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

Please reply to ECCLES85@BTINTERNET.COM

Ryarsh, Kent (3.9 miles away)

I found some Ryarsh Parish records online and found a James Welles christened on 13 Mar 1792 to a Nicholas WELLES. This happens to be the EXACT date of my 'brick wall' James Welles was to have been born (according to his headstone in Norwalk, Huron Co., Ohio, USA). The first actual proof of James I can find is his marriage to Persis EARLE in Windsor Co., Vermont, USA in Dec 1810.

After finding this record in Ryarsh, I have scoured all emigration records to Canada and America I can find for the timeframe 1792-1810 ... no James or Nicholas with right age is found.

I was hoping someone might be able to help me with the WELLES/WELLS family who lived in Ryarsh in the mid- to late-1700s. Nicholas' father 'appears' it might be James WELLES according to the same Ryarsh Parish records.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for any information you have.

• Julia Pope (nee Greenfield) is my grandfather's sister. In my family Greenfield tree I've got details of Julia's 4 brothers and 2 sisters, her parents, grandparents and great grandparents going back to Pembury around 1750. Julia married Mercer in 1883 and I've have also found details of Mercer's father and grandfather going back to 1781 in Cranbrook. My email is shaun@shaungreenfield.co.uk

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.
