I may be muddying your waters unnecessarily - my apologies if this is not relevant - but I have a cousin Harriet Deadman b.1877 Northfleet, Kent who married Richard Symons in 1893, Richard was from Croydon. They had a son Richard who was born in Northfleet.
Hi all
I know the thread is old but I've only just found and joined the group.
My great great grandfather was Thomas Dedman (Deadman), presumably part of the Sussex Dedman family. He was born in Telscomb but moved to Fawkham, Longfield, Kent in the late 1700s. He is presumably an ancestor of Harriet Deadman, mentioned by Moscatella.
I would be interested in the Sussex Dedman clan. Thomas' father and grandfather were from Telscomb, married, I believe, to Mary Mitchener and Sarah? Sourk, respectively.
Best regards
Mike Deadman
