Does anyone remember the Pay family who lived at The Butts. Brothers Ted, Harry & their sister Lizzie? They were my great uncles & aunt & I am researching my family tree & would love to hear from anyone with info on them.
Thanks!

I remember Harry Pay. I also vaguely remember going to his house on the Butts when I was very young and doing "Bob-a-job" for the scouts.
He used to help my father by digging a piece of ground we owned beside the Ash road level crossing.

Many thanks for that, Derek. It's good to meet someone who remembers them. They also had other siblings, one of whom, John, I have recently discovered died in France during the 1st world war. His name is shown on the Sandwich war memorial. It seems that Harry lived in Australia for a while but returned to UK after his wife died. I used to visit them when I was a small child.
