thankyou once more. It has really been such a help to see it al here for me take in.i really appreciate all the time you have put in

I suggest you now contact Lawrence (GR Member No. 4442547) who has Charles in his tree.

Jenny, When was the first child born? We still don't know about Gertrude. You will need to order the marriage cert for that. Rose

Gordon was born in 1928 and Gloria in 1930. This means that their mother could have been born any time before 1910.

I would bet she was one of these... Gertrude Lilian Cooper 1903 Oct-Nov-Dec Leicester Leicestershire Gertrude Lilian Cooper 1905 Jan-Feb-Mar West Derby Lancashire Gertrude Lilian Cooper 1906 Oct-Nov-Dec Aston Warwickshire Gertrude Lilian Cooper 1906 Oct-Nov-Dec Isle Of Wight Hampshire, Isle Of Wight Gertrude Lilian Cooper 1906 Oct-Nov-Dec Nottingham Nottinghamshire

Jenny, I just read back over this thread and noticed that you didn't understand the relevance of the Faversham Munitions Works..... it's where Charles and his nephew would have worked. If they were still working there 15 years later they could have been victims of the explosion.

Ayletts in Faversham and Ospringe Parish records and census data show families in Faversham and neighboring Ospringe from the early 19thC. These are mainly poor labouring families on the land – hayworkers agricultural workers with the occasional brickmaker and gardener. It's likely that the Faversham and Ospringe families were related to each other but there is no hard evidence. Families began to spread out of this area as the 19thC went on – for example by the 1850s an Ospringe Thomas Aylett had married an Ellen Grantham in Bredgar and gone on to bring up a family there. A George Aylett born in 1851 in faversham and marrying an Emily Page 1853, 13 October 1872 at St Marys, Faversham, moved all the way to Norfolk, and several generations of the family grew up there, including Albert Christmas Aylett (1877-1952) who got his middle name because he was born on December 25th and oddly also died on the same day. Descendants of this family are around in the present day. Another Albert, born in 1871, moved even further to become a mine worker in Coalville, Leicestershire. Again, the family stayed in the area for more than one generation, and again their descendants are still around. This was on a website devoted to the Aylett family: aylett.cwc.net/home.html

Cheers i realise that now lol. Thanks for all the info. I have now found gertrude and sidneys marriage now they were married in q3 in 1919.

If you go to: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/details-result.asp?Edoc_Id=7158356&queryType=1&resultcount=22s You can look up these details and then for £3.50 download Sydney's complete record: Name Aylett, Sydney Charles Official Number: J40410 Place of Birth: Faversham, Kent Date 22 September 1899 Catalogue reference ADM 188/727links to the Catalogue Dept Records of the Admiralty, Naval Forces, Royal Marines, Coastguard, and related bodies Series Admiralty: Registers of Seamen's Services Piece 40001-40500 Image contains 1 item for the catalogue reference There are several other Ayletts too, so you might find other members of the same family. The Ayletts are a perfect family for genealogical research as they have a fairly unusual name and have largely stayed in the same area. You will find plenty of them by Googling - including Eleanor Aylett who was denounced as a witch!!!

Jenny, Are you sure there weren't more children if the marriage was in 1919? Might be worth looking. This might be your Gertrude: Births Mar 1896 Cooper Gertrude Lily Billericay 4a 495 From 1901, her parents look to be James and Elizabeth. Rose

i just wanted to say thanks for everyones help it has made this section of my family a little bit easier to trace. I have just got the rest to work out now :)
