Hi

I have Edward Sankey as the father of your John Sankey. I have Edward down as being born in 1695 in Milton, Kent.

I don't know much about John Sankey who was born in Ireland apart from his year of birth was about 1655. Do you have anything to add to this ?

Thanks Alan. Following this information I have now found other material to confirm that Edward was indeed the father of my John.

The only information that I have about John Senior is second or third hand and is as follows. He came over from Ireland to work on the Newtons' farm in Poldhurst Court near Harbledown in Kent. Why he should come all that way is a mystery. When his master died John married his widow Margaret. Apparently John left a will signed in 1733. He died on 4.11.1733 and probate was granted in 1740 (!) at the Archdeaconry Court of Canterbury. I have not yet been able to check this will.

The hearsay in http://www.austenfamily.org/sankey.html is interesting. The reference to King John is found in http://www.localhistories.org/liverpool.html

Hi,
I noticed you have an interest in Jarmans at Chatham. i'd be intererested to know the exact connection. mine relates to Jarman dockyard workers from the 1630s to 1760s - see www.jarmanfamilyhistory.com.

regards,
Patrick Jarman

Hi

We might have a connection somewhere but looking around your site I just can not see it. I can not see any of my Jarman's mentioned on your site anywhere, these are the ones I have:

Please note: I have Thomas listed as being born in 1805, this is incorrect as I now believe he was born in 1797 and that he died somewhere between 1851 and 1861.

Yes, I think that your Jarmans are a little later than mine. But worth keeping in mind as there may well be a connection  at some point. Patrick

Hi.  I'm descended from the Pettmans of Kent and have so far traced my tree back to 1606 in Ickham, Kent.  Can we help each other at all?  Jacky

Possibly, everything I know is on my website:

That will take you to the list of them.
