I am looking for my Great Grandfather. My Grandfather was born in Woolwich {then Kent} in 1883, he had several siblings, William, Alice, Anna, Edward. My Great Grandmother I believe was Mary, but I have no first name for her husband. As far as I can gather he may have been called Henry and came from the Medway area of Kent If anyone has any information on Huit's please contact . Thank you.
