Manmack & Mikey M

Hi, I've just noticed that you mention John Ashley Kilvert, and that you may have photo's of him?  John Ashley Kilvert is my first cousin four times removed and I'm trying to get as much information about him as possible.  You mention that his family can be traced back 900 years and I've heard this before but at present I am unable to find out where this information is kept - any ideas?

I've seen his sword in the Wednesbury Museum and they tell me his medals are there also although they couldn't find them! Lost in amongst all the other medals they have which is a crying shame.  I'd be very interested if you can email the photo's that you have of him as I only have a painting of him.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Matt Kilvert.
TELFORD, Shropshire.

Hi Annie,

Not received anything yet but it's not even been half hour yet since I send my email address.

However, I am extremely pleased that I'm hopefully going to get an actual photo of one my ancesters. I'm looking for any Kilvert information really.  My next lead is a Francis Hood Kilvert apparently she married in 1896 and was the daughter of a John Kilvert although I personally don't think it was John Ashley Kilvert, but that's what I'm looking into now and bizarrely enough found this posting - luckily!!!

Matt.

Well Mack is a good man - you'll get your stuff and I'm sure you'll be pleased - he's probably digging it out as we speak! - though he could be working too - .... why does that always have to interfere??

Do you know where the Kilverts were from? if you post what you know names dates etc. maybe somebody will be able to help you!!

Thanks Mack, the photo is brilliant and the attached information is a great read. Cant thank you enough.  Bad news about the fall but the remedy is good, pity that remedy doesn't work for me at the moment - I fell from a horse 3 months ago and fractured my hip!! :(
