What exactly do you want to know about the Osborns, Alan?

There's little point in giving you information you already have.

Much too vague, Alan

Have you done ANY research yourself? Freebmd is a good place to start!

Deal/Walmer is obviously military.

You haven’t even said which century

You must have some inkling of names and dates!

Does anyone have info regarding Osborn from Deal/Walmer in Kent. The name Keetch would also be connected. There is also a military connection. Any info will be appreciated.
Thank you
