Anybody researching HALES, CLINCH, COX, CORNWELL, KEMSLEY, GUNYON AND COBB families from the Maidstone/Sittingbourne areas in Kent? If so, I have just put on my website at http://uk.geocities(.)com/ancestralpast - remove brackets as always - 36 late Victorian/early EdwardianCabinet Photographs, and photographic postcards from a photograph album which previously belonged to a member of the Hales family from the Maidstone and Sittinbourne areas in Kent. The Hales were clearly connected to the other families mentioned above, probably by marriage. It would be marvellous to find a proven descendant so that this album could be offered back to the family. David

Great news! Thanks to the kind intervention of a GC member researching Clinch ancestors, the Hales Album has just been passed to Hales descendant. I have not yet recorded this on AncestralPast, but will do so in the not too distant future. It is going to take a little while for me to sort out the family detail I have been given and put it into a meaningful success story. David

Well done David and that GC member! (It was Verna, Just read the tips board!). I am so glad to see old photos returned to the family where they belong, that is sooooooo great. I have come over all aglow!!!!! (You know how I love old photos). Keep up the good work David, you are a STAR!! By the way, I keep popping back to your site, but alas, never see anyone I recognise, boo hoo. Lisa xx

Hi Lisa and Sandra Thanks for your encouraging words. The discovery of the Hales descendants certainly made me feel that my efforts on the web site have been worthwhile. Hope you will keep an eye on AncestralPast in the coming weeks as I am working on a major revamp. There are no visible signs of this yet as all the work is going on offline. But, there will be more piccies to add as part of the work - not to mention an interesting financial ledger I stumbled across at an antiques fair. Sandra - Please let me know if you discover your Clinches are related. Best wishes David
