My mother was born in Northiam in 1910, she had no father. All we know is is her mother worked in the big house. Her grandmother brought her up. My mother’s name was Edith Stevens. She met my Father, Frederick Loring, in Northiam. They married in 1935. They lived in farm cottages. If anyone has any info on the Stevens family please contact me. My grandmother was also Edith Stevens, she never married.

My Great Grandmother was a Harriet Poile who married Harry Hemstead in 1908. I am not sure of the link but there was a Mrs C Poile who lived at Well House because I have a postcard addressed to Mrs Poile from Harry, my Nan Elsie Hemstead (Harry & Harriets) daughter lived in Shoreham Cottage Northiam. I also have a postcard with a picture of the plaque in memory of those who died in 1914-18 and there is a William Poile MM on it.
Hi Sally,
Firstly sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Only just been notified that there were replies.
If you are the Grand-daughter of Henry then you are my 2nd Cousin. My grand-father was Henry’s brother Charles Edward.

Hello Kevin, Sally & Carol.
We are all cousins of some kind: Kevin & Sally are descended from Thomas POILE, b.1843, son of Thomas & Harriet Poile; Carol & I from his brother Charles Henry, b.1838.
My grandmother was Judith Jane POILE, sister of William, Harriet, Edward Ted) and several others.
I remember visiting Elsie HEMSTEAD at Shoreham Cottage when she lived there with her brother Frank. Ted married Carrie BARNES (Mrs.C.Poile).
I have more info. on this family, and further back,
Regards,
Mary
