This is as far as my current family history research has gone, it may be that I have not yet had the opportunity search the relevant records - or  because I'm stuck.  Generally they show my eldest known ancestors.   This page also includes persons not linked from elsewhere.  If you can link in or can add to any of these please Mail Me .
Ellen BRACKPOOL
born: c.1847 Worthing SSX
married: 21 May 1866 KEN
died: ?
(rev 1 Sep 2003)
Parents unknown - married to James PERFITT born c.1847.

I originally had the name as BRACHFORD which was given by the IGI. However there were no other instances of BRACHFORD - and no birth record for Ellen - so I suspected that it was a transcription spelling error. I had subsequently looked for her under BRADFORD, BRACKFORD and BROCKFORD but without success.

I have now found the marriage of Ellen BRACKPOOL to James PERFITT at the freeBMD website - and as her age was the same - and given the rarity of the name I am confident enough to include it within these pages. However - I will be checking birth records for place of birth for correlation.

The distribution of the BRACKPOOL in the 1881 census suggests it is a Sussex name.

Milburn Austin COWING
born: 1853 Lewisham KEN
married: 1874 KEN
died: 1905 LDN
(rev 17 Aug 2005)
Robert Thos. COWING had a brother Milburn born 1810 (possibly ERY) so it is highly probable that Milburn Austin is a relation.

In addition to the above - Jane the eldest sister of Robert Thos. - named her eldest son Milburn 

Considering naming customs - it is highly probable there was a COWING/MILBURN marrage prior to 1800. 

Does anyone have any information.

Robert Thos. COWING
born: 1818 Bridlington ERY
married: 1839 Bridlington
died: 1899 Plumstead LND
Moved his family from Yorkshire to Plumstead Kent between 1851 and 1853.  At the time of the 1881 census all Kent  COWING's  were his descendants.  His brother John COWING was also buried in the family grave at Plumstead in 1861 - so presumably at some point John joined  Robert at Plumstead.
Sarah Salvidge DENT
 born: c.1816 ERY
 married: 1839 ERY
 buried: Plumstead 1883 KEN
 It is interesting that whilst details of her marriage can be found - while those of her birth cannot. 
However there is a Mary SALVIDGE  (see below) married to Thos. DENT who had a daughter Sara DENT born c.1815.

It could well be that this is the same person and she took the name of Salvidge on her marriage.  Of course the validity of this remains to be proven.


 
Family legend has it that Sarah is related to DENTS the glovers (glove makers).  My researches in this direction has shown that it was a John DENT who founded DENTS in 1777 in the City of Worcester - the city of his birth in c.1751. His parents were Lawrence DENT a merchant of Yarm in Yorkshire and Hannah PERKINS of Worcester.

No family links have yet been found.

Henry John MONTAGUE

(rev 21 Apr 2001)
Parents John MONTAGUE& Jannet CAMBELL  (new 24 Nov 2000)
- married to Ellen CLARK born 1885 KEN died 1973 LND

Worked as a labourer at the  Royal Arsenal - Woolwich.

Their eldest son - James Wm. MONTAGUE born 1905 LND
 

NOTE: (rev 1 Sep 2003)
I have now found name and date descrepancies leaving me doubting that I have the correct person - although the occupation of a Woolwich Arsenal labourer is correct. All documentation shows my Grandfather as being plain John MONTAGUE apart from my Grandmothers Death Certificate which shows her as the widow of Henry John MONTAGUE.

Also Their Marriage Certificate shows him as being 22 years when they married on 13th March 1905 - giving a birth year of 1885.

Additionally Henry John does not appear in the 1901 census.
