	I am happy to look in Folkestone library for records from Elham area. The library does not hold records for Dover though. If you want me to check registers, please send a message with your requirements.

	Just picking out Durrant surname in case they come in handy at some point DOVER St Andrews, Kent - think this is in Buckland Baptisms 1800-1907 1824 Feb 29 Fanny DURRANT William Sarah DOVER St Bartholomew, Kent Baptisms 1872-1929 1873 Dec 07 Mary Ann DURRANT Robert Thomas Mary Anne Miller-man DOVER St James, Kent Baptisms 1800-1940 1891 Feb 25 Louisa Mary DURRANT John & Louisa Park Street Dairyman St Mary the Virgin also rings a bell? Although that could be on FS, the only records they have of her was possibly one with her siblings in the Buckland workhouse. 1901 Edith - 11 May - 10 Victor & Olivia both 7 Ivy - 3 As you have Ancestry, you've probably already seen that

	A search on Google suggests FMP is promising. Sorry.... I don't have access.

Member Since: March 2009 Posts: 719 Send Message	Hi Many thanks for your reply, tried on Ancestry where I have had luck before on other parts of the tree but this I am stumped on If you don't mind looking that would be great - the name is Ivy Margaretta Lilian Durrant - born A/M/J 1897 - do have a date of the 9th March as the actual date though Thanks again

	Free reg is transcribing them at the moment. & I have a disc (If I can find it!) Try family search & FMP if you subscribe. Althernatively, if you've only got a couple of names, post them on here with as much info as you already have.
