REDSULL/BRETT - Eastry

[Just Kia]

I've just looked through and I haven't had the cert I ordered for Alfred's marriage yet (I'll have to call the post office tomorrow - they have a habit of hanging to my post for some reason).

My grandfather Edward Arthur John REDSULL (born Jules Jeffrey DEVOS) was adopted by Alfred James and Margaret REDSULL in Deal/Eastry when he was 6 weeks old.
They were unable to have children of their own, so he grew up as an only child with them.

It'd be nice if I were able to sort out exactly who his adoptive parents were though.
I know there were a large number of REDSULL's in the Deal/Eastry area.

I could not find Alfred James Redsull on the free bmd, but found him on the Ancestry.co.uk index 4th  qtr 1887 and on the census for 1891,

On the free BMD it gives the names Margaret Brett and Ellen Roberts.  On the Kent Registration web site,  Alfred matches  Ellen Roberts with the no 421.
Margaret matches William Piper with the no 420.

So when you get the marriage certificate it should give you the correct information.

The information on the internet is not always right.

I am in contact with Pam Davies, who grandfather was Percy Redsull.

Look forward to hearing from you again.

Just noticed the date on this thread.....but Alf was my Great grandfather! He was a funny old boy. I thought he was a pirate because of his eye patch.

Thanks Yvonne.... I didnt need any info as already had it, just was nice to see people talking about Alf! He was still alive when i was little, my grandfather (Robert, Alf's son) use to take me to his little terranced house in Albert Road, Deal on a sunday, so I could ride the horse he kept in his back garden!! I was a little scared of Alf, he seemed so big and gruff and had a leather eye patch, due to losing his eye during the war!
