#On This Day 15 October 1854

 My great grandfather, Thomas White was baptised in Egerton, Kent almost exactly a month after he was born on 19 September 1854.  He married Betsy Linkins in 1873 at the Congregational Chapel in Ashford.

Thomas was variously described in the census records as an agricultural worker, gardner, farm worker and in 1921 was working on a fruit farm.

Thomas was living at The Lees, Chilham, Kent when he died of an aortic aneurism in 1923.  He is interred in Chilham churchyard.
