Kemp family
- Leverton
Hello from Brisbane, Australia.
I'm interested in confirming that a William Kemp and his wife formerly Ann Ambrose, who had 7 children baptised at the C of E church in Chilton Foliat lived in this region. I don't have any address for any of them. Their youngest was Henry Kemp born 1799, and he married a girl from Reading (no idea of her details) born circa 1803, called Isabella Martha Wright. They moved to London and prospered. They had 2 sons and 1 daughter. Their youngest George is my great grandfather. He married a Jane R Green in 1881. His son, my grandfather, George William, emigrated to Australia in 1912 well after the death of both his parents.
Kind regards,
Julie

nicholson
- Little London
Desperate for information on Nicholson relatives. My great grandfathers name was George Colville Nicholson, my grandfather had the same name, as did my father. My great grandfather immigrated to the U.S. in the mid to late 1800's. He paid his kings tax until he died. The reason he left England, was because he was the 2nd. son, and had to make his own way in the world. Apparently, his older brother passed away in England without any heirs. Any information would be met with cheers and tears, as I long to know the history of my family. Thank you.

Plumbe, A Doctoring Family In Maidenhead
- Maidenhead
"Monkendens" was situated at 151 High St Maidenhead, where I'm told its roof had a landmark copper dome or "cuppola". On that land stands a mere supermarket, I am told! Dr SA Plumbe served the area (partly in a joint practice with a Dr Montgomery) from about 1863 till his death in 1876. His son Dr ST Plumbe took over and must have made his mark till his own early demise in 1909. About 1910 the house-contents were sold,and we have the Auction catalogue. We think the site was cleared at that time. Any details known?
