Family History of Webb

7th September 2011

Eileen Corbitt:

Yes he was born in Canterbury in 1896. There were quite a few Webbs in the Kent area - they moved down from Suffolk.

... reply to this message

OK thank you. Just out of interest, was your Frederick Harold Webb born in Canterbury? It's just we're struggling with our Fredderick Webb, and we thought he was born in canterbury, but we may be wrong.

Cheers.

Bus Depot

31st August 2011

Christine Hickmott-Arnold:

Hello Jeff
I have just found your message regarding the bus depot in Tenterden. I am sure you will remember me as I was married to Alan Hickmott who worked there. The only people I know who are still around are John Hackney in Wittersham
Andy Burchett in Brede and George Trow in Tenterden. Alan lives in Ayelsford and I rarely see him. I think Basil Dalton (inspector) is still about. Hope you are well

Allen Burch of New Town Stores

26th August 2011

Christine Hickmott-Arnold:

If you walked past the shop away from the townafter the row of cottages there was and still is a turning to the left leading to Mr Puxted the bicycle shop (now long gone) behind this and effectively almost behind Burch's shop there were a group of prefabs built just after the war. I also remember a Mr Standen who worked in the shop .
This is all very easy for me as I have lived here all my life as did my father and town history is something I am keen on. I work with the archives in the Town Hall and there is an early picture of the shop if you would like me to send it please email me at nanchrisuk @ aol.com

Allen Burch of New Town Stores

26th August 2011

Martin Burch:

Christine, thanks very much for your message. My grandmother would have remembered the people you mention. Possibly my father would too but he is very ill now. Could you tell me where Danemore is / was? I visited my grandparents at Tenterden when I was a boy but that was a while ago now! I wonder if anyone ever talked about my great-grandfather (a very different character!)
