My earliest confirmed relative is:
James William
b.1826 in Kidbrook Kent (1861 & 1871 census)
d.1871 (BMD: 1871 Sep age 45 Blything 4a 458)
m.1852 to Martha HERBERT (BMD: 1852 Mar Hoxne 4a 653)

He had eight children:
George, Charles, Henry, Elizabeth, James William, Arthur, Ellen and Alfred James

I have information that suggests his father was John Tovell (1802- ) and Charlotte (1803- ). However I can not find any data to back this up.

Any help would be appreciated.
