I am happy to look in Folkestone library for records from Elham area.

The library does not hold records for Dover though.

If you want me to check registers, please send a message with your requirements.

Just picking out Durrant surname in case they come in handy at some point

DOVER St Andrews, Kent - think this is in Buckland
Baptisms 1800-1907
1824 Feb 29 Fanny DURRANT William Sarah

DOVER St Bartholomew, Kent
Baptisms 1872-1929
1873 Dec 07 Mary Ann DURRANT Robert Thomas Mary Anne Miller-man

DOVER St James, Kent
Baptisms 1800-1940
1891 Feb 25 Louisa Mary DURRANT John & Louisa Park Street Dairyman

St Mary the Virgin also rings a bell? Although that could be on FS, the only records they have of her was possibly one with her siblings in the Buckland workhouse. 1901
Edith - 11
May - 10
Victor & Olivia both 7
Ivy - 3

As you have Ancestry, you've probably already seen that

Hi

Many thanks for your reply, tried on Ancestry where I have had luck before on other parts of the tree but this I am stumped on

If you don't mind looking that would be great - the name is Ivy Margaretta Lilian Durrant - born A/M/J 1897 - do have a date of the 9th March as the actual date though

Thanks again

Free reg is transcribing them at the moment. & I have a disc (If I can find it!)
Try family search & FMP if you subscribe.

Althernatively, if you've only got a couple of names, post them on here with as much info as you already have.
