Hello Angela ,
Thank you for all that infomation . Yes, some of them do belong to me. William Burfoot
, Ann and Elizabeth are siblings of my Mary born 1809 and Thomas Kember and Fanny
Burfoot were my Gr. Gr.Gr.Grandparents. Ann died young at 28 yrs of age and Elizabeth
died at 8 mnths . William married Martha ? but I have no record of any offspring.
Of the first four in the list I haven't heard of them but I will check the location
of
Faccombe and Tadley to see how close it is to Rotherwick where my lot are from and
then file it for investigation at a later date.
Yes I would very much appreciate a copy of the family tree of the Robert Kembers
you refer to in Family Tree Maker .In the scheme of things 1500s is not such a big
step from 1600 and there could be possibilties.
What is the best way to present our line of investigation at the end of each message
so that others can keep tabs on what each of us is interested in? Should we list with
spouse names so families can be identified or is it better to stay with dates and
locations . Apart from spelling variations, if we could all go back far enough we
would probably all researching the same family or at least the same occupation which
is a comber of wool or flaxen or other fibre . I have seen the origin of the name
suggested as Cember which I think is Old English for a comber .
Regards to all on the list ,
John Kember

PS Cyclone Vance hasn't troubled us yet as it is 800 miles away but we are
expecting rain from an early winter pattern cold front .
Hello John;
I have seen mention of this Kember line before, and family tree maker has
some Robert kember's however the dates are further back around the 1500's.
I could send you a copy of the tree if you are interested
Found these in the British Vital records; hope it is of some help
