  • John Newport & Elizabeth
    John Newport & Elizabeth (née Browning) (1726-????) (1730-1754) (my 5 x Great Grandparents) Preamble The following was originally written as a letter to another family historian, laying out the problem of this John and Elizabeth and the proof that they were, in fact, my ancestors – at least, beyond a reasonable doubt. I needed someone to follow my argument and give me their opinion, which they did and we agreed that they were my ancestors – hence they are here! The letter was written many years ago and I re-wrote it, as a story, some time afterwards (for those who know computers, it was when the BBC micro was the most popular personal computer!) – Obviously, long before I thought of the Internet. I have not re-read the story, changed or modified it, before putting it on this website – mainly because of the work involved in picking up the threads of the argument again, after all these years! I hope it makes sense – it must have done when I wrote! The Story he following is the story of how I proved, beyond what I would call a reasonable doubt, that John Newport and Elizabeth Browning were my 5x great grandparents. T After spending, literally, years trying to find out more about my 4 x great grandfather, other than he married my 4 x great grandmother in Barham in 1780, I realised that such information as I had was probably all I was going to find. This meant that my family history was going to come to a stop. I decided to approach the problem from another direction.

  • Present: Cllr R Evison, Cllr R Whiting, Cllr A
    HACKINGTON PARISH COUNCIL MINUTES OF HACKINGTON PARISH ASSEMBLY HELD AT TYLER HILL MEMORIAL HALL AT 7.00pm ON THURSDAY 14th March 2019 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Present: Cllr. R Evison (Chairman); Cllr. B. Fitter-Harding; Cllr. A. Cover; Cllr. T. Hulks; Cllr. N. Cronin and D Horswell (Clerk). Also present: Ward Cllr. G. Metcalfe; County Cllr. Robert Thomas and twenty two residents. Apologies for Absence: Ward Cllr. Amy Baker. The Chairman opened the meeting by welcoming everyone to the Parish Assembly. An update was given by Paul Leary (KCC Highways Officer) on the traffic survey which had been carried out by KCC on Canterbury Hill. This had been conducted on 27th November 2018 and had recorded data on the stretch of the road from Calais Hill to Giles Lane. The average speed of the traffic had been found to be well within the 40mph speed limit, however, Members of the Parish Council pointed out that the rush hour traffic obviously skews the average speed. Residents had the opportunity, through the Chairman, to ask questions and voice their concerns to Paul. Suitable measures which would be allowable for traffic calming were discussed and KCC were asked for recommendations that could be put before the Parish Council for discussion. The problem of the narrowness of the footpath on Canterbury Hill and a suggestion of the hedges and vegetation being needed to be cut back and removed to allow for extra width for the safety of pedestrians was expressed. Paul is to take all the issues and suggestions by the Parish Council and residents back to KCC for implementation.
