Since the Autumn of 1999 I have attempted to uncover the genealogy and history of my
Tilbury family and of those others which have become related to it through marriage,
principally the Couldridge, Meek, Page, Deadman and Radley families. On the
way I have made a few false starts and many new friends, mainly through the internet
and the Maidstone, Kent, Family History Centre of the LDS Church.
Of particular interest to me at present are Susan, Carol and Alan, pictured below as they were in 1965.
They are thought to have lived in Sussex or Surrey, England, at that time.
If you have any information which may help me find them, please contact me, in strictest confidence, at the address below.
I had hoped to present all of my findings on these pages as my research progressed
but for now I am confining their content to show a descendant chart for my
earliest-known Tilbury ancestor, my great great grandfather Thomas of Marylebone, England,
brassfounder and self-styled Gentleman.
My personal Tilbury tree is not very large but David Tilbury of the USA
and Linden Tilbury of Australia have
encouraged me to merge our three individual trees into one comprehensive
document which you will find on Page 2.
My intention for the future is to update the site as new connections are discovered
so please keep coming back and don't hesitate to write to me if you can contribute
any information on the Tilbury family or require assistance with your own branch.
Finally, here is a link to a website about Edward Tilbury, another
Marylebone resident, who was probably known to Thomas and who may even have been related to him,
but the facts of the matter have yet to be discovered.
