Stumbled on your great website! So much great info on my father's family! I never knew much of the history and where his father was from. Thank you so much!

I come from the Brooks family in Prince Edward Island, Canada - but none of the names I have match on your list. I have Ramsey, Hibbett, Lord to name a few of the names. Maybe it is me, but I couldn't find any of those names here. I always heard from my Grandfather Herbert William Brooks from Summerside who was born in PEI in 1880 ---that their were 3 brothers - one named John that came to PEI - and I descended from one of them. Are we related?

Hello Anne,

It was lovely to find your website. My ancestors were the Inkpens, Farleys and Lows.

My great grandmother was Elizabeth Ann Inkpen daughter of Joseph Henry Inkpen and Elizabeth Farley. She married Henry Low and had my grandmother Margaret Rebecca Lowe.

I have traced family back to Ticehurst and Maidstone. It was lovely to see the photo of Fountain House in Goudhurst, Kent.

If anyone has any photos of Inkpens or Farleys, it would be fantastic to see them. I have a photo of Elizabeth Inkpen taken late 1890's to early 1900's.

Regards,
Kim

Hi Anne,
I am researching Henry Arthur Wakeham Caunter who was baptised on 14 January 1839 at Widecombe-in-the-Moor. Do you know what became of him? I have researched him through to the 1874 electoral roll, where he is at Linchaford in Widecombe, but I can't find any reference to him after this date.

I have just found your site & can't wait to read more. My connection is Tonkin: Elizabeth Tonkin being my GG Grandmother (making Nicholas Uren & Joan Harvey my 6xGs). Thankyou so much for your amazing volume of work!

My wife and I are the current owners of the home once owned by George and Marguerite Norsworthy, who occupied the property from 1950-1986. Your web site has helped us trace the history of ownership for our dear old house, and has given us a sense of connection with the previous owners. Thank you.

Hello Anne, I'm gonna write about Flt. Lt. Hugh H. Norsworthy in my new book on WW2. He attacked and sunk a ferry near my birthplace on September 3, 1943. I hope you allow me to use the photo of Hugh, mentioning you be the source?
