Hello everyone, I have recently found out that my 3rd greatgrandfather died on 2nd January 1850 in a Union Workhouse in Ore. His wife Harriett was present at his death. I am trying to find the admissions to this workhouse and where he may have been buried. This is a distance from where the family originate in Tonbridge. George Clifton was a bricklayer and so I am assuming he may have been working on the tunnells or railway there. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanking you

Hi
I have been researching my ancestors the Fielders from Tunbridge Wells. My Nana corresponded with an Elsie Fielder from Kent, but unfortunately I cannot find where Elsie fits in the family.
My line is from George Fielder who came to Australia and Elsie's father was Ernest. I have exhausted all records but cannot find the connection. Elsie was born in 1897 in Sevenoaks and I believe passed away July 1990. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers

I am trying to help my Aunty solve a mystery in her family tree. Her grandfather was Charles Beak born in Great Somerford in 1864. We believe he married Evelyn Constance MacGregor and they had a son. We think they married in London.  When Charles sailed to Australia he had a mishap and was presumed dead. His wife took her life and her sons by jumping off a bridge. This occurred approx between 1881 and 1885. I cannot find a marriage or a death for her or her son. Could someone please help. When Charles got word back to England that he was  alive he was told of the tragic event that had occured so he stayed in Australia and built a new life. We don't know what ship or year he landed in South Australia to narrow the year of his marriage and subsequent events.

Thanking you

Hi All
I  am trying to find out more information on my gggrandparents, Jethro Smith and Hester Bond, They married in 1828 in Standlake. In 1851 he was a farmer of 12 acres. Jethro died in 1854 and I believe Hester remained on the land. I have no leads whatsoever on Jethro's family, of course with a name like Smith how hard could it be. (Tongue in cheek)

Hi All

Have just been reading on your board about Homestead cemeteries. Is it possible to search a site with a name and possible year of death instead of name of places.

Cheers
