Belvedere Marsh?  Nowhere near Romney but there was a large Gypsy camp there!  If so, try Bexley Council who hold the records for their cemteries http://www.bexley.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=3608

Yes, that sounds more likely. I knew there was a marsh involved but I am just going by the snippets of conversation that we picked up as kids. I will phone them Monday.

Thank you for your time and effort, Andy

Not sure if this is the correct way to address this post, but most of the families who lived on Belvedere Marshes were buried in Brook Street Cemetery, Erith, which is really between Northumberland Heath & Nuxley Village, ( Upper Belvedere as was!).
There are Ayres there, just cant remember which.
Again, dont know how to go about this, but have drawn a blank on looking for my 3x great grandfather Richard Lee's parents. He was born in Minster (Sheppey) 1817. I have tried to join Sittingbourne Historical soc to access Births etc, but keep getting access codes that dont work. If you could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it, as I know you have Lees as an interest.
regards,
Adrian Lane.

Hi Adrian,

thanks for the pointer to Erith cemetery I will try them on Monday.

Sory but I don't have the Lee family as an interest, I think you are confusing me with someone else.
Have you tried the Travelling People page.
