Kent / Re: newbie saying hi and looking for info on kent ancestors

thanks for all your replies, it's great to feel welcome!

re the Cheesemans, they came from the Boxley and Burham areas, I don't know whether these villages might have been in the Sittingbourne registration district at some point?

the Goldfinch connection has proved to be a false trail, my great grandfather used the name as an alias when he deserted from the army, I managed to find his army records and the family name is actually Brown, so I doubt we have a connection there.

Kent / newbie saying hi and looking for info on kent ancestors
« on: Friday 11 September 09 11:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I'm Jon, born in Rainham Kent (though nowhere near there now), and researching my family history.
Particularly researching the surnames Attwood (hollingbourne/stockbury areas), Sym (anywhere), Hales (kent), Collins (London/Medway areas), Brown/Goldfinch/reis (hong kong/china/portugal), Dyer (london/gloucestershire) and Cheeseman (kent).
 would love to share info with anyone else who might be researching these names.

Jon
