St Mildred Canterbury
6 Fowlers passge?
Samuel SCAMP head mar 44 shop dealer b Kent, Littlebourne
Faith wife 39 b Herne st
John son 25 shop dealer b ?arnsgate
Phebe 16

Can any one help us trace Patience Scamp who we think married John Eastwood around 1906. We believe that Patience was the daughter of Sidney J Scamp and have found her in the 1911 census. Noah and Jack Eastwood are the children of Patience and John Eastwood however no records appear to exist?

Do you have Patience in 1901?
