• Notes

  An 1881 census entry for an Edward Milsted born in Faversham has been found in Chirton, Northumberland. That Edward, however, claims to have been 40 years of age at the time. This Edward did have a brother who was born during 1839 which would be a closer match in age, but his name was Emery James - quite a significant difference from the name Edward. I have been unable to follow this fellow's life any further and so have, for the meantime, settled on attaching the 1881 census entry to Edward. He is one of only two Milsted men from the Faversham area who were unmarried, born during the 1830 to 1850 range and who also disappear from the local records.
