Other information

The town of Canterbury and the nearby villages of the Elham Valley figure strongly in the family history through the 19th century. A brief history of the area as it relates to the family is therefore included, to bring the personal details into context. There is a similar history for Womenswold and for Lydd.

The medical terms used in the 19th century are often quite different from those used today. To help interpret death certificates, a glossary of medical terms is included.

Extracts from a number of census returns have been collected. These are in mainly tabular format transcribed from the original documents, and in most cases links are provided from the relevant individual's page. Hyperlinks in the following table lead to the extracts currently available:

Fagg 1801 1811 1821 1831 1841 1851 1861 1871 1881 1891 1901
Browning & Bush 1801 1811 1821 1831 1841 1851 1861 1871 1881 1891 1901

Do not place too much significance on the spelling of names and places in these records. Many people did not read or write during this period, so spelling of names was very much at the whim of the census enumerator. Similarly, place names had not been standardised as they are now, and varied in spelling.

In some cases, images of pages from the contemporary hand-written census documents are also available, and these can be accessed from the appropriate point in the transcribed tables.

Most of the early family photographs appearing in these pages have been passed down through the generations until they reached the author. Any photographs not yet identified to an individual have been included in a "photos awaiting identification" page.
