[mikehobbs]

I am looking for anyone who may have a connection to the JOY family in Brenchley, Kent. I have shown a brief outline of my connection to the JOY line and hope to find someone who can help me extend my family tree.

Hi Mike
I think we corresponded about 10 years ago about the Joy family!
I will have a look and see if I have anything new but I think the stumbling block is the parentage of George Joy as the PRs indicate missing pages and poor record keeping at the time of his baptism/birth. I think George could be the brother of my ancestor John Joy son of William Joy and his wife Elizabeth.

Hi Bulsara
What timescale are we talking about for Harold and Alice?
I have a lot of info on the Brenchley Joys as my family lived there from about 1600 to the late 1880s and I have followed up quite a few lines.

Hello again
I have a Harold Joy born about 1882 in Brenchley - is he likely?  If so, I have quite a lot of information on his ancestors.

Hi Mike

I've noticed that you have the surname Martin as part of your subject line but I can't see any mentioned in your message. I have a few Martins born in Brenchley in my tree.  The earliest so far being Robert Martin bapt 10 Jul 1785 who married Sarah  Parks 17 Feb 1806 in Brenchley. Do you think there is any connecton?

Regards Genna

Hi Bulsara
According to Free BMD Harold G Joy married Sep 1910 and an Alice Watkins is also listed with the same reference. 
In 1901 he was still living at home with his parents and siblings, in Paddock Wood, and his occupation was Bricklayer - a trade that runs in the Joy family.
What would you like to know about Harold?
Barbara

[bulsara]

Barbara,
Have you any info on him since his marriage?
One of his grandchildren was murdered but I don't know her name.I have very little info on them,my auntie knew more as she was evacuated down to live with them during the war.
Did the Larkin name mean anything to you?
