Gatehouse family from Walmer & Dover, Kent
« on: Sunday 15 July 12 14:35 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone,
I am keen to find out more about my Kent ancestors, in particular (at the moment) those with the surname my Gatehouse. 

I believe that my gt, gt grandfather, Charles, was baptised in Deal in 1821 and wondered whether anyone has a record of his parents and/or any siblings.  Looking on IGI, the baptism of Charles was the only one of the family I could find in Deal - father Henry, with no mention of mother.

My Gatehouse family was in the Dover area in all the various Census reports and, in some, it states that Charles (sometimes known as Richard) was born in Walmer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a baptism record in St Leonard's Church, Deal as follows:-

16 December 1821 Charles s/o Henry & Rachel GATEHOUSE - North Wall, Lower Deal, Father's Occupation given as Chairmender.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Tony

Hello Victor,

Sorry, but I don't understand pm!  I'm probably missing something very simple!

Hello Tony and thanks for the info. 
Do you have access to local baptisms and marraiges? I wonder if there is a record of the marriage of Henry and Rachel, or any other children?  Thank you.

Thanks Betty.

Does the parish refer to where they were living when they got relief or where they had come from? 

I thought East Malling was quite some way from Walmer, or is there another one?

Thanks, Sally

That's all the info I'm afraid. I got the details from a KFHS CD, but have discovered them also online: http://kfhs-deal.bravehost.com/poor_law/poorlaw.htm

As far as I know there is only one East Malling, which is about 40 miles from Walmer.

Thank you again - it may well tie in somewhere along the way.
