Looking to find any family of my grandfathers.
I never met him but I now that he moved to Kent in London.
The women that he left with was having his child.
He was from Bircotes near Doncaster in Yorkshire
I have more information my granddad lived at some point at Chippenham near Slough. His local pub was the Chippenham working mens club.
He had a stepson and a daughter and a grandson
Can you Help?

Hello Elaine and welcome to the boards.

It may be worthwhile putting your grandfather's details into the Search Trees Box above to see if anyone else on this site has him in their tree. If you find a connection, you can contact the tree owner. Cx.

On the off chance - a death record for deepest Kent.

John W Cooper
Birth Date: abt 1888
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1963
Age at Death: 75
Registration district: Thanet
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 5b
Page: 806

But as you mention Kent, London that could refer to areas on the London/Kent borders such as Bexley, Woolwich etc.
