** WHAT'S NEW? .2.11.09 Cathy DIXON of Napier, NZ [ID 22877 128(10)2 12 below] sent me most of this research: "Our ancestry was recorded by a great uncle Sid DIXON who interviewed older relatives and basically got the tree back to Isaac DIXON of Rochester, Kent married 1803. He passed all the info onto my brother [Grant ID 22877 128(10)2 12 below] who in 1991 paid a genealogist in Kent to take the tree back further. He got it back to Walter DIXON m 1567. The genealogist drove around 60 odd Parishes to gather the info!" He is Richard M ELLENDER, deceased, referred to below as RME. Other sources include the IGI. Yet to search ancestry. PRIVACY If anyone alive wishes any of their details removed, just let me know.

0. The ID system The initial male ancestor is given ID 0 and generation number 0-. His children are given ID 1, 32, ... and generation number 1-. The children of say 3 are given ID 31, 32, ... and generation number 2-. They are inserted between the descendants of 2, and person with ID 4. This process is repeated with a space inserted after every 5th digit for ease of reading. So to find the sibs of 228 3-William DICSON, you can first search backwards for 2- to find his parents 22 2-John DIXON 1610-1676 m 1632 sp-Sarah KINGSMILL (where sp- means spouse), and then search forward from 22 for 3- to find 221, 222, ...

This includes the seaside towns of Margate & Ramsgate, the busy ports of Dover and FOLKESTONE and the Cinque Ports of Lydd, New Romney, Hythe and Sandwich. The area also covers inland areas. eg Registers of shipping for DEAL, Dover, FOLKESTONE, Ramsgate, Sandwich & Shipping Crew lists for DEAL, Dover, FOLKESTONE, Ramsgate We hold the records for the diocese of ROCHESTER, which was one of the main issuing authorities for marriage licences in Kent. Unfortunately, there are no marriage licences within these records, although there are marriage bonds and allegations dating from 1637 until 1986 (with many large gaps). Those for the years 1637-1900 have been microfilmed, but later material will have to be consulted in the document searchroom. To ascertain whether or not we hold the years you require, you will have to first consult the diocesan catalogue (reference: DRb/M), although the microfilms are arranged chronologically. At CKS, there is a chronological, manuscript index to the names found among the ROCHESTER diocese marriage bonds and allegations for the years 1637 to 1840 (allegations only after 1823). Additionally, full abstracts have been published of the diocese of Canterbury's marriage allegations, bonds and licences. These cover the years 1543-1869 and can be found on the library bookshelves at CKS (reference: xK 929.3). However, those for the bonds and allegations dated 1700-1734 are available only in a microfiche format (reference: K 929.3).

Records for north west Kent are at Medway Archives and Local Studies Centre. CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL ARCHIVES CCA is managed in partnership with Canterbury Cathedral and Canterbury City Council. It houses the records of Canterbury Cathedral ( including its estates throughout south east England and beyond), Canterbury Diocese (comprising especially Bishops' Transcripts, ecclesiastical court records and tithe maps) and parishes in east Kent. It also holds local government records for Canterbury City and its predecessors and records of other organisations, businesses, administrations and individuals in and around Canterbury, WHITSTABLE and Herne Bay.
