The Village From Clent Hills c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

The 1860s saw the passing of my 3x great-grandparents Thomas and Sarah Waldron and the marriage of their grand-daughter Ellen to William Huxley, my great-grandparents. These Huxleys lived at Yew Tree Cottage and Bank Cottage before leaving for Brighton around 1900...the end of an occupation by Huxley's since at least the 1760s.

Clent Family Origins

How amazing to read of another Huxley who married into the Waldron family in Clent. My great grandfather, William Huxley, married Ellen Waldron in 1867 and I believe her grandfather was Thomas Waldron, but have so far been unable to trace the "in between" generation. I have pictures of Clent showing houses where the family lived in later years but they moved from the area in the 1900's, presumably for work. I have found the Huxley side of the family to be very prolific and somewhat difficult to trace as the same Christian name appears in many branches of the family. Would love to hear from any possible relations.

Clent, my Ancestral Home!

My Huxley ancestors came to Clent from Ribbesford in 17C and married into the Waldron family who it seems had been there almost forever! Always interested to hear from any distant relatives.
