| Message: | I posted a message on this forum several years ago concerning my grandfather, Walter Thomas, who lived at Fancy's Folly at the turn of the 19th/20th century. From there he emigrated to Canada and then disappeared. Following extensive investigation the family eventually discovered what had happened to him. Having resolved that mystery there is one other and we hope that somebody in the area may be able to throw some light on the matter. My grandmother, Annie Thomas, nee Cuthbert, was Walter's second wife. His first was Florence, nee Williams, and they had two daughters, Lilian and Ivy. Despite extensive investigation we can find no record of any kind relating to what happened to Florence who disappeared from the scene at the end of the nineteenth century. If anybody has any information about what became of to her we'd love to know. |

| Message: | World War Two - RAF Air Ammunition Park - Staple Halt Records indicate that the RAF had an AAP in the Staple area from 29 May 1940 through 11 July 1940 but it was closed (due to enemy activity?) and moved to Snodland. The unit provided ammo to 11 Fighter Group RAF and was referred to as Staple Halt. I am looking for a specific location or map reference. Presumably it used Staple railway sidings for receipts and some issues. thanks Peter E Hamlin |

| Message: | Wonderful web site. My great grandparents (James and Emma Baker) moved to Staple from Woodchurch sometime after 1881. They were definitely living at Mill Cottage in 1916 as I have a postcard addressed to them there. I notice you have an old photo of the Mill and adjoining house. Does anyone know who the people are in the photo or when it was taken. Also is this Mill Cottage or Mill House, it doesn't look like the Mill Cottage in the modern photo. Does anyone know anything about Frank Barr and his family? My grandfather married Nellie Barr in Eastry in 1913. I wonder if they were related. Also does anyone know about the Spinner family, a great aunt married a Spinner but I have no more info so I assume they moved away. Any information would be welcome. |

| Message: | Hi my ancestors the Cleaver's come from a variety of places in East Kent - Goodnestone, Staple, Woodnesborough and now Dover to name a few. My great-great grandad lived in a Down Court in 1881. His name was Israel Moses Cleaver. He lived there with his wife Alice (who was born in Staple), his father James (born 1831 in Swalecliffe), and his brother James (born in Down Court). James (Israel's brother) was the first to move living in Staple (Shatterling in fact) in the 1881 census with his wife and children. Israel later moved to Staple, then Littlebourne via Goodnestone. James his brother later moved to Crixhall Court south of Staple. In 1901 none of the family were living at Down Court, supposedly within the parish of Woodnesborough in 1881. Israel's parent's James and Hannah had moved to Staple by this point. There are several places with similar names: Dane Court near Tilmanstone and Denne Court near Woodnesborough/Eastry however a Down Court never appears on any maps (from 1881 on the web) or since 1901 that I have (1950s, 1974, 1990s, 1999). I done a census search and in 1881 only the Cleaver's lived at Down Court. Dane Court and Denne Court had different families living there. The only reference on the web to such a site is the site of the Manor of Down Court in Staple (I wondered if the boundaries changed, as this is a recent site stating where it is now. It makes me think it was probably within Woodnesborough parish in 1881). This link is here: http://www.kentarchaeology.ac/bassets/kasatcksprodn1.pdf On google for this link it only mentions Down Court, Staple but doing a search through the document does not reveal anything. Therefore I wondered whether you have any maps of the Staple/Woodnesborough area in the past showing where Down Court is or whether you/any readers have heard of it. As I cannot find it anywhere, and it does not seem to exist today. It would be nice to know as my ancestors lived there. The Cleaver's were all agricultural labourers by the way. Many thanks for your help Terry Cleaver Dover |

| Message: | For Jon Harvey - The Wheatsheaf I sent this message to your e-mail address but it was sent back so I thought I'd better put it on here! My husband & I were staying at Great Weddington, in Ash, last weekend and we went past your house, on our way to Westmarsh. It reminded me of your entry on Staple OnLine – did you see my reply? Whilst at Great Weddington we found they had a book called ‘Ash – An East Kent Village’. I found the following information on the ‘net: A new book "Ash - An East Kent Village" has been published. David Downes, the author, read history at Jesus College Cambridge and has had a successful career as a solicitor, first practising in Deal and Sandwich. He moved in 1953 to The Street in Ash and continued practising until 1995. He has been a member of Ash Parochial Church Council since 1954 and its archivist for almost as long. The book describes the parish of Ash, one of the largest in Kent with 7,011 acres on the road between Canterbury and the old Cinque Port of Sandwich. It refers to Planché’s book "A Corner of Kent" - written in 1864, which stated "in historical associations, in archaeological interest, few parishes on the United Kingdom perhaps can equal, and certainly none surpass, that of Ash-next-Sandwich". It was created a parish in 1282, having been just part of the great manor of Wingham, belonging to the archbishops of Canterbury, This is a very useful reference book. If anyone would like to buy a copy, send a cheque for £18.50 to D Mawson, The Post Office, 79 The Street, Canterbury, Kent CT3 2AD. I did not have time to read it but there might be something useful in it about the Wheatsheaf? I thought I’d buy a copy! |

