Kent / Re: Burts of Kent

Many thanks for coming back! You will be pleased to know we joined g.R yesterday! My cous has been on the case for 30 odd years, admitedly concentrating more on another branch, but this lot have always appeared hard to get started with! Of reputedly 17 children we have only been able to find the birth of 2 children. My cous has even met one aunt years ago, but we can't find her???????????

Re the census stuff, thank you, we had already found that, but everything points to there only being one wife, BUT there was a HUGE variation on the spelling/variation of her christian name. Your help has been appreciated though. Thanks again Doidy & Christine.

Hi. Many thanks for your reply. Not at all patronising, any help appreciated. Firstly I haven't got Thomas's second marriage in 1901, I don't have paid access, but if it were at all possible for you to send details I'd much appreciate it? I have looked at the free partial BMD indexes & been unable to find a definate death for Thoms, William or William's first wife or his second marriage? An aged aunt is sceptital re the marriage bit????????? I can see where you are coming from re checking quarters for William's children but Burt seems to be a very common name in the area, haven't yet been that desparate or had the time! I am so hoping one of the sites will turn up a desc of one of these so called 17 children? My cousin is coming later, will put all this to her. Sincere thanks.Happy New Year  Diana

Kent / Burts of Kent

I am seeking anyone tracing the Burt family of Dartford, Kent. My great grandfather was WILLIAM ABRAHAM BURT b 1869 Dartford (son of THOMAS BURT b 1837 East Grinstead, Sussex). He was the youngest of 6 children. I understand he fathered about 17 children, possibly by 2 wives? The eldest of these was AMY VICTORIA BURT b 1890 Bromley, I then have ANN, LUCY & LUSHANA all born Chiselhurst. It is believed there was a Fred who went to WW11 & didn't come back, he'd have been one of the youngest? As we are after the 1901 census I don't know what to do next? All advice/info very much appreciated. There must be some family out there somewhere? Doidy

Suffolk / Emigrated to Canada - HARVEY
« on: Friday 08 September 06 08:41 BST (UK)  »
My great uncle Frederick Harvey born Ipswich 1904, emigrated to Canada & died unmarried in Barwick,Ontario, circa 1940's. There did exist a photo of him looking like a "Trapper" standing outside a log cabin. I do not know when he emigrated, but instincts say between 1912 & 1925? His mother died in 1912 & his father remarried in 1914. I have not been able to find the father's death but he died before 1925 when my gran married & as the step mum was a witness I guess Fred had aleady emigrated? Also the step mum went on to remarry a man she had been a house keeper to, so I wander if she had coped with a young step daughter but maybe Fred went into an orphanage & was sent abroad as a child, or did he go of his own accord as a young man? If only we asked more questions????????? Of course the date of death of his father would help, but I have scanned the BMD Indexes to no avail, why do these people vanish? Any help re how to trace Fred's emigration appreciated? Thanks in anticipation Diana

Does any one know where Factory Hill, Sherborne is? My husband's great grand father died after falling under the wheel of a brake  there in 1906, whilst returning from a "Nutting" party. Thanks Diana
