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.

• Hello Linda, Thank you for replying.
  So sorry for not replying sooner.
  Can you remember what Mr Kemsleys first name was?
  There were a lot of 'Fannys' in the family. Have you
  got a name for the farm?
  Many thanks Wendy

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****

• Hi
  
  I have just come across your post. Obviously it's been 7 years since you posted this so I don't know if you will get my reply. My grandmother was Emily Milgate, who was born in Grafton Cottages in Sittingbourne in 1895. If you get this then please get in touch.

What a pity that after all the years that it has been running that Hempstead Cricket Club has had to fold.**My parents Alf and Peggy invested so much time and energy in their involvement with the Club.
