Hi
Many many thanks for this information. It is a big break through and for other family members. It may now need to look in different avenues.

To find out whose children the others were, you will probably have to invest in copy birth certs

Or, if you live within reach of Kent Records Office, pay a visit and see if there are baptism records for them

Wow
One could not believe the complexity of ones past family history.
This certainly is a forward move, but it does leave the question of the other grandchildren
It is very much appreciated.
Many thanks
John :-)

As Erika says, you'll need to buy the birth certs to find out their parentage.
