Thomas Kent & Family Chatham 1881

[casalguidi]

Hi Allan

If you believe the family to be C of E then you may find some baptisms/marriages etc. in the online parish registers for that area of Kent

The 1891 census should probably read "Brompton" as the birthplaces for some of the children

Yes you are spot on I have the Marriage cert, I am hoping to contact up to-date family members of the children of Thomas Kent and Mary Ann Robson.

Many thanks
Allan

So you'd know then whether I had the right family in 1851 by the marriage cert - or perhaps you didn't need all this census information .....

[Allan Robson]

Thanks for your reply I only had the 1881 Census info what you have given me is a big help, on the 1861 there is a Thomas D Kent age 4 this child must have died as there is a thomas Kent on the 1871 census age 3 This I must sort out.

This is often the case, especially when a child is named after the father so they want the name to be continued in the family, but then the child dies, the next son is often named the same.

I would try to check the 1841 for the Kents and the 1851 and 1841 for Mary Ann Robson for you if you can confirm the father's names and occupations from the marriage certificate you say you have.  Do I have the right Kents in 1851?

I think this would be her in 1851

Interesting sounding family she was working for

Thanks for 1851, if you could find Mary Ann's Family in 1841 it would help as I ned to find other family members. Maty Anns Father was according to her Marriage cert John Robson a Joiner.
