I suspect that it is this one
LEE, JOHN       mmn ERNETT   
1872  March Quarter in MEDWAY  Volume 02A  Page 499

chempat,
I was wondering if they were travellers  :-\

Maybe surname was Emett

Ahhh.

Stopped looking before 1872.

Could not find marriage or death for her or any census entry.

Will try again.

I thought  Travellers, also.

Looks as though Sly Kates Hill could be  Slicketts Hill

Yes.

But does not help to find them in any censuses or death for Dorinda.

Irish?

Have you got any censuses for the family?
