Cemetery déja-vu

Having recently failed to find CASTLE ancestors at St. Dunstan’s graveyard, Canterbury, it would appear that, like Womenswold, I need to extend my research to a second cemetery.

David Wood, Chairman of the Canterbury Branch of Kent Family History Society (KFHS), informs me that I may find them buried at Canterbury Cemetery, Whitstable Road (just up from St. Dunstan’s). This cemetery opened for business from 1877 and, despite being registered in the parish of St. Dunstan’s, they may be buried there.

This would fit, since the earliest burial of this CASTLE family I have so far is 1883 – time to get hunting again!

Tree updated …

The family tree has been updated again (but note the caveats!) and can be accessed here. It also benefits from corrected HTML links to web sources, fixed thanks to a patch for Family Historian.

The number of individuals has now reached 1,174 and 291 families!

Fourth BALDOCK line develops!

After my trip to the cemetery at Blean on Sunday, I began researching the BALDOCK discovered there. This has now opened up a fourth line of research.

I am now researching BALDOCK lines from Womenswold (my direct line), Chartham, my mother’s uncle Bill, who’s origins I hope to trace once I have received his marriage certificate, and the fourth is Ospringe (the Blean connection).

Too much to do, and so little time!
