul at Crayford on 4 July 1808.
The youngest son of Thomas and Elizabeth was Thomas Frederick. He was born on 17 July 1805 at Crayford, baptised on 4 April 1805 and had the occupation of a "coalman/carman". He married Sarah Laurence on 18 February 1827 at St Nicholas church, Plumstead. He died on 3 March 1876 at 15 Herdens, Manorway, Charlton. I have a fairly complete family tree of the Ginno family starting from Thomas and Elizabeth and can provide you with a copy if you would like it.
