Kent / Re: Teynham, birthplace of my father, Albert James Baker, 1904

izzijac: I had inquired about my father's birthplace quite a while ago and had, up till now, thought that my effort to find any information had been unsuccessful. Thank you for contacting me. I am absolutely astonished about what you have said in your post and I want to find out more details from you about the relative you referred to and the house that you say is the same one. (I didn't see it when I viewed World's End on a Google map (at ground level), but of course I realize that it may have drastically changed in appearance since 1938 from remodeling, renovations and modifications.)
My father's name was Albert James Baker, born June 30, 1904, in Teynham (possibly in that house). He had a brother, William George, born January 1903. Their parents/my grandparents were Albert William Baker, born 1873, Milstead, and Frances Elizabeth (Pilcher) Baker, born 1875, Sittingbourne/Faversham area. They were married in March 1902 in Bromley and I know they were in Teynham in June 1904 when my father was born. My grandfather worked on a farm (maybe not far from that house). I am assuming that my grandparents were tenants living in a house (maybe that one) owned by a landlord.
I am hoping that you may respond to this post. I am lucky to have received your post. You have given me encouraging information. If you like, we can send private messages. Whatever you would like to do. I am not a regular, active member here.
Sincerely, Kenneth Baker, Maryland, USA
