Steve and Pauline Jones’ Family History

If you don’t know where you came from, you won’t know where you are going. You have to study your history. Gil Scott-Heron

The Monk Family of Sussex & Kent

The Monk family were originally from Worth, Sussex, a village that has now been swallowed up by the town of Crawley. Around 1822 they moved to Halling, Kent. There are several links by marriage to other Kentish families in which we have an interest: Parris, Mayatt and Beadle. The picture is of Alfred Monk (1862-1946) and his family. It was probably taken around 1912 (tap/click to enlarge). Alfred married Clara Beadle in 1882. Back row L-R: Helen Agnes (1892-?); Clara Hester (1889-?); Alfred James (1887-1940); Alice Maud (1884-?); Mabel Elaine (1896-?). Front row L-R: Dora Ruth (1900-1966); Alfred; Clara; Albert Frank (1898-1982); Cora Grace (1903-1983). On the far right hand side, two boys can be seen at the window, watching the photo shoot. They may be Jesse and Ernest Hart who appear in the 1911 census (age 9 and 3 respectively) living next to the Monk family with their parents Jesse and Amy, and 3 older sisters. We have much more information to share about the Monk family, over six generations, starting with Thomas Monk (1748-1831). Tap or click the icon to contact us .
