Justin, you mention the Deal maritime museum which, when I was there last summer had closed.
Is that still the case , do you have news of this museum?

As far as I am aware, the dispute that caused the closure is still on-going, so the museum may not re-open for some time.

Thank you Bill for that reply.

I hope to be back in Deal for May and was hoping I would have a chance to join and look at the records there.

Hi Lis

I have just been informed that the Museum usually opens for the summer sometime in May, but the dispute is on-going and a court case is pending, so it may not re-open until later this year!

As for the records that are held at the museum, they do not let you search them!  You have to make an appointment to have the archivist look at them for you ... and pay for her time!

Best wishes, Bill

Rope Walk in Walmer is now known as Gladstone Road. The Good Woman stood on the corner of Rope Walk and North Barrack Road and became The Dolphin in 1866.

Thank you Bill, quite a pain really the whole thing is.
 Lets hope it will be resolved soon and they become more researcher friendly.
best wishes

Thank you for your response on The Good Woman  AJ. I can just make out where I think my great grandmother was born from my 1877 map. It's such a shame that finding anything on The Good Woman, or even The Dolphin for that matter, is so difficult Records don't seem to start until around 1860.

I recently came across a picture of the old Dolphin 'Pub taken around 1950 which I have attached. Apparently the 'pub was demolished very soon after the photo was taken. The building that can be seen to the left of the 'pub was the house in which my great grandmother, Elizabeth Ann Claringbold, was born.

To add to my previous message I have attached a photo showing the exact location of the Good Woman/Dolphin 'pub.

 Read that you made an offer of look ups.

 So..... have got stuck on Louisa Finch born Walmer possibly born between 1804 and 1807.

 Thanks.
