Hi Kate

Great to hear from another Thorpe descendant.

I have sent you a personal message.  However as you are new to Rootsweb you may have difficulty replying to me with a personal message.  If so just post two more messages to Rootsweb which could be two more brief replies to this message.  This will free up your personal message facility.

Best wishes

Roger

Hi Suzannah

I actually signed up for access to the scans of the South Eastern Gazette yesterday and to be honest I am rather disappointed with it.  I find that it is not very user friendly as it is very difficult to determine which results are the ones that are of interest.

Maybe I am doing something wrong. Have you tried to search this collection of newspapers?

Thanks for that Suzannah.

I have emailed Ramsgate Library.

Thanks Suzannah

Do you know what years for the East Kent Times are held at Ramsgate library?

Hi All

Is the Thanet Gazette the best local newspaper for researching Ramsgate in the early 20th century?

I see that Margate library only has hard copies going back to 1924. Does anyone know if there are earlier copies archived elsewhere in Kent?

I am looking for information on Arthur W Watson who was the Headmaster of St Lawrence's Boys School in Thanet, Ramsgate from about 1909 until about 1925 and in particular I am trying to discover when he left Ramsgate.  He lived at 32 Dundonald Road, Ramsgate.

Thanks in advance

Hi Lady Di

Thanks for responding to my post.  Very useful information. Please could you also look to see if there are burial details at Layston church for Diana's son William Benjamin Thorpe who died about May 1900?

Thanks in advance

Hi Dave

I saw this old posting and wondered if you are still preparedto hunt through the churchyard at Layston.

If so perhaps you could see if you can find any graves for the surname Thorpe in the pre 1900 section.  In particular I am looking for Diana Thorpe who died in 1875.

Thanks in advance
