Kent / BALK in Hythe
« on: Wednesday 11 January 06 22:40 GMT (UK) »
Is anyone able to help me with the surname BALK in Hythe, Kent? I am looking specifically for a Robert BALK born about 1817 in Hythe. I am trying to identify his parents, who MAY have been Christopher and Jane. He may also have had sisters Mary Ann, Catherine, Dorothy and Margaret. In 1851 he was a grocer in Stranton, Durham. Prior to that he was the Captain of a couple of ships based around the Sunderland, Durham area. He married his wife, Mary Hannah DOBSON, in Stockton, Durham on 30 November 1846. Was he still in Kent in 1841?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
