Eastwood family - travellers, Kent, 1860's

[ladynicotine]

Hi Foxglove

I don't seem to have "your" Richard in my tree I'm afraid, & the only listings I've seen would be for the wrong generation.  I did find some useful information on the following website, which might give you additional avenues to try:

If you've not already done so, it's worth looking on IGI as well.  I've found a few useful leads there.  The real problem of course is that being travellars they didn't always register things officially.  And they did like keeping names in the family

Hope this helps.

In reply to an old post from Lady Nicotine.

My mother's side of the family are Hackers (not computer hackers) and in 1911 Mum's father is on the census as living in Dartford with Alfred and Caroline Slater and their son Jack. He was sent to them as his mother had died in 1910 and Alfred is his uncle.

My family had heard of the marriage of Alfred and I'm not sure if it wasn't a bit sensational then and it has become romanticised since. Do you know any more about the Slaters family rumours are that he did well for himself and was something of a 'big wig' in Dartford.

I know it was ages ago that you posted but anything you know would be welcome and likewise anything I can offer on the in-laws you are welcome to.
