History of Dover

It was wonderful to get firm confirmation of the marriage of my my maternal great grandmother and grandfather.
Thanks a million.

did find an emanuel lamb was put into st marys workhouse dover in 1770 the reason he was admitted to the workhouse was the election being over and he was without friends and unable to provide on jan 1770 he was let out on account of an conteseted election definately one of my husbands ancestors have not worked out where he fits in .
my husband gerard is a direct descendant of john lamb mayor in 1726 brandy merchant also charles lamb of snargate street dover kent
but osborne lamb charles lambs son
left dover with wife and children for a llife in london in the late 1850s.

Just found the site but intersted to read of Lamb names in Dover.
It has taken me time to come to terms that My line of Lambs originated in Dover, or did they.
I have a George Lamb (born 1766)who Married Mary Mackeral in Halling Kent in 1795,he is believed to be the son of John Lamb and Susanna Rutter.
I would be grateful for any information

The Fu???? Chapman you have in the St James marriages section is actually Fuller Chapman (12 Jun 1811 Folkestone - 3 Mar 1892 Lyminge) who married Frances Ann Tams.

Excellent site.

Nice find. I found the marriage of Richard Puckle Cliff. Now I want to find how his Puckle name came into the Cliff family.

I am trying to put together a document out lining the origin of the name Morffew, morphew and morfew. There were several families in Dover which helps no end.
I am at present trying to find the earliest time the name Morffew or Morphew appeared in the UK.
The archives only go back to the 1800s

Thank you for your fantastic website
I have found out when and where my great great grandmother Lydia Swain was buried in St Andrews and her children baptisms and also her marriage to my great great grandfather. Looking at the other pictures of Dover and records is also very interesting from someone who does not know the area.

I suspect that the Vincent Gaybeard you have in the Parish Baptism Transcriptions is in fact Vincent Gayleard and his wife Charlotte Sarah Kay registering their daughter Charlotte

Many Thanks on an excellent site.
