Gravesend, Harry W Dennis and Kathleen May Dennis

[win40]

I am looking for information on my mothers parents, they lived in Peppercroft Street, Gravesend, Kent.  I believe they had other children**. I also understand they were disowned by their family. her mothers maiden name was Botten.  Can anyone point me in the direction for newspaper archives from around 1953 - 1955.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Win40

Welcome to Rootschat

Gravesend Library have the old newspapers for their area.  If you have a specific date then they may well look something up for you (I think they do up to 20 minutes for free) but otherwise you will need to visit and look through them http://kent.gov.uk/LibrariespublicUI/OpeningTimes/LibraryDetails.aspx?id=41

If your family had been in the Gravesend area for a while then you may well find the online parish registers useful http://cityark.medway.gov.uk/

When was your Mum born and where?

There is a Botton born Gravesend 1940.   Mothers maiden name Harris, married Frederick in 1938.  He was born 6 March 1917 died 1983.
Ida Mary born 1904. Possible relatives ??
There are so many Bottens about, all over Kent.
Your Mums birth date and place of birth would hopefully help narrow things down to trace other family members.

Best wishes.....Iris
