Hi, Josie,
My Great Grandmother Ada Ellen Card was born in Speldhurst, Kent in 1860. I
need to get out my map of England and look up where Surrey is. The part of
Kent my Cards are from is south of London.
Thanks a lot,
edie

Dear Edie
You mentioned that your CARDS came from Kent. That county is on the east
side of London . Surrey is a county on the west side of London but their
boundaries are very close. They were both considered part of the London
area. Have a look at your map and see what part of Kent they came from. As
I
said in my email my family came from Camberwell. They also lived for a
while
in Lambeth which I think was know as Middlesex. The river Thames is one of
the dividing factors in where places are.
The spouse of John CARD snr was Susanna LAMBERT and she married a William
BEECHING from Kent. There was a lot of coming and going in that area.
Good luck with your research. Sorry I was of no help.
Josie SNOOk nee CARDE
