Ville Garrison Sheerness Kent
« on: Sunday 15 October 23 18:56 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I believe that my 2 x Great Grandmother Louisa King was born at the Ville Garrison Sheerness in 1811. George King, her father, worked there as a painter.  I have found records for her brothers George (1813) and William (1815) in the Baptism records at Find My Past which holds the Baptism Records for the garrison for 1813 onwards, but I have not been able to find any records for baptisms prior to 1813?

Does anyone have any information about these records and where I might be able to find them? It's so frustrating being so near, but yet so far.

Regards
Sherry Davis

    Looks like she married John West (a Widower) 10th June 1837 at Holy Trinity Queenborough. Brother or Eather, George was a witness along with William West and Henrietta Friers.
   1841 shows them at Chatham with his 3 children by his widow and Alfred he had with Louisa in 1939. He was a Shipwright so was probably moved from Sheerness Dockyard to Chatham Dockyard.
   1851 shows 3 more children by Louisa George1843, William1845, and Henry1849.
   1861 3 more children Louisa1851 Thomas 1855 Amelia 1859.
