Hi Folks now i've got the bug i am looking for information on William Patrick Kent.
Born 1900
Died 1940 due to bombing raids on the harland and wolff yards in London.
Possible residence was in the Welling / Bexley area's but could be anywhere within sight of the thames.
He is Buried in Bexleyheath cemetery on 23rd Sept 1940.
We have just found out that he was my wifes grandfather so any info will be very welcome.
Many Thanks.
Tom.

Was he William Patrick, of Kent
Or William Patrick Kent (Kent being surname)
May sound a silly question but I remember on another thread once we were searching for someone for ages under what we thought was the surname, and it turned out to be the place he/she was born!!!
Any more info known about him? Do you have his marriage cert to grandma?

Hi Liz the surname is Kent lol but i can appreciate how some would view it as poss the place lol
Hi Tati to be honest i aint got a clue as its a stab in the dark so to speak.
Are you saying that william had siblings while in dartford??
If so he was young to have em lol being as he would have been 11 months old in 1901 lol.
Sorry its my sense of humour i keep getting told off by my wife about it lol.

Sorry Tati no as this has only recently come to light ya see.
And it's one of those wonderful case's where things were kept quiet and there is unfortunately no-one left to ask.

The CWGC gives his parents as Thomas & Charlotte http://www.cwgc.org so I would say, almost without doubt, that Tati has the correct family in 1901 with father using his middle name of Thomas.
