My family tree has been traced back to Gravesend. I was wondering if there is any information from over there about the Graves family. We are not sure exactly when they came over. The information we have here is in the local library. I forgot to write down the dates. It may have been either the 1500's or 1600's. Please let me know. Also, my family, (the Carter family), comes from England. If there is any information about them, I would enjoy knowing it. Thank you for this awesome website and chance to contact you! God bless!!!

Just wondering if anyone knows if the Clarendon hotel is just shut for refurbishments or if it is shut for good. Went up there for a meal only to find it boarded up

smile Glad I found this site. Neat to see how things looked way back when and now. A lot of places need to do this for us history nerds who search for things like that are out of the normal.

(91) My Gt. Gt. Grandfather William Farmer lived in Gravesend and although he was far from a famous resident he did rate a dishonourable mention in
"A Historical Walk Through Gravesend And Northfleet" published by Gravesend Historical Society; which was cited in Wombwell Hall([www.discovergravesham.co.uk]). William was certainly not exactly a model citizen but I would be interested in learning any additional details that have have led the author of the above publication to describe him “as a criminal and public nuisance” The details I have uncovered to date are found at: [www.stoneyburn.ca]

Hi Jackie....I remember them coming round in their van and my Mum buying the paraffin. Think they also sold housewares as well, he was quite a well built chap with sandy coloured hair, that has bought back some memories...Iris

I remember Mr. Johnson's paraffin van very well as he ran his business from a garage in Lennox Road, Gravesend. At one time he had 2 vans. The garage is still there in very good condition and not long ago was refurbished and retains it's original features. He lived in a house by the Pelham Arms roundabout. My wife remembers as a child being sent by her mum to his van with a bottle or jug for vinegar that he sold on tap. I believe he stopped trading sometime in the 70s.

I am interested in finding out any information on Johnson's paraffin,a local family run business that started late 1800's with a horse & cart and was still trading through till the early 1980's.
