Hi Trish1120

Thank you for your reply.
You asked:
Are you descended from Wm c 1828, Islington, with Wife Rebecca?
Not as far as I know. I have been told that my mother's line of my family is descended from Wm. K. b. Charlton on Ottmoor 1797.
I have some information on numerous other Kirtland's which may be fairly closely related. This has stemmed from a keen interest in Thomas James K. b. Summertown 1846 who was apparently a colourful person and who my research was primarily geared toward. I am trying to consolidate what I have and would be interested to communicate with others with an interest in this family. As the Kirtland's in southern England seem to be fairly tightly grouped, I thought that it wouldn't be too difficult to extend my knowledge of the family tree.
PS You said
Re your query does William Kirtland c 1828, Islington, name his Father as William, Occp Blacksmith on his Marriage Cert?
Unfortunately I don't know.
