New start to my tree..

I have not posted here for a while. I have been over on my other blogg trying to get a Backgammon club up and running.  Anyway, I was looking at my family tree the other day and was thinking that I really must tidy it up and do some more research.
So with that in mind I have reactivated this Blogg in the home that someone out there may be researching the same as me.
I have already found two distant cousins via the internet so its not out of the question.

Names being researched at present are:
PRICE
WESTON
GURR
All around the Tenterden area of  Kent UK.

I am particularly interested in ANY information relating to JAMES or RICHARD WESTON  who were PRINTERS in Tenterden and Biddenden, Kent around 1800--1830.

Also ANY information related to GURR in SNARGATE, Kent.

So a short Blogg post to start. I will keep it updated as I uncover the skeletons. Please feel free to comment below on any aspect of this Blogg.   The search continues..

Wikitree.

 After doing a family history related search on Google recently I came across a reference to one of my ancestors on a site called Wikitree .

From the initial find I E-mailed the owner of the tree on that site asking if we were related. And it turns out, yes we are related. We are distant cousins with  common Great Great Grand parents.
This is only the second person that I have found researching the same related family. The other relative that I am in contact with I have been sharing information with for the last ten years.
I am hoping that they may have information that they can share to further my search and in return I hope I can help to grow their tree.

On the grave photo front I have not been able to get to our local church to photograph any graves as the weather has been against me.
Its always in the back of my mind that this is what I need to do so I am hoping to get there as soon as the weather breaks.

Snargate research


Research has been on going. At the moment I am researching my mums side of the family.(GURR)
I have tracked them down living in Snargate Kent, this has taken me back to my GGG Grandparents together with all the siblings that go along with this research.

I have had a lot of pointers from the transcriptions from woodchurch ancestry and the M I's transcribed by the Kent Archeological society of St Dunstans Churchyard.
Also lots of downloads from Find my past.

Much work to be done as after all my research over the years this is the first time I have looked at Gurr in any depth.
