Hi there everyone
This is to all you Sedgwick descendants from Lenham, Boughton Malherbe, Hollingbourne and surrounding villages. Not forgetting Dover.
My name is Dawn Alison Sedgwick and I am a direct descendant from John Sedgwick and Mary Else both from Lenham just outside Maidstone in Kent England.
For the past 11 years I have been researching my family history (since my father passed away) and I am now in the process of compiling a Family Book with all the info (from photos, stories, documents, newspaper reports, military records etc) for future generations to carry on, all the work done for them in one complete book. I am looking for anybody out there that may be a direct descendant to the Sedgwick's from Dover or the above (either through marriage or birth) to share their stories photos etc (all will be mentioned in the book)all living people are kept private unless they say otherwise)).
I am planning a Family Reunion on the 19th October 2014, kick off at 13.30 and finishing at 16.30 well somewhere around that time (bouncy castle to keep the kids occupied). Nibbles will be supplied just bring a bottle. This will give everybody the opportunity to see the book, although it will not be finished (but not far off), this will also give everybody the chance to chat, swap notes or just meet up, I am also in the process of designing a Family Bible.
I do have a small web site which gives you an in site as to what I have been doing.
Go on get in touch. Even if you are reading this and are not related but know someone that is then pass on my contact details the more the merrier.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Regards
Dawn
Daughter to the late Edward Henry Sedgwick
