Hi Shirley,

You have managed to find so much information. Many thanks for your help. AND for confirming that I am on the right track.

With the help of my husband I am now going to try and piece it all together.

Will let you know outcome.
Once again thank you.

Doreen
I think the significant thing is that the only Henry James Buggs b circa 1890 that comes up is the one born in Meopham . Births had to be registered too at that time .

The info on his marriage cert too that his dad was also a Henry and was deceased and was a licensed victualler also ties in with whats been found.

I would be confident its the right family.

His mum is no longer living with her sister ,where she was on the 1901 census) she is in a live in postion in Sussex

well there is a Harry/Henry Buggs in the Navy based in Essex and states born Meopham on the 1911 census Suppose he could have gone in and come out again.

Hi Shirley,
Thanks again for info.

Henry James states on his marriage cert. 7.12.1913 that he is an Art Metal Worker living at 5 Letchford Gardens.

Susan Colley states her occupation as that of a Machinist and living at same address.

Don't think I could find him on 1911 census but will take another look.

Doreen

if you highlight it then Google theres several sites that have info on it.

Can i ask you what occupation Henry James was on his marriage cert of 1913, and have you looked on the 1911 census for him and his mum.?

Shirley,
You are certainly not invisible. Many thanks for all your help and encouragement.
Thank you to everyone else that posted.

Guess What? I have one more question!!!

I found the following information but do not know what it means - any ideas please:

England, Extracted Parish and Court Records

Here's another link:

http://deadpubs.co.uk/KentPubs/Meopham/Cricketers.shtml

Has a timeline on the front page ...

Jill

There is a lot of info around re the Cricketer's Arms. I can't access this website at work as it won't let me ...

www.meopham.org

You may not need to buy any certs if they lived in and around Meopham as the parish records are on Cityark - Medway's website.

Yes there are lots of Buggs' around - My OH has some of these in his tree and I have struggled a bit with them. He is somehow connected to your Buggs at Cricketers Arms but I don't have the paperwork here with me to check it out for you. However, I will pop back to this thread when I am at home with the computer on ...

Jill

p.s. I purchased a CD with the Meopham records on - it cost me about £6 and is much the same as the records on Cityark but I don't have to be on the internet to search the records which saves a few arguments at home!

Doreen,
It does look like these people have found all the info they can for you and it's all free. The cost of getting someone to do it for you can be expensive and it's more fun doing it yourself.
If you want to get further back than 1841 then you will have to look on family search etc.

I think they have also confirmed that you do have the correct family.
I have asked a question on here once and the answers were coming so fast that I couldn't keep up with the replies. It was manic, but I got there in the end.

I'd suggest you print off the thread and look through it. I find it easier to get info from it. You could them copy and paste sections into microsoft word and print it out in a proper format for you records.

Another thing -- if you google The Cricketers Inn, their website may list all previous landlords. Thats nice for your records too.

Hang on am I invisible !

Why do you need someone to research your tree.I have given you a loads of info and taken it way back.

If you need proof its YOUR tree then buy grandads birth cert.and work back from there.his parents name will be on the cert

Name: Henry James Buggs
Year of Registration: 1890
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Strood (1885-1923)
County: Kent
Volume: 2a
Page: 502


Henry James stated his dads name on his marrige cert and said he was deceaesed and his dads death cert ref has been posted .

The family are consistently at the same address The Cricketers Arms .

Wish some branches of my tree were that easy to follow.

Patchem,
Yes I got there myself but needed confirmation that I had gone down the right road? AND now I don't know which way to go as there (as stated previously) so many Buggs!! AND there was I thinking it was an unusual name!!!

I have read from tips/blog etc., that it is so easy to be caught up in what I hopes/assume is the right way only to find that I have been going completely off in the wrong direction///!

Have you been doing this for long - you seem to know what you are talking about

Still wanting confirmation that I am on the right track???
.
Still asking for any takers to research my family tree!!!!

Have to close now as still have to cash up for the day and go home and eat!
Thanks everyone
Doreen

you need to buy a few certificates ie Henry birth of 1890 His parents marriage etc

The Cricketers Inn Is in the family for many years and does have sisters in law etc working there from time to time which confirms maiden names of the wives.
