Kent Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 Census Tonbridge JOY family
« on: Tuesday 25 November 14 13:02 GMT (UK)  »
Hi again.
It's nice to know that there are still some of the family out there.
I have a photo of 2 of the girls but can't remember for certain which they are (I think Hilda and Vera).
If you wish I can let you have my direct email address, unless you can get it from my profile pages. Brilliant to hear from you though and I'll let my brother know about this site so he can join in too. He's going to start some local searching after Christmas so he might come up with something useful. Also my daughter (I have 2 girls and a boy) works in the Tunbridge Wells Register Office and I'm trying to get her to look up some info too. Anything I find I'll pass it on, just in case you don't have it. Thanks for the extra info. It would be nice to keep in touch (unlike my mother did). Take care and stay well. Best Wishes, Kerijo999.

Hi Bulsara. As can be seen from my post to Barbara, I am new here.
If you have read that post please do so as you might find some new info there.
I would love to know which of my grandmother's brothers is your grandfather - my mother was not the sort to keep in touch with family. Her attitude was "they don't contact me why should I contact them and I told her literally hundreds of times that they are probably feeling the same, especially as many had been in touch but she didn't bother to reply! So, we have very little information about her father's family and not a great deal more about her mother's family. She did tell me that Charles had a son called Douglas who had a daughter called Cheryl and my brother seems to remember that Tom had 3 daughters. One of the boys married (unknown wife) and had at least 2 daughters; Vera and Hilda. Hilda married a William Jones and they had 2 sons, William and Michael. William married twice but only had children from the first marriage. I do not know anything about Michael yet but my brother (also Michael) is in contact with him. It would be great to get in direct contact to share any other info. I could also put you and Barbara in contact with my brother. All for now. I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Barbara. I've only just found this site and registered today!
Re the Joy family from Paddock Wood.
Harold was Harold Gladstone Joy who married Alice Clara Joy.
It is correct that they had 3 children, Dolly (WAS Dorothy and died aged 12 from Diabetes), Megan (Married a James Dungate) and Betty Lucy Jane (married William Johnson from East Peckham).
Betty & William (Bill) had 2 Sons, Michael ("Mike" born 1942) and Keith (born 1950).
I am that Keith and together with my brother we are trying to piece together as much as possible of our family tree - don't have much yet and I can't get to the local sites of information (i.e. Parish Churches, etc.) because I now live in Yorkshire, Mike married a Barbara and now lives in East Sussex. For some reason mum didn't know many details about her dad's family but did manage to remember the names of her 10 uncles & aunts on her mother's side (I'm not certain that all are correct though). I can give you a list if that would be of any use in cross referencing. [I have in my possession a Bible given to Betty in memory of her sister Dorothy]. It would be very nice to hear from you and find out where you fit into the family. I can confirm that my grandparents did live near the station, actually in Station Road in one of a pair of houses (that still stand and are lived in) called Forge Cottages - that was where I was born. There was another Joy family in Commercial Road, Paddock Wood, but they are not related - All I know about them is that the father was called Billy and was a "Snob" (shoe repairer) and about the same age as my parents.
