This account deals with a common name with many variations. It sets out to trace a line and its context of deep links to families and places. It starts with the provisional in the 16th century, with more confident connections in later periods up to the First World War. Kent has one of the finest collections of historical records; but there is ample scope for confusion when a family name is so widely found. Many of the connections uncovered here were forgotten over the last 150 years, given migration and business opportunities here and overseas in the Victorian age. The book has benefited from family and academic help; it has extensive footnotes and index, and a bibliography. It includes five maps and early surveys, and 29 other illustrations.
