Hi everyone
I just wanted to say hi. I'm looking at my Carey line (paternal grandmother) and one of her aunts Richelda married a Dighton I believe.
I also have other Deightons in my tree but would need to look to find the links.
Does anyone remember any Carey's around Belvedere and Sidcup areas?
Kind regards
Claire
Hi, I found a Kate ( daughter of Samson and Louisa ) living with a Laurence Dighton in 1901, but they may have married in 1948, or it is a different Catherine Carey and Laurence Dighton rofl. I believe that Laurence may be the one that lived in Essex during one of the censuses but he was in Kent in some of them too along with quite a few siblings. He may be connected to my Dightons somewhere but I haven't found the connection yet due to a lack of official marriage records and tons of name changes.
I found Richelda Carey with her parents and a marriage index for a Richelda Dighton but where first names tend to be banded around I won't assume its the same Richelda until the image / certificate surfaces somewhere. Okay, confirmed .. Richelda Dighton, daughter of William Dighton married Matthew Scamp in 1906. So no marriage for Richelda or a census record showing her living with a Dighton.
