Hi again, you seem to have more info re Henry George Letchford, than I have been able to attain so far, and from your initial post possibly the marriage certificate for Richard and Mary Ann, would that be correct?

If so could you post any details that you believe could help us ie if you have the marriage cert the names and occupations of both father's. (Richard's parents are possibly William and Mahala)

I see a marriage in March 1903 Medway 2a 917 of a Henry George Letchford to a Charlotte Ann Robinson, is this your Henry?

Hi again, just tieing up a few things:-

On the 1891 with Thomas and Mary Ann Shersby were 2 children of the couple ie an Elizabeth Matilda Shersby b c 1883 and Albert Edward Shersby b c 1885 both Gravesend, in December qtr 1903 Medway 2a 1432 Elizabeth Matilda Shersby marries an Ernest Masters, also a William Rich_rd Letchford dies in December qtr 1892 Medway 2a 329 aged 26

I can locate both children in 1901 with Thomas and Mary Ann at the Brompton Barracks in Gillingham Census Ref RG13/738/90/8, but the whereabouts of Albert Edward Shersby from 1901 onwards is proving a puzzle?!

Hi again, this looks to be the parents of Mary Ann Cramp in 1851, only problem I am having is locating a likely birth for Mary Ann and locating her in 1851 and 1861?!

This is the 1841/51 for what I believe are her parents and siblings:-

1841 Census

Hannah Finch 30
William Cramp 30 occ Shoe Maker
Ruth 7
Rosana 6
Census Ref HO107/490/ 3/39/ 24

1851 Census

William Cramp 42 occ Shoe Maker b Kingsworth
Mary 41 b Thornham
Ruth 17 occ Shoe Binder
Rose 16 occ Shoe Binder
George 6
Robert 2
Arthur 3 months
Residing at 18, George Street, Maidstone
All children born Maidstone
Census Ref HO107/1617/165/21

In Sept 1859 Maidstone 2a 699 William Cramp marries a Matha Windschefel/Windscheffe, as William Venner Cramp

It is the large gap between birth of Rose and George that puzzles me, and where is Mary Ann?

Good morning,
This is way more than I thought I would find.  Many thankyous.

Re Albert Edward SHERSBY, first appears On 1913 Qld Electoral Roll 1913, and still appears in Qld till 1958.  Dies 1960 Bris, Qld BDM 1960/B40947  Father Thomas & mother Mary Ann Day.  (not one of her previous names, CRAMP/LETCHFORD/REGAN(T).  Wondering if married and came with family?

At Richard LETCHFORD and Mary Ann CRAMP's wedding the witness was Thomas DAY...so need further research.

Also need to look at Thomas SHERSBY/Mary Anne REGAN(T) Marriage for details.
