Hi there
I'm looking for any info on JOAN E TUMBER born 1917 in St George Hanover Square but brought up in New Romney in Kent.
Mother ETHEL ELLEN TUMBER 1879 New Romney
Father SAMUEL THATCHER c1875 Australia (bigamously married Ethel and went back to Australia)
Joan married HORACE W ROGERS born 1910 Boston, Lincs
Children KATHLEEN IRENE ROGERS born Stepney, London 1938
ROSEMARY ANNE ROGERS born Hertford 1939.

Horace died in 1956 in Boston following a fall from some scaffolding and Joan had a breakdown and was admitted to Napsbury Mental Hospital. Kathleen and Rosemary I believe went to live with some relatives in New Romney, Kent.

Kathleen and Rosemary are my cousins and were also my godparents when I was baptised. I'd love to hear from anyone who knows anything about the family.
Regards, Jacky

Hi there
Rosemary Ann Rogers is my mother. She still lives in New Romney. The thread you posted fills a big gap in the knowledge of her family. She has a picture of Percy Blackwood and his daughter outside New Romney church on the day of the christening. She has often talked about you and would like to get touch. She has no picture of Horace William and is disparate to get one. My email is brianhill617@googlemail.com. When she was taken into care all the photos of her birth parents were destroyed. I have been researching Joseph Blackwood and will be happy to share what I have found.
