Hi all,

I am trying to find the grave of GEORGE BROWNING abt 1848 - OCT/NOV/DEC 1891. His last known residence was 37 Maida Road, Luton, Chatham in the 1891 census. The parish on this census was St Mary's but this has been crossed out.

Any information or images would be greatly appreciated :-)

Many thanks

• this is a very long shot but i have been trying to track down a connection with a Dora Hill. This is not for family tree reasons but i came across a book that was presented to this lady. Would the Dora Hill you are talking of have gone to the College of Commerce in Gillingham in 1935 ?

looking for my cousins~ Mills~ father Morris and Roy. My mum is their sister Shirley Williamson. We emigrated to Australia in 1965~ Morris was married to Betty and there were three boys. Think that there were four children of Roys. My mum's family lived in Wigmore~ Gillingham area. My grandparents were Grace and Hector (aka Tom). My grandmother worked at the club accross the road as a bar maid and my grandfather worked at Chatham docks.

I am researching my husbands family history and Rebecca Allard is listed in the 1901 Census as residing at 55 Poot Lane with George Clark and Elizabeth M Clark (aged 18mths) Elizabeth is listed as daughter of George~ Rebecca Allard is listed as housekeeper but is also listed as also known as Clark. Was Rebecca the housekeeper or was she George's wife? **Rebecca had a hard life~ her husband Charles Allard deserted her in 1883 and left her with 2 children~ Rebecca and Charles. The daughter Rebecca married a William Walker and Charles the son was listed in the 1891 census as living with his mother and her parents in Kent.**Charles Allard snr went to Australia where he "married" an Australian girl. He listed Rebecca as dying in 1886~ but she was very much alive long after his marriage as the census records for England show.**I am very interested in what happened to Rebecca~ did she eventually find happiness~ was Elizabeth Clark her child~ was she happy?**I certainly hope so.**Rebecca was born Rebecca Elizabeth Ann Connelly in 1864 in Kent England. **Any information would be appreciated to fill in the gaps in the family history records.**Joan Brewer**Brisbane**Australia****

I am looking for descendants of the Spain~ Belsey~ Drew~ Powell and Agutter families. They have connections with the Howling family from North Norfolk believed to be through a railway connection. John Howling was a train driver~ thought to be L.N.E.R and it was his son Robert who married Susanna Belsey in 1892 in Dover. They had 4 children one of whom was Beatrice. I am hoping that somebody reading this site is related in some way.****There are naval connections in the Belsey family one of whom crewed a Lightship out in the Thames Estuary.
