Kent Lookup Requests / Re: Dartford Union Workhouse 1901
« on: Saturday 17 December 16 11:56 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks Jolee.... 'My' Thomas was born in 1825 in Wendover, Bucks. and it is listed thus on 1901 Census which made me think it may be a match. So unless someone made a mistake in recording the ages at death. I don't know if 'my' Thomas had family in Dartford environs. I think his wife died in 1900 in Romford, Essex. :-\ I shall keep trying to sort it out.  Happy Christmas.

Kent Lookup Requests / Dartford Union Workhouse 1901
« on: Saturday 17 December 16 06:22 GMT (UK)  »
The 1901 Census shows a person I believe to be my GGGrandfather (Thomas Humphreys b. 1825, Wendover, Buckinghamshire)  as an inmate at the Dartford Union Workhouse. I would like to find out more about him - why was he there, how long was he there, when did he die? etc.. The Centre for Kentish Studies, which is where I believe the records are housed, does not appear to list any online capacity for research.  Can anyone suggest a way to access these records given I am not able to get there.  :)

Suffolk / Re: Gildersleeves

I have being working through the information you provided in the last post Annette.  :)
I have some questions around this:
1)William, whom you identify as Gilders....I have being born to Mary Whyard not Sarah Whyard.  Where did you find the name Sarah Whyward ?
2) The bp date for William Gilders is 2-3 years earlier than the suggested birth dates on the Census forms when he is married to Sarah Bobbit.  I have tended to feel that is too much of a difference to connect them ?  Not sure what others think of this difference.
3) I cant correlate Robert bp1785-d.1811 with any of my Robert's  :-\
4) I think there is another Robert b.1791 after Robert b.1777 who is the Father to Harriet (1822-63), Charlotte b.1819, Joseph b.1823, John b.1831, Sylvia b.1834, James b,1836, Thomas b.1839. The mother is identified as Mary Proon b.1797, m.1815, d.1853.  I have all these as children of Robert b.1777 and Mary Whyard but perhaps it is incorrect.  This may have something to do with (1) ?  But I am not sure who Robert b,1791 is the son of ?

Wow Annette 😀 thank you for this clarity.  I have looked at the Gilders surname and thought it must be a permutation of Gildersleeves but never realized the names were so permeable ( not sure if that is the right word).  More study....... Thank you.  Purudaya.

Thank you ribbo39 and Annette7.   :)  This is all helpful....  I will follow up all those suggestions.  and keep looking at the maps !!...I am visiting the UK in July and hope I shall be able to have a day at the Suffolk Records Office.  Their collection is not online yet as far as I can tell.  Cheers Purudaya.  :)

Suffolk / Re: Gildersleeves

Thank you.   :) Yes I have read about Richard Gildersleeves in USA, one of the foundation Puritan families it seems.  But that is about 150 years earlier than my enquiry.  I guess the emigrant Puritans are related in some way but it is too early for my enquiries.  My family stayed in Suffolk.   I am working backwards to discover the earlier generations.  Thanks for the link to the Gildersleeve genealogy, I hadn't seen that page before. :)

Thank you. I am sure you are right.  Some of the family came from Shotley also. So I will change to Samford  :)

Suffolk / Gildersleeves
« on: Wednesday 25 May 16 07:03 BST (UK)  »
Hi....my grandmother was a Gildersleeve born in London but her Father (Harry b1855-1915) came from Saxmundham, Suffolk.
I believe his parents were William Gildersleeves (1813-78)  and Sarah Bobbit (1814-86). 
I believe William's parents were Robert Gildersleeves (1777- 1834) and I think Mary Whyard (1777-1853).  But Roberts death in Stamford, Suffolk says he was 69 years which would mean he was born before my suggested date.  I think I have confused the Robert Gildersleeves - there are many of them. I suspect I have missed a generation but I cannot seem to locate it.
I also thought Robert married Mary Whyard but I cannot remember where that info came from and I have not recorded it. Also I have found a record which suggests that a Robert Gildersleeves was married to a Mary Proom - 27/12/1815 ?  around the same time as the one I was looking at.. Is he the Robert Gildersleeves who was the Father of William? .....I dont know where to look to find out further information as to:
a) who is the correct Robert Gildersleeves ? ie my gGrandFather's grandfather ?
b) who did he marry ?
c) his antecedents?
d) where can I find a photo of Saxmundham in the 1850's or later ?

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.  :D

PS  :-\ Did the Grandaughter believe the unknown woman in the photo I sent was Sarah Blair ?
