Kent memories
My Local Parish Church
Living at Ashburton, St Luke's was my local parish church where I got married in 1968, a lovely church. Although 40 plus years have passed, I still have good memories of living in the area.
Stalisfield Church
Hi I grew up living at Stalisfield, and left when I was 18. My mother died and my father is still there and recently I have become more interested in the history of Stalisfield. Why is the church so far from the village? What used to be by the church? Was there a windmill there as well? Any information about the history would be very interesting. Thank you.
Parsonage Farm, Bredgar
I lived next door to John Veitch in Pond Farm Road, Borden. Sadly John passed away many years ago... John and his brother Sid owned Parsonage Farm. I spend as many hours as I could on the farm and can still smell the smell of the cows and in the summer the harvesting of the wheat. The tractor driver was John Luckhurst, he allowed me to ride on his tractor all the time. Health and Safety would have a fit these days... I was told that John Luckhurst also passed away. I could not ride a bike so went everywhere on a triange scooter. We had a dog called Sooty who would, whenever he got a chance, run off to find a bitch in heat and I spent many hours scooting from Borden to Bredgar to find him and drag him back home.. This small enclave encompassing Borden - Oat Street - Bredgar was England at its best and for my part it is... Read more
My Ancestral Home
I'm American and live in Northern California. This is my first trip to England and I'm hoping to visit Bicknor. My great-great-grandfather was the Vicar of Bicknor. His last name was Seager; I never knew his first name. I have a watercolor of the vicarage where he and his family lived. The Vicar and his wife had 4 sons - Robert, Charles, Edward and Edmund Seager. All were graduates of Oxford University. The two youngest were twins and emigrated to Ontario, Canada. One of Edward's children was Mary Seager, my great-grandmother. I have about 30 letters, dated in the 1870's, written by Edward to his daughter after she was married. She married Charles Muldoon and emigrated to Buffalo, New York, where Charles operated a tobacco store. They had 9 children amd my gradmother, Cecelia Muldoon Huebner, was the youngest. I've heard about our roots in Bicknor all my life and I hope to see it soon.
May Family From 1770
I'm not adding a memory but I do have an interest in Throwley. I have been doing some family research on my mother's side and I have found my 2 x great-grandfather JOHN MAY was born in Throwley in the year 1842, and it looks like the Mays go back to my 5 x greatgrandfather THOMAS. What I would like to know and I know this will be a long shot but is any of the family still living in Throwley, or can anyone help me with any form of info, I would love to hear from you. Kind regards ROBERT JOHNSON. email me: guff6877@yahoo.com.
Children's Home
I was in a children's home for a very short time in the summer of 1946. Does anyone have any infomation? I believe it was called The Lantern.
Sittingbourne to Australia
My name is Margaret. I was born in Park Road, Sittingbourne on 18.4.45. My parents were Flossie and Cyril Neaves. My dad worked as a machine man in the Sittingbourne paper mills and my mum worked fruit picking in the early days but worked for Shell Research Station later on.
I attended the Holy Trinity Primary School then moved onto Westlands Secondary. After leaving school I worked at Chatham telephone exchange for about 4 years, my hobbies were ballet and skating. I later went on to become a ballet teacher and had my own ballet schools. I was taught in Sittingbourne by Iris Thomas.
I married Neville Cox, formerly of Connaught Roadd, Sittingbourne, in 1963 at St Mary's Church in Park Road. Neville's father was a chiropodist in Connaught Road. Neville and I lived in Keycol Hill for 6 years, we have a son Mark born in 1965, also a daughter Deborah born 1966. Both children attended Borden Primary School for a short while. They both remember trudging through... Read more
