Hello loggaman

Just joined Rootschat and saw your request. Can't help much but may be able to shed some light.
On 5th April 1840 Henry Albert GODDARD was born to Samuel Solomon & Elizabeth GODDARD. Samuel is shown as being a Coast Guard living in North End Watch House. The fact that he was a Coast Guard and living where he did implies he was not local. A lot of the Coastguards were employed by the Navy and sent to do their stint of duty much like a sailor or soldier would today. He would presumably have got married before he came to Deal and may have had more children after he left.
I'm sorry I cannot be of more help as there is no way of telling where he came from or went to.

Hello Roger

I've just joined Rootschat and found your request. I know it's a long time since you posted it so the information may be out of date, but if you already have it at least it will confirm what you have.
I'm not a Darby but have an interest in the population of Deal and so looked up the Darby family.

Charles & Elizabeth DARBY had the following children baptised at St George's church:

8-9-1786    Charles DARBY    married Hanna (surname unknown)
28-3-1788  Edward DARBY    married Jane    (surname unknown)
31-1-1790  Elizabeth Ann DARBY
11-5-1791  Mary DARBY
4-12-1793  William DARBY     married Mary SPENCER  22-10-1838
21-2-1796  John DARBY

Children of Charles & Hanna:

10-8-1810  Jane Hunter DARBY
19-8-1812  Hannah Hunter DARBY
29-6-1814  Edward DARBY  married Mary Ann JARVIS 14-1-1837  Edward was first a Baker living at Folly Court, later in Lower Street       
7-6-1816    Thomas William Hunter DARBY                                    (now  the High Street), by 1847 he was a Victualler then a Baker 
                                                                                                       again by 1850 living in Water Street.
Children of Edward & Mary:

1-10-1837  Mary Ann Jarvis DARBY
19-5-1840  Elizabeth Jarvis DARBY
3-12-1841  Charles DARBY
6-9-1843    Harriet Jane DARBY
10-9-1845  Maria Hunter DARBY
5-11-1847  Henry Hunter DARBY
25-101850  Hannah Hunter DARBY
 
These records are taken from St George's Church Parish records and are as accurate as records can be, given the amount of human error that abounded while they were being taken down. I do not yet have the records for the other Church, St Leonards, but if you are interested I will look them up when next in the Library in case there are any further children.

Annoyingly, the Marriage Records for the first half of the 19th century for St George's were lost many years ago. It may well have had the marriages of the other Darbys.

Dates are of Baptism, not Birth.

I hope this is of some help

Hello everyone. I have just joined Rootschat and this is my first post.

I have in my records several Finnis families in Deal. At first glance Willmot & Susanna FINNIS had 13 children 1782-1802. John and Mercy had 2. William & Jane, John & Sarah, John & Mildred, Philip & Sarah all had children 1805-1821.

I haven't listed the children as they may be of no interest but let me know if you need them.
The Finnis' are an old Deal family and there are quite a lot of them, but nowhere near as many as Marsh, the biggest family of all.