This used to have a corrugated iron extension on the back which housed the kitchen. This is all I can remember I'm afraid! Uncle Harry had come down from the North to work on the Kent coalfield, Aunt Kit was a local girl, having previously lived in Westmarsh with her widowed mother. |

I have been told that the 'Friend' family may have lived at Summerfield Farm in the mid l800's and so I was very interested to see the photograph that's now on this web- site. If anyone now living there has information about whether this is correct I would be very interested Amelia Friend who married William Bayly was the daughter of the farmer had a large family, all born in London, the eldest one, another William became a market gardener and may have built 'West View' part of which is now Staple Vineyard.

| Message: | I am researching the Friend family who brough up a William Bayly (their grandson). He subsequently had a market garden and his home was West View Staple. I know that this is now a vineyard as the proprietor told me he bought the land from Mr. Bayly. What I want to know is more about his mother who was Amelia Friend. I belive they lived at Somerfield farm which may have been nearer Ash. |If anyone has any information about this family would they please get in touch. I dont think Amelia's mother had any children by Mr. Friend and the rumour in the family was that Amelia was not his child but it seems he was very good to Amelia Bayly's family of nine children and may have given land to William who they seem to have brought up. I would also like to know if anyone has information about William Bayly, her husband who became a London City Missionary. I think his date of birth may be around l842 - he was married at Ash Congregational church in l862 and celebrated his golden wedding there in l912. Thank you for any information you can give me. |

| Message: | I am researching Pettet/its all over Kent and have discovered that a Thomas and Ann Pettit were buried at Staple in 1811. I would be grateful if someone could look to see if a headstone still exists or enquire whether anyone has recorded the information from the Church Memorial Inscriptions. Many thanks and by the way, I think this is a tremendous village web-site. Rita Pettet of Winchester, Hampshire. |

| Message: | Does anyone know if there were after 1637 or so any of the Eaton family still living in Staple? My many greats-uncle William with his family and my many-greats grandfather, Jonas, left in 1637, and I wonder if any Eatons remained in the area and for how long. They came originally from the parish of St Peter in Dover. Thanks for any help. |

| Message: | Has anyone any information on my Great-Grandparents, who grew up in Staple in around 1830-40? My Great-Grandfather was William Bayly,who was brought up at Summerfield Farm.Family story has it that he was an orphan, so it could be that he had foster parents, who might not have the same name? My Great Grandmother was Amelia.Her Mother's surname was Furken,and story has it that Amelia was the illegitimate daughter of the son of the house where her Mother was working. Her Mother later married a Mr. Friend, who brought Amelia up as his own.(I note that the schoolmaster in 1842, who married Sarah Cozens, was a John William Friend,and wonder about the connection?)When William Bayly married Amelia, she was probably known as Amelia Friend.They would have married possibly in the 1840's or 50's. |

| Message: | The house I live in, Corner Cottage (Fleming Road,Barnsole) used to be two separate dwellings. We converted them into one a few years back. I am very interested in finding out the history of the building(s) and about the families who lived there. If you have any information which could help me I'd be most grateful if you'd let me know. (Replies via this 'Forum' section of Staple Online, please). |

| Message: | I have recently undertaken to research my family history - the LOVE family,who were seen in and around the Staple area between 1780s-1850's. The information I have gained so far is that a man I believe to be my x5 grandfather a Stephen Love of Ash married a Jane Trice of Staple in 1789. They settled in Staple and raised a family. One of their son's (Stephen) unfortuantely became a bit wayward and was transported, for the crime of bigamy, to Australia! I am particularly interested in any information on this family and was wondering if any fellow Staple Online users could assist. |

| Message: | RICHARD CHURCH born 1817 , son of Ann Church and unknown father. However entry in Staple PRs shows christian names as Richard Henry Wellard. Richard Church was my Gt Gt Grandfather and is shown in the '81 Census as a Shepherd living at Shatterling. I would like information about where Ann Church came from and what happened to her. If she did not marry she might be the Ann buried in 1875 aged 77. I would also like to identify the father of her child. The only information that could be relevant is that a Richard Henry Wellard is listed in the 81 Census as born Deal, living in Deal aged 83. Any comments or information much apreciated |

| Message: | WINGHAM & STAPLE Would any Staple-Online users happen to know of any historical/family history societies in these areas? I am trying to locate the descendants of Sarah Maytum Pool(e), the sister of my great great grandfather. He came to the US in 1852. According to old letters written by her, she and her family lived primarily in Staple and Sandwich. She was born in Wingham. thanks, JOHN |
