Delo family in Kent

[Nanny with Rosie]

My granddaughter is researching the Delo branch on her family tree and would like to hear from anyone researching this name in Kent.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

There were quite a few entries for that surname in Kent on the 1911 index so can you give some details of which particular branch is being researched to help anybody reading your post

[Nanny with Rosie]

Hi - thank you for responding.

She has got back to Frederick b.1820 m. Eliza Eldridge in 1851 - it is where she has hit 'the wall' and cannot seem to proceed any further.   Can you help - do you know that tree?

I can see Frederick DELO, a whitesmith, on the 1861 census with wife Eliza in Canterbury but he was born c1830 (not c1820) Canterbury.  There is a match on the 1851 census (bc1830) where he is at home with his parents ............ name/age/birthplace/occupation all match.  We can post the details if you don't have it.

Thank you Casalguidi for your reply - a typo on my part I should have put 1830, but any further info would assist as would anything on the family on the generations and locations before that time.

I wish I had found this site long ago - it has been most useful and helpful.
