Parents: Henry [1836-1908] and Emily Catherine Kemp [1845-1871]; 1st wife of Henry had 2 sons: William Henry [b1867] and Arthur George [1870]; 2nd wife: Emily Jacklin: had 4 sons and 2 daughters; the oldest son Ernest died when a child; Florence Kate [1880]; Sydney Thomas [1882]; Gertrude Emily [1883]; Harold and George Bower - twins - b 1884.

Who might their descendents be please???

Henry's younger sister Isabella Kemp Barrett [1838-] md George Barrett, Bethnal Green, c 1876. They had 4 children: Isabella, George, Henry and Ann. They lived for decades in Middleton Street, Bethnal Green: as per several censuses.

Who might their descendents be please???

My great grandfather was George Kemp, younger brother of Henry and Isabella. He married Jane Green in 1881 and had one legitimate child only, my grandfather, George William Kemp [1885-1962] who emigrated to Australia in 1912.

My grandfather's mother, Jane was from Weeley, then St Osyth in Essex. Her parents were Robert Green and Sarah Watkins Green, who was from Wales originally. Jane was the youngest child of these 2 people; their other children were John, Octavious and Sarah Ann, later just Ann.

Any descendents out there?!
