Kent / Tracing Kent ancestors back beyond 1595
« on: Wednesday 01 September 21 07:55 BST (UK)  »
I pickup the family tree bug of wanting to go back as far as I can. However, seem to hit a brick wall with the Death of my 10th Great Granfather death in 1595 in Monkton Kent. I guess this is when they started keeping records. Is there anyway of tracing further back ?  Would any records be church based and in latin? Any tips greatly appreciated.

Best Regards
Richard

World War One / Ernest Edward Studham my Grandfathers WW1 service
« on: Monday 30 August 21 20:24 BST (UK)  »
I am having trouble finding any reference to my Grandfathers service record. He was a police officer at Portsmouth City during the outbreak of hostilities  and there is a break in his police record. There was some suggestion that he had joined the military police. However, I remember my father mentioning that he was in a Rifles brigade. I have tried searching but come up with Ernest Studham another relation who I believed was killed during the war. My Grandfather returned to the Portsmouth City Police after his service and was promoted to Sargent then about 4 months later to Inspector which was not unusual for that time due to shortages from losses and retirements.

I would appreciate any ideas on how I can discover his regiment and service record.
Thank you Richard
