	Shirley, I just spoke to mum and asked her if she remembered an aunt Beattie. She said oh of course. That was the Kemp family that lived in Kent, but had no idea how they were connected. She does remember that Beattie was surnamed Osborne, so Grace the daughter must have married into that name. I recall a photo of her backyard with some lads in it just before going off to war. So happy to say we have the correct family, and another puzzle is solved! Thankyou so much for your great help.

	No luck finding any marriages, and wondering if there was another daughter called Beatrice perhaps. Charles Kemp passed away after Grace B, and doubt a divorce and remarriage. Another mystery!

	Much belated, but some answers to this thread. Thanks to a long lost family member making contact, we have solved some puzzles. Grace Kemp was the daughter of John Town form his first marriage. Her daughter was also called Grace, and to avoid confusion, she was called Aunt Bettie. They lived in Kent, and their property back onto their neighbours...the Osbournes, who became life long family friends. The children called Mrs. Osborne Aunt Beattie, though no relation. Beattie's 2 daughters were the bridesmaids at my Grandmothers wedding. Thankyou again for all of your help.

	Thanks Chris. Yes once we knew how they fitted into the family, it was easy to find. But what we didn't know at the time was that Grace's father had married again, and that she was my My GGAunt Harriett's step daughter (Mum's step 2nd cousin). I will cross check my data and fill in anything extra you have added :-D
