  • Notes 
    • As of the 1851 census John and his small family were living on Water Lane and he worked as a mariner. In their short time together, John having died 5 years and 5 months after his marriage, they had had four children. The last of John's children, Elizabeth, was born 3 months after her father's death in 1854. Neither of John's two sons survived - John having died during 1853 and Charles during 1854.

      By 1861 Susan had remarried a man by the name of George Fright, a publican at the Royal Standard on Court Street. Jane and Elizabeth were still living with their mother. This family left Faversham by 1871 but not before Jane had also died at age 17 during April, May or June of 1867. George Fright had been born at Whitstable and it may be that the family returned to that town.

      Married December 25, 1848, John Gregory, full age, dredger, residence at Faversham, father Edward Gregory, dredger, to Susan Ward, full age, in service, residence at Faversham, father William Ward, dredger. Witnesses: Edward Gregory and Daniel Gregory.
      This couple immediately after his first cousin, Emery Milsted, a widower, married for the second time, Amey Savel. It begs the question if the weddings were deliberately planned for the same day and if so, that the relationship between Emery and John must have been a close one.
