Phyllis,

Are you sure that your aunt was born 1895 to 1898, and was she always called Katie by your Father?

If her Mother was Nellie, born 1881, then Nellie was very young for a birth in 1895.

Who did your Father believe to be his Father?

Thank-you.

When looking at Death of Reuben the other day (1899) was trying to find him 1891, think Florence might have been the wife, there is a Burial (1897 Folkestone if her)
Couldn't see him...

Just wondered who his 3 children are as stated in newspaper article...

If your Father is convinced that she is older than him, and he was born in April 1901, then she should be somewhere on 1901 census.

But, as an alternative approach, if they both went to school together, they should show on a school's admission records.

Probably not on-line, but if someone can find Stanley, then the missing sister may be revealed.

Phyllis ..

I'm sorry but I cannot understand what you have just posted.

Please tell me if this is what you mean?

many thanks on Rueben

it was a shock, I could not make out why he died around the same as his sister annie

you also have it round the wrong way. Gt gran and g granddad took gran to dover, leaving the boys in Folkestone.

I took the name Kathleen from my sister as she has my grans name ellen second and Kathleen third

gran said she should have stood up for her daughter so she did not get passed off as a sister. Dad did have sister three or four years older than him and they went to (??) together

when aunt vanished, they moved from 2 dour st to temple st then they left dover about 1914/15 to live at 92 Canterbury rd Folkestone, were my grand gran parents died.

I went to st eanswith so it was my church

so you do not really know the name of your missing aunt?

"gran said she should have stood up for her daughter"

What do you mean, Phyllis? In what way should your gran have stood up for your aunt?

there was never any talk about Rueben death he just died like the rest of the family and as I said I went to that church for about six years I heard the name of Kathy @ kitty so that made my mine to my sister third name yes she was born out of wedlock so was my dad but I got the ideal that they knew who he was also who would give for my gran permistion to marry mr lott she was 36 years old at the time

Phyllis

Your grandmother would have required no-one's permission to marry Mr Lott if she was 36 ...................... she was over the age of 21.

To find out who lived at 5 Copthall gardens, try the Electoral Roll at the Civic Centre, Folkestone - address and instructions given in this link:

https://www.shepway.gov.uk/the-electoral-register

If they don't have such old ERs, they'll be able to tell you where to find them.
What year are you talking about?
