Kent / Re: Joy/Botting/King/Martin Family of Brenchley

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for your response! I have used Ancestry.com for most of my research regarding the Joy family. According to the records I've been able to find, Ernest James Mace Joy was born to James Albert Joy and Mary Clara Prendergast in Maidstone, 1845. It looks like the family then moved to Brenchley. Ernest married Elizabeth Hickmott in April 1866 (in Cranbrook?), and they emigrated to the US in 1867 with their infant son, Harold. Several more children were born after the family settled in Akron, Ohio (Rufus, Lionel, Oliver, Herman, Eli, Bessie Clora, Laura, Minnie, James and Eunice). Their son Harold was my great grandfather. His daughter Josephine was my father's (Harry) mother.
