KILMISTER in Brighton, Sussex in 1901

[sillgen]

There is a death in Brighton in 1894 for Thomas Kilmister aged 74.   I wonder if he left a will?  They do appear to be quite an affluent family so it is highly likely.  Isabella's will be interesting too.  Maiden aunts often mention lots of people.

The marriage for Charles Kilmister and Pamela Gates is on www.familysearch.org   8 Jul 1866 in Littlehampton
There is also a record of someone researching the Brighton Family under the pedigree resources bit.  May be worth contacting them if you can see a link.  Marjorie Ruth Kilmister born 1897.
The Bridle family are on the IGI too - children of Henry and Hannah.

Hi Sillgen & Hepburn

I'm really impressed with your combined efforts to assist me.  Thank you both very much.

His children earlier are registered as Kilmister so it is probably the right family.  Still cannot find any of them in 1901.

Jessie Kilmister is my great, great grandmother... Unfortunately I don't have a huge amount more to offer- I do have a basic Kilmister family tree. I also recognise that this post was from 2008! DF

Hi Danielle

Thanks for resurrecting the Kilmister correspondence.  Is the family tree on paper or in digital form?  I would love to see a copy.

Regards

Robin

Hi Robin,

I'm Kirsten Flower (sister to Danielle). I'm sure we have a family tree but it's currently stored with other documents. I am able to confirm that Jessie Kathleen Kilmister had 12 siblings. She married Harry Hole and they had 6 children (including a son also named Harry). Jessie's family migrated to South Africa whilst she stayed in Sussex. One of their sons was named Jack Hole who married Nellie Amelia Redford. They then gave birth to Jacqueline Hole, who married Martin Boyce. They had a daughter named Louise who married Roy Flower and they gave birth to 6 daughters (me and Danielle included!). We are currently living in Sussex and our Nan would be able to emphasise on anything you would need to know! She also has photos including the Kilmister family which could potentially include Beatrice. Sorry for the whole family history, I thought it would be good to verify!

Hi Kirsten

Thanks so much for all the very useful information.  I would be very pleased if you are able to provide full names and dates and places of birth, marriage and death for the family members that you have mentioned.  Thank you for contacting me.

Married Harry Hole 1897 Brighton, Sussex.

Between 1898 and 1908, she gave birth to 6 children, 3 boys and 3 girls. Thomas, Patience, Harry jr, Jack were all born in Cuckfield. Kathleen was born in Albourne. Dorothy Rhoda in Bramber.

There are corresponding deaths of Bridle, Gates, Kilmister and Sayers. Whom are the parents and grandparents of Jessie.

My nan has said she has the family tree of other side of the family (including the Bridles and Sayers), Jessies family has the Kilmister family tree. I now have photos of our family trees, including ones that go further back past Charles Kilmister and now have pictures of the family.
