Pembury History - People & Families

Pembury History

People & Families of Pembury

This page lists access to information about people and families in Pembury.
It is hoped this may be helpful for anyone tracking their ancestors from Pembury.
We have lots of content ready to be loaded to this section. Please look back sometime.
Much of this data will be scattered about the web site on various pages and in various documents.
These links point to known locations of families or individuals. This is incomplete and is not an exact science.

We are dealing with past and present residents. Current residents may not seem relevant on a history web site,
but times moves on and eventually we all end up becoming history.

There are several sources for locating past & present residents –

(1) the list via this Residents’ List link. It is just a list of names, dates, locations and reference sources.
It is by no means complete and is a work in progress. I think it will always be a work in progress!

(2) Articles and notes on specific people or families, having far more detail than the raw list above.
The list is in order of surname in first column, then by full name and date in the second column.

(3) Pembury Village News articles that have profiled contemporary residents.

The Introduction and Reference page to the Shops & Retail section has links to old trade directories.
These had ‘Commercial’ and ‘Residential’ sections – both containing names of Pembury residents and traders.

PVN Archive

Pembury people, past & present, from the ‘Pembury People’ series or other articles in the Pembury Village News.
Follow the links to the PVN articles. Full PVN Archive is under the ‘Articles’ tab in the main menu.

Some profiles are buried away in the PVN and are not obvious from their titles. Please advise of missing entries.

This list is incomplete, maybe gets updated once a year, and needs a few more hours searching through the archive of PVNs.
Any volunteer search help would be appreciated.
