My Family.

Image via WikipediaMy mum and dad were in born in a place called Creekmouth in Barking which is in Essex just beside the River Thames.The photograph is the barrier on the Creekmouth which protects the area from flooding.My parents were born in cottages that were once nearby. They were first cousins as my mum`s mother and my dad`s mother were sisters.
My dads family The Stones were originally from Saxlingham Nethergate in Norfolk. The Sedges who were my two grandmothers family came from the Borden area in Kent.My mum`s Fathers family the Hussey`s originally came from the Honiton area in Devon.
Although the three families were from wildly different parts of the country from the late eighteen hundreds most lived in and around the Barking area.
In this blog I will be writing about the my family, its roots and its history.I have been researching the families history for about six years and I will tell you about those things I have found out and the mysteries that I have found and still not resolved.
