well i got an email saying it had now been amended and i saw the amended date, from the council rep dealing with it,they actually thanked me for pointing it out. its not unusual for the kids to be put in the workhouse temporarily either,and tbh i already knew they had been in there, people who were homeless and hungry often did that,adults used to refuse because of the awful conditions they endured there,my grandmother used to still have nightmares about it when she was an old lady. dunkirk is now part of boughton under blean parish and the church is closed and so is the school and was amalgamated with boughton. loads of homeless people lived in the woods around dunkirk,squatters and most of the local population descended from them , just put dunkirk in the normal search box on there, ive looked,because it also has a description of the last armed uprisng on english soil 1838 in which my cousin george branchett was killed and other cousins were killed or transported to australia. .as far as i know its still on faversham .org with date change. cornwell is a version of cornwall as far as i know and is a known romany name and quite a few on your list are tbh,. as for cromwell ,well people are mistaken saying he was a puritan because he didnt like them too much or quakers either.he was actually a congregationalist and i can absolutely assure you his name doesnt have any connection with cornwell , in fact cromwell is descended from williams a welshman from local welsh gentry who married thomas cromwells daughter and changed his name because it gave him an advantage , as you may or may not know thomas cromwell was henry the 8ths right hand man who enriched himself while lord chancellor and held manors and lands everywhere.but that family existed in medieval times and held lands in kent where i live and all over england,basically he was a thief ,and some of my mothers ancient family, elys of kennington descended from elys de otham were married into them (daughter) and in turn his daughter married hales whose line of viscounts ended at hales place hackington canterbury when his daughter and heir became a nun.im descended from the elys family of kent too,we used to own town place and the manor at throwley faversham kent. we sold it in 1631.and this cromwell owned nearby tunstall and hales came from same area. although obviously cromwell did work with the puritans he didnt like some of them. well just looked again,its on the faversham.org with amended date.just put dunkirk into main search box,when it comes up go down to ''places'' if jack was at dunkirk school he had to be of a certain age to be there so if he was born about 1900 then it had to be between 1900 and 1910/11? when was she with eli?when was he in the army? search service records. search workhouse records for that area. look on 1911 census. search parish relief records for the areas. failing all else write or email faversham .org and ask where they got the records from. can you actually prove your relationship or is it hearsay?in the meantime i will look in local census etc there was a poor house for boughton but part of the local union at faversham went up to near sittingbourne and one nearby at selling. but dunkirk isnt far from canterbury either, or blean village. dunkirk was a ''ville'' its definitely on there, like i said, there was probably one at blean or canterbury,or perhaps the mother was employed nearby on the farms because literally hundreds used to come down for the fruit picking then on to the hopping from london and many were travellers right up to about 1960,
